Ad Hominem = Discharge + The Ascendant x Sektemtum
One must use caution when reviewing—let alone enjoying the shit out
of—an album whose first proper full song is titled “Go Ebola!” If this
album came out 13 years ago and my mom found it in my room, I’d still be
grounded to this day. Now that that’s out of the way: Fuck me, this
rocks. The songs weave punk and black metal riffs with militant samples,
chant-along choruses and breakneck speed into a blasphemous tapestry
that would make the most seasoned of metalheads cry tears of joy as if
they had just listened to Slayer for the first time in their lives. Each
song stands out memorably, but “Before You Turn Blue” is an unexpected
treat of slow, rock-influenced, doom-laden darkness. With Antitheist, Ad
Hominem have “reached the essence of [their] existence” with this
perfect abomination. Just make sure your mom/employer doesn’t find this
laying around. –Nuko Kapao
