BOUND IN HUMAN FLESH started as a one man Black Death Metal project in Saint John, NB Canada, with Jamie Vautour as the sole member, in 1998. He recorded a self titled 4 song demo with Geoff Martin on vocals in 2001, but replaced him in 2002 with Rick Daigle for the recording of "Sick Lust For Revenge", which was released in early 2005 on Baphomet Records.

Daigle's vocals are true to his Black Metal roots keeping BOUND IN HUMAN FLESH within the genre, but the guitars are crossing the boundaries into speedy death. The use of drum programming also provides a Ministry type assault of melodic industrial speedmetal. The opening, "Becoming The Serpent", certainly would make Al Jorgensen get up and thrash and "Justified Terrorist" is a good mix of speed death/metal and pure black. "Bound In Human Flesh" is blazing fast but with melody and gets within the area of a KMFDM sound. Good, fast and tight. "Decapitate" is more melodic speed with awesome, brutal Black Metal vocals. "The Apocalypse", "Dark One", "Covered In Blood" and "Feel The Pain Of Death" are all a perfect mix of heavy, speedy, melodic death guitars and brutal Black vocals. "Horror" is more towards some good Canadian Black Metal and they finally grind it down a bit with "Possessed by Psychopaths". After such an awesome mix of metal styles coming together for this heavy speed attack, they end this all with an acoustic "Epidermologue" that just makes for a kind of twisted end to the onslaught.

If you never thought Black Metal, Death Metal and drum programming could make such a good mix, then pick this up and think again. It's awesome.
