Review Summary: Ingested performed this EP amazingly, mashing together misanthropic lyrics and vile vocals with the Slams they are known for.
Ingested has been around for a while, creating disturbing music while adding in Slams. Of course, the release of The Surreption was one of their selling points to me. I didn't get into Surpassing the Boundaries of Human Suffering until recently, and now I love it. So when Revered By No One, Feared By All was released, I had hopes of a StBoHS mixed with The Surreption. To be honest, we didn't really get that, but their new style is greatly appreciated anyways.
Overall, the EP is filled with Jason Evans screaming about how you're just a nuisance to the eradication of the human race. Of course, even though he's screaming way more than before, he still brings in his gutturals. The lyrical content is misanthropic, speaking about how a child became basically death incarnate. He grew up after being subjected to hate and became the definition of mass extinction. The rhymes in this whole album are actually well-placed and performed. It's like taking a ton of words that rhyme, and creating the most hateful verses with all of them. Basically, it's amazing.
The guitars are a lot like The Surreption with a bit more bite. The Slams are a lot better than the ones that randomly appeared in The Surreption, but they obviously weren't anything to StBoHS. Bringing the atmosphere of annihilation, the guitars provide the image necessary without knowing the lyrics.
The drums obviously are filled with massive amount of kick. There are blast beats, but not as many as StBoHS, so if you really get sold on the blasts, it might not be the best for you. It compliments the Slams, and it brings a chaotic rhythm to destroy your ear drums.
So, in short, Ingested is amazing. The only reason I didn't give the album a 5 was due to the fact that sometimes it felt a little excessive. The lyrics were amazing, yet they were missing something. I also was still hoping for a bit more StBoHS type influences, but beggars can't be choosers. Especially not when they're releasing the Architect of Extinction early next year!
