Artist: FUCKTORY-X
Album: Blood On Rust
Year: 2007

When Fucktory-X released their “Life Feeds On Blood” EP in 2005, I’d expected another industrial metal band from Italy that was highly influenced by Dope Stars Inc. What I found did really positively surprise me: this band was mixing death metal with industrial and ambient parts in a really original way. It was a pity for me that it was just a six track EP and not a full lenght, but Fucktory-X did not took a winter sleep and worked on the full lenght, which has came out now. “Blood On Rust” has ten new tracks to be discovered.

First of all, all the tracks are decently build and I don’t mind listening to them at all, but this band decided to reduce the industrial parts to an absolute minimum. This is of course a pity, because 1- on this webzine we review industrialized metal music and 2- the own characteristic style of this band is getting lost like this. Anyway, back to the album itself. It contains ten tracks of old school death metal, with quite a lot doom metal influences hearable. ‘Monsters of Light’ for example has a doom/death attitude, but after two and a half minutes, when the blastbeats are added, there’s some old school death metal stuff presented to us. On ‘Mallevs Maleficarvm’ this band manages to mix black metal guitarwork with death metal drums and vocals, while on ‘The Choice To Kill’ they used pretty much only black metal influences. The production of this album is the same as on ‘Life Feeds On Blood’, which means a heavy sound and vocals that could be a little louder. Since I am also a big fan of death metal, I really appreciate this album, but I should recommend fans of industrial metal to try out their ‘Life Feeds On Blood’ EP first.

Vote: 80 / 100
