Just Fuck Off  (Suffering Jesus Productions)

 This last full length of this Anti Zionist Canadian Crust Black Metal act is a joint effort between Suffering Jesus Productions, Sabbathid Records and New Scream Industry. This third album and second release of the year, after “L'Appel du Neant” (demo tape under Harsh Brutal Cold Productions which include seven Ramones covers) continues the path of destruction of its previous album “Insignifiance”, that is to say early 80’s Punk Rock infused structures mixed with savage and cruel early Scandinavian Black Metal sound in the finest vein of Darkthrone’s “Transilvanian Hunger”, but this time the music of Malveillance seems to be slightly more crude and “evil” sounding, the Black Metal atmospheres reign over this album, and that becomes evident in tracks like the asphyxiating “Chagrinés et Misérables”, where the sharpened riffing is mixed with intense blast beats passages creating a black piece, worthy of any early 90’s Scandinavian Black Metal album. The crust-inspired drum bases are still there, providing aggressiveness, violent attitude and an interesting Thrash-like aura; just listen to tracks like “Extensive Slaughter” (this specific song reminded me a lot the sound of Mötorhead). This album consist in 22 tracks (!) clocked at 37 minutes, all songs are very short, ranging from 1.30 to 2 minutes long and seems to follow the same pattern, creating a sort of 37 minutes piece divided in 22 sick movements, but the music never falls into monotony, in fact, at least to me this album became really short. The production of “Just Fuck Off” is very raw, with a very blurry and messy sound, fitting with the dirty, aggressive and obscure concept, but maybe a slightly better production would improve the whole music. An interesting detail is that unlike the most of the one man Black Metal bands, Malveillance holds an entirely anti-misanthropic posture; in fact as the inlay cover says “this Just Fuck Off is dedicated to all the misanthropic losers holding this Cd”…quite unusual don’t you think? Anyway, this album is a potent slab of Crust tinged Black Metal worthy of attention, and if you enjoyed “Insignifiance” you will undoubtedly enjoy this release as well. (AP)
