The last studio effort of a fallen titan, Angelcorpse's The
Inexorable is nothing less than an extreme metal masterpiece. Enlisting the
amazing drummer Tony Laureano prior to this recording pushed the already
unmerciful sound of the band to dangerous reaches, suffocating the listener
with leagues of malevolent emotions. The floodgates open with "Stormgods
Unbound", a juggernaut of a song with endless blastbeats and impeccably clean
speed picking. Legendary overlord Pete Helmkamp rains down wisdom from his
flaming pulpit, speaking of Ghengis Khan, Friedrich Nietzsche and the occult
in a manner most impressive, not to mention flailing his bass guitar to
kindling throughout the 8 song experience. Things get chopped up a bit in
tracks like "Wolflust", and guitarist Gene Palubicki displays his creativity
on "Solar Wills" and solo proficiency on "Reaver". Angelcorpse was what
Morbid Angel could have been if they had chose to retain and develop their
ferocity rather than become the technical stalwarts that they are. Each
Angelcorpse song had something special about it: a riff, a drum break, a solo,
a vocal pattern…..You could hear their albums in your head without having
them in your ears, and you could feel the power of the band coursing through
your veins while they raged. It would be redundant for me to go on at length
about the lyrical brilliance of Helmkamp, but the fact remains that this is
what pushed them to the top of the heap for me. Angelcorpse may now only be a
fond memory, but their music is eternal and they went out with a thunderous
din.
