Unmerciful
Unmerciful formed in 2001, released a debut album in 2006, and then
went a decade before their second album,
Ravenous Impulse, came out
in 2016.
The current lineup has several ties to another Topeka band in
Origin,
as both guitarists and drummer John Longstreth have served time there
over the years.
And similar to that band, the focus on
Ravenous Impulse is
brutal technical death metal.
It's intense, ferocious, perhaps a bit samey from one song
to the next, but pounding and unrelenting all the same.
Special kudos to the insane drumwork of Longstreth -- he's long since
proven his meddle and here he's almost a nonstop blast beat machine.
Though by no means retro, this style of death really harkens back to a
decade or more previous, and that's not a bad thing.
