Vehemence - Helping The World To See
	Vehemence have created another masterpiece with Helping the World to See. I had been anticipating these release for a while and had very high expectations. Needless to say, this record is far better than I had imagined and only sets the bar higher for their next release.      "By Your Bedside" is the opening track and is also the albums single. The video for this track looks totally DIY (smoke machine, janitor's closet and some rented strippers) but the bands performance is so amazing that you dont care. The emotion displayed in the singer's face while he bellows out those growls and seeing the bass player scream his guts out on the backing vocals are my favorite parts of the video, that and watching the drummer just go off during the blast beats.      Keep in mind that Vehemence arent your average death metal band. They have taken their love for all things metal and mixed them to create a unique sound of brutal/melodic death. Ultra heavy riffs transition into dancing guitar notes, a truly pummeling rhythm section dominates you then the vocals (always at the extreme end of things) sound off on some important topics not many other metal bands touch on.      Their last record God Was Created, was basically a concept album that told one long twisted story (involving Jesus, rape, incest and lots of violence) but this time around Vehemence talk about social issues such as war, religion, domestic life and the dysfunction of the modern family. I picked this CD up at Tower Records for around $11.00 and not only did I get 11 tracks of pure fucking metal, but the disc also comes with almost an hour of live/rehearsal footage from the band that can be watched on your computer.
