Dissecting Table/Industrial Document 1988/1991/Steinklang/2011 Double CD Review


  Dissecting  Table  are  a  band  from  Japan  that  plays  a  mixture  of  harsh  noise/industrial/noisecore  and  death  metal  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  2011  double  cd  compilation  "Industrial  Document  1988/91"  which  was  released  by  Stenklang.

  Percussion  which  is  used  instead  of  drums  bring  a  more  mechanical  and  tribal  feeling  to  the  music,  while the  synths,  sampler  and  seqeuncer  bring  the  dark  ambient,  harsh  noise  and  industrial  sounds  to  the  recording  which  in  addition  sound  more  experiemental  and  evil  sounding  on  the  second  disc,  as  for  the  bass  playing  it  has  a  very  dark  sound  with  some  primitive  riffing.

  Rhythm  guitars  on  this  recording  when  they  are  utilized  which  is  mostly  on  the  first  disc  are  very  primitive  sounding  noise/grind/industrial  riffs  that  alternate  between  slow,  mid  paced  and  fast  riffing  and  there  are  no  guitar  solos  or  leads  present  on  this  recording.

  Vocals  are  mostly  high  pitched  noisecore/industrial  screams  with  a  brief  use  of  Gregorian  and  tribal  chanting  being  used  on  a  couple  of  songs  with  the  second  disc  utilizing  some  deep  death  metal  growls  and  they  sound  better  on  the  second  disc,  while  the  lyrics  cover  dark,  hateful and  violent  themes,  as  for  the  production  both  cd's  where  recorded  live  with  a  3  year  time  span  between  each  one  and  they  have  a  very,  dark,  raw  and  primitive  sound  to  them  while  the  one  from  1991  is  better  produced  than  the  one  in  1988.

  In  my  opinion  Dissecting  Table  are  a  very  great  sounding  harsh  noise/death  industrial/noisecore  hybrid  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  this  style  of  music,  you  should  check  out  this  band.  RECOMMENDED TRACKS  ON  CD  1  "Silent  Violence"  "Rotation  Of The  Conflict"  "Psychic  Noise"  and  "Control  Matter" ,  RECOMMENDED  Tracks  On  Cd  2  "Road  To  Death"  "Death  March"  "Murder  Music"  and  "humanism  1".  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
