INVERTICRUX Virgin Reaper 10 tracks Guitarist Terry Savastano, formerly of noteworthy agglomerations such as Disrupt, Grief, Warhorse, and Superpower, fronts this band, previously doing business as Vintage Flesh. Musically, it’s exemplary black/doom metal with overlays of Satan rock, and all the standard tropes are prominently in evidence from the get-go—heavily doomy bass, frenetically showboating guitars, lyrics growled and ululated. The extraordinary thing about this collection is that there seems to be a real sense of compositional ingenuity and even an attenuated melodicism, howsoever buried beneath the genre conventions. Furthermore, Inverticrux is also distinguished by an eclectic, everything-but-the-kitchen-sink approach, in which any passing whim or goofy apercu is likely to be incorporated into the mix—outlandish operatic bellowing, tinny harmonica, goofy samples. The whole collection is carnivalesque, full of subversive humor amid the seeming chaos—chock full of genre clowning which ardent fans of this subculture may find refreshingly entertaining. “Lured by the Scent of Infants Blood” is perhaps the most amusing of the lot, followed by “Mister Dead/Spider Gates” (no doubt a shout-out to the notorious cemetery in Leicester Massachusetts.) (Francis DiMenno)
