Malevolent at there Best!.......2007-03-15

This is the heaviest, brutalist, deadly cd i have ever put on. Its weird like its got its groovy parts in the song which puts these guys ahead of there time. Its like the Pantera groove but in death metal but has Slayer's crushing riffs. This is a keeper for anyone in metal. Its god like with Rob Barrett on guitars. And the drumming with Brent Hoffman's vokills it just flows. A must have cd!!!!

Very good!!!!.......2007-01-31

A death metal milestone!!! This album along with "The ten commandments" and "Stillborn" exemplifies the death metal genre in the pure form. Good guitar riffs, excellent vocals and incredible drumming. A must have for the death metal aficionado. This album is out of print and hard to find but if you find it, buy it!! You won't regret it!!!

Enter the Systematic Execution.......2005-08-13

I'm honestly surprised by how few death metal fans are actually aware of Malevolent Creation. They are one of the best Death Metal bands out there and have existed since 1987. Any Malevolent Creation album with Brett Hoffman on vocals is the perfect place to start. There are few Death Metal bands that stand up to this guy. I like what reviewer Oddity said about this record, in that it is Brett's vocal and lyrical ability that bands like Cannibal Corpse, Deicide, Etc. lack in their music. Those guys probably sit and write the lyrics in five minutes and tend to grunt the words together. As a result, all their songs the same and you can't take it too seriously (seriousness is something I like in my music) and becomes boring. Where as the way Brett Hoffman growls and projects his voice and the way he write the songs, you can tell, or at least get the feel that he is dead serious about it and honestly sounds like he came from Hell (and I don't say that too often). Also the Drums, Bass and Guitar are excellent. Just check out my particularly favorite song titled Mindlock for proof. If you like Death Metal like Vader then this definitely for you.

An interesting thing about Malevolent Creation is that their lineup practically changes on every album, keeping them fresh. It's sad that Roadrunner decided to discontinue most of their Malevolent Creation albums. Get a copy of this as quickly as possible off eBay or something; you'll be glad you did. Hopefully they will re-release these but that doesn't look like it's gonna happen anytime soon. This is difficult to find but the search is worth it. It shreds, it pounds, it screams, it kills, it owns. Just hunt down a copy and you'll be one happy head banger.

Interesting Fact: This album was produced by Scott Burns, who also Produced Sepultura's Arise and Beneath the Remains. His great production shines on this record as well as those.

good record.......2005-03-21

this record is great, as it has brett hoffman returning on vocals and phil fasciana is still shredding faster than most people can comprehend, but it lacks the catchiness of the ten commandments and the overall brutality of Envenomed and the Fine Art of Murder, in my opinion. after 'eve of the apocolypse', which is one of the sickest songs ever put to tape, it gets a little monotonous with a few exceptions. it's by no means a bad record and deserves a 5 out of 5, it's just not my favorite malevolent creation album.

Slaughter Of Innocence - Die Motherf--ker !!!!!!!!!!.......2004-01-28

This is my favorite Malevolent Creation album as well as my favorite death metal album of all-time. I bought it on my 15th birthday along with The Ten Commandments and a Metallica cassette single of Wherever I May Roam all in the year 1992. I bought all 3 on cassette. Anyway, these were the times when I was first getting into death metal. It all started with this local radio station here in Florida called WSHE and their Sunday Night 12:00 AM program that consisted of only music by bands from Florida. They were playing a lot of death metal and they kept playing the song Eve Of The Apocalypse dozens of times. That song was the most scarriest, heaviest, brutal song that I ever heard in my life. It's scarred the hell out of me at first but it quickly grew on me. I was only new to death metal at the time but I really was hungry for the heaviest, most brutal kinds of metal possible. It was a slow process but it gained a whole lot of momentum. Than one day, Florida was striken by Harricane Andrew and I went through the aftermath. During these times, I kept turning into that same local show and awaiting for them to play Eve Of The Apocalypse. I even requested it but they didn't play it. Than, I spent some time trying to decide rather to buy the album or not but there came a point where I just couldn't take it anymore. So I went to the old Sound Wherehouse and brought this album and the other 3 items that I mentioned and they all ripped. I played the Metallica cassette single first. And than, I played this album and it blew me away. In other words, all hell broke loose.

Now for my review. This is the second album by the band as well as their second one on Roadrunner Records. This is the album that made me become a death metal fan and ever since its release, there hasn't been an album that could top its power. I mean this is an album that can destroy a whole city or cause a nuclear disaster of ignited radiation if played on a high leveled PA system. In other words, this is some really heavy, intense, extreme, all-out, powerful, assulting, intimidating, dominating, annihilating, punishing, unrelenting, uncompromising, apocalyptic, skull-crushing, brutal-as-hell, old school death metal officially created on endless truck loads of Stone Cold Steve Austin cans of whoop-a--. This is an album for fans of bands like Lamb Of God, Deathchains, Demented Ted, Hate Plow, Divine Empire, Nile, Brutality, Oppressor (Elements Of Corrosion), Resurrection (Embalmed Existence), Monstrosity (Imperial Doom and Millennium), Sinister (Cross The Styx, Diabolical Summoning and Savage Or Grace), Diabolic (Subterranial Magnitude) and an old Christian death metal band called Obliteration. Some of my favorite songs here are Eve Of The Apocalypse, Systematic Execution, Slaughter Of Innocence, Coronation Of Our Domain, No Flesh Shell Be Spared, Monster and Mindlock. WORDS OF WARNING: Before playing this album, make sure you're in an opened field with nothing around and have a costum-made body suite and helmet on because all hell is going to break loose. You've been warned.
