The Turkey Monster, Dr. Bitch, the Mucous Spewing Lungslasher, Acid Dropping Satan, Lady Lunatic, and Worm Face, these are the characters that live in the world of BLOOD FREAK. "Multiplex Massacre" is the third installment of the BLOOD FREAK story and it is without a doubt Mr. Everything Maniac Neil's shining achievement. With lyrical and conceptual contributions from Razorback's own Billy Nocera, "Multiple Massacre" is every spatter thrashing, horror moving loving fan's bloody wet dream.

Yes, it's a been a little while since we've gotten a proper Razorback release, and what better way to get the ball rolling than with a thrashing beast like "Multiplex Massacre". Whereas the debut album "Sleaze Merchants" and follow-up "Live Fast, Die Young, and Leave a Flesh-Eating Corpse" are definitive Razorback gore thrashers releases in their own right, the Maniac has come into his own on the third long player. Performing a great mix of old school thrash with the requisite CARCASS-isms and more B-movie slashing than you can shake a stick at, this baby rocks like with abandon. Don't let that classic combination of growls and sneering, high-register vocals make you think that "Multiplex Massacre" is some kind of run-of-the-mill goregrind album either. This is filthy, vicious thrash metal with barely a hint of grindcore; a genre that many mistakenly assume defines the Razorback sound. Aside from the evil keyboard intro with a brief sample that is "Theme from Multiplex Massacre", the album consists of song after song of speeding hyper thrash. Whether you choose to delve into the very detailed and exceedingly well written stories or you prefer to revel in the music of every whiplash-inducing tune, "Multiplex Massacre" leaves one with a satisfied smile on the face and a lascivious twinkle in the eye. Only slowing occasionally, such as on the doomy riff that introduces the rip-roaring "Aerobicide", the disc is one wild ride. If you can't get your metallic groove on to catchy little nuggets like "Cleavage Cleaver", then you're beyond help.

If you're a long-time fan of Razorback trauma, then nothing will surprise you on "Multiplex Massacre", with the possible exception of how well Neil has turned vintage thrash and heavy metal into such a putrid milkshake of body parts. Just know that BLOOD FREAK can now stand proud alongside quality acts like GHOUL. Don't forget to clean up the mess when you're done.
