With the world teetering on the brink of absolute destruction, we all need these Canadian Brutal Death Metal heroes to save us all armed with the bowel-rupturing, cranium crushing brutality found in their new album.
With the world teetering on the brink of absolute destruction, what we need is a hero – or even better, four of them – and with serendipitous good fortune, out of the Great White North come Canadian secret agents of slam, the ruthless Brutal Death Metal ensemble Crème Flesh. Returning after the successful 2023 operation named Casablumpkin, the band formed of Matt Hilden on vocals, Sophokles Theodoru on the guitars, Rory Kennedy on bass, and Allen L. on drums is licensed to blast, brutalize and wield pornographic puns like deadly weapons in their sophomore installment, titled For Your Ass Only. Produced by Geoff Hodsman (Human Compost, Apegod) and adorned by the brilliant artwork by Krag (Paroxsihzem, Nuclearhammer), For Your Ass Only is a must-listen for fans of Devourment, Kraanium, Vulvectomy, and Korpse, presenting a sound that combines intimidating muscle and shocking clarity.
Field of Creams quickly morphs from a weird intro into a demented feast of slamming sounds where Matt’s gurgling guttural matches perfectly with Allen’s ruthless beats and fills; while in No Cunt for Old Men, which by the way uses the same sample as Werewolves in one of their most recent songs (and you’ll have to figure out which one by yourself, sorry), Sophokles delivers sheer madness through his axe in the name of Brutal Death Metal. There’s no time to breathe as they keep pounding our cranial skulls in Lake Flaccid, led by the vomiting roars by Matt, followed by the title-track For Your Ass Only, featuring guest vocalist Jack Christensen of Septic Congestion and Kraanium, a lecture in gore, violence, insanity and brutality. And The Gapes of Wrath sounds a bit uninspired and not as violent nor heavy as the rest of the album, albeit still presenting their trademark sound.
Then back to a more demented and ruthless sonority we face MILF of Magnesia, where Matt’s gruesome vocals walk hand in hand with the vile riffage by Sophokles and the metallic bass jabs by Rory; and Sleepless on Cialis displays a wicked name for a song, perfect for the current state of the world in 2026 when all is going to shit, and the music is just as demented as our current society (in special our so-called “leaders”). Jagged Little Penis presents another poetic name for a slamming feast of Brutal Death Metal, with Allen’s drums sounding like the madness blasted by Slipknot, while Scat’s Cradle invites us all to crush our damned skulls inside the pit while the band keeps pounding their instruments like true maniacs. Finally, we are crushed into tiny pieces to the sound of Whores of Perception, closing the album on a high note to the ape-like screeches by Matt.
In a nutshell, what Crème Flesh have to offer in For Your Ass Only is the epitome of modern-day Brutal Death Metal, an uncompromising, slamming feast not recommended for any type of puritan, but only to those who know how to have a good laugh even in a world of disgust. You can find those Canadian metallers on Facebook and on Instagram, stream their perverted brutality on any platform like Spotify, and of course put your putrid hands on the album by purchasing it from Comatose Music’s BandCamp or webstore. In the end, your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to survive the ten tracks of bowel-rupturing, cranium crushing brutality that is For Your Ass Only. Do you think you have what it takes to complete such a unique mission?
