HEINOUS KILLINGS: Hung With Barbwire


Released: 2006

From the sublime to the ridiculous. Yesterday I reviewed one of the greatest albums ever; today it's one of the worst. I knew this would be stupid before I even listened to it. Heinous Killings just about scrapes the barrell-bottom for ridiculous band names. "Barbwire" isn't even a word (it's "barbed wire") and the past tense of hang as in, to hang someone, is actually "hanged", not "hung". So the album title should be Hanged With Barbed Wire. But even if it had been called that, it wouldn't have stopped this being atrociously dumb and dumbly atrocious. Joe Wolfe used to be in a band called Clean Flesh, one of the worst bands ever. Heinous Killings is his solo project that rates as something even worse.

Wolfe has the most idiotic vocal approach of anyone in any band ever, including the parrot from Hatebeak and the dogs from Caninus, the song titles make Cannibal Corpse look like Shakespearean poetry and the music is muffled, talentless, one-dimensional garbage. This is why people think death metal is stupid.

I could shit on a guitar and then fart through a trumpet and still make a better album than this. When I reviewed this elsewhere a couple of years ago, I was accused of being a Slipknot fan who didn't understand death metal because I didn't like this, which just goes to show that even the most talentless idiot in the world can find a fan somewhere.
