For all that is possible within the realms of death metal, there are still a few corners and veins out there that are absolutely more extreme to the point that warrants a particular level of depravity to bring to life. Even for those that dare to go into that madness, few come out with material that is by any means compelling or interesting as all too often do bands go there to stand out with their extreme topics much like some edgy teenager looking for attention. Having been a bastion for such intensity since day one, Sacrofuck has been a true act of the deepest layers found within the underground with their sophomore album more than enough proof for that.
While I cannot speak for the lyrical content or themes of what’s brought forth in this record as Polish is far from the one language I do speak, the power of Sacrofuck is more than enough to get the message across in practically every given instance. The is real blasphemy and a level of depravity at work throughout the whole of this work that it is almost hard to gaze upon with it constantly overflowing with horrifying visages that are simply not meant for the weak, and Sacrofuck knows how to capitalize on such insanity at each turn. An eviscerating listen that holds nothing back and is always looking for the ultimate devastation be it in the form of distorted riffs or chaos-infused debauchery that seeks nothing but viscera and gore across the floor, “Święta Krew” is the kind of listen that can only exist in this corner of the underground. This is death metal that is after the very concept of innocence, leaving nothing on the table as it constantly and consistently goes for the throat in such a form that is fantastically compelling no matter which moment you find yourself in throughout the record. “Święta Krew” is far from anything new for the many different worlds of death metal, but what Sacrofuck has brought forth here cannot be denied for all that it dares to be in defiance of social norms and even the simple notion of decency something that has no place in the dark hallways that the record occupies. Where light itself does not venture, Sacrofuck clearly thrives.
No new ground needs to be broken within the underworld of death metal in order for it to be made clear that Sacrofuck has become a name to be feared with its craft honed to a deadly edge that is not surgical by any means. For all intents and purposes, it’s an edge that pulverizes and bludgeons. Nothing is meant to be pretty about “Święta Krew” as Sacrofuck makes it clear around every turn that they are a force not to be trifled with lest you find yourself turning into a bloody paste on the floor after a very slow, torturous process that yields naught but your screaming soul.
