Surprisingly great
Although I generally avoid anything remotely Black Metal for both stylistic and ideological reasons, I decided to take a chance on this "Meads go anarcho-punk!" release. Blimey, was it worth it. The Crass meets Discharge artwork sets the tone for a stunning collision of extreme metal and extreme punk. Each track is unique. One could say "My Beautiful Genocide" sounds like Rudimentary Peni meets ENT meets Anaal Nathrakk, or "A baptism..." is Dimmu Borgir gatecrashing Conflict's Conclusion lp, but that would be selling each tune short. The synth heavy nigh on operatic "Man Who Killed For God" is another unexpected twist. We also get a Discharge medley (DISCHARGE! DISCHARGE!), and finish up with "Aborted Stygian Foetus", a cracking industrial tune which wouldn't sound out of place on a Front 242 lp. Remember, the Meads also wear chainmail and carry broadswords. Fantastic. If you are a fan of any kind of extreme music, check this out.

**** The Meads of Asphodel ****
In the name of God, Welcome to planet Genocide is the 6th release by The Meads, being of the same subject matter and concept of `Damascus Steel' this EP comes blazing on (after Psalm 364 intro) with the first track `My Beautiful Genocide' which is one of the catchiest Meads songs I've ever heard and the EP and from then on does not disappoint. My next favourite is `The Man who Killed for God' which is a pretty chilled out track featuring some nice female vocals. There's also a Discharge cover of `Hell on Earth/Blood Runs Red'.
As expected there is also collaboration with the Meads's network of friends, appearances of Alan Davey (Hawkwind), Mirai (Sigh), as well as others have nearly become as much a part of the band as the band themselves Metatron - Vocals, J.D. Tait - Guitars & Backing Vocals, & Urakbarameel - Drumms & Percussion. But it all helps forge the eclectic and multi-layered sound of the Meads of Asphodel that we know and love.
