A power trio from Barysaw, Belarus, BLEEDING IGNORANCE was formed in 2013 and features Vitaliy Kitov (bass), Dmitry Orlov (vocals) and Pavel Kovalyov (guitar). These musicians are part of many other bands that extend into Russia but all focus on the most extreme limits of death metal, in this case brutal death metal.

The band has only released this one album IMAGE AND LIKENESS which came out in 2019. The album features eight tracks and is fairly short at 33 minutes. The band claims its music is for fans of Pyaemia, Suffocation and Cannibal Corpse and this album includes the Cannibal Corpse cover “Hammer Smashed Face” as the closing track.

Not much to say about this one as this is basically the text book case of generic brutal death metal with extremely fast tempos, blastbeats, brutal guitar riffing frenzies and extreme guttural growls that break into piggy squeals. There are no breaks on this one as it’s balls to the wall super speed all the way through. Unfortunately the album lacks any variations and any distinguishing uniqueness to set it apart from the gazillions of other bands that sound just like it.

Brutal death metal has to be the most difficult section of the death metal world to find a creative outlet since the style offers little room for variation but it does seem to attract those who attracted to speed above all else. I’m all on board with speed and incessant brutality but creative compositions go a long way. This one is just brutal death metal by numbers and has really nothing to offer anyone looking for something different. Average and mediocre at best.
