STRONG MEN ON DRUGS, the 2005 debut of Canadian twosome Dechrist, featuring Maerk Asselin on Vocals, Guitars and Bass, and formerly Kataklysm drummer Martin Maurais, introduces us to a chaotic entity that both lyrically and musically reeks of destruction, pollution, decadence, simplicity and a relentless antagonism towards anything sane, moral and standard. This is not a recording you will totally digest nor understand at a first glance mostly because of the poor production that definitely is a huge turn off when it first starts blasting through your speakers, but once you get past that the listening gets less painful and dementia takes over. Their lyrics appear to be a mockery of junkies and all kinds of drugs and chemicals abuse that along with the eruptions of high-pitched screams mixed with guttural growls here and there throughout the four songs (The other four are instrumental versions of the same four) fit perfectly with the chaotic intention of their unmercifully aggressive and fast music which at moments give me the same feeling of hatred and desperation I get when listening to Kataklysm’s The Mystical gates of Reincarnation. They are corrosive and nasty in a mixed Sore Throat, Meat Shits and Fear Of God Grind Core kind of way but injected with a Rabaelliun and early Krisiun kind of approach. Dechrist are definitely not the most coherent, technical or well-produced band out there but they sure are a band with enough attitude and Death Grind to add a few more dead brain cells to the putrid brains of those about to rot.
