If France ever wants to
dispel the ridiculous notion of "Freedom Fries", cease their being the brunt
of jokes by the US Secretary of Defense and generally gain global respect,
they'd be well-advised to have Arkhon Infaustus become ambassadors. Their
second full-length and follow up to 2000's "Hell Injection" is the epitome
of extreme metal, complete with shocking yet honest imagery. "Words of
Flesh" is driven by a furious tempo, and given a listenable factor by the
always catchy riffing of D.Deviant and Toxik.H, the former of which also
combines vocals with bassist/frontman 666Torturer to keep the sound fresh with
constant yet well-placed high/low variations. Arkhon Infaustus' mastery of
musically relevant feedback comes back in fine form on the following track;
this is a trait that few bands appreciate or utilize, and one that I find
quite enjoyable. "The Fifth Inquisitor" is a dynamic song with raging war
beats surmounted by a lethargic and rotten melody of the Immolation variety.
If asked to choose a favorite from the 8 offered on "Filth Catalyst",
"Criminal Deities" would likely be the one, as it seemed to best exemplify
the eclectic and savage appeal which this French quartet have so
professionally developed. One of the best albums this year.
