Six Reasons to Kill has a sound which is bred from the cancerous depths of death metal and metal/hardcore, an assault and corrosion of the senses which has been increasingly brutal and ravenous over the years. The German quintet calls it Darkside Metal and it is in full rabid force on the band’s new single, Rote Erde.
Formed in1999, The Koblenz hailing band has evolved and defined their raw and voracious sound across five albums as well as a handful of singles and split releases. Lyrically they have become 
just as imposing and uncompromising with themes of social issues, war, racism etc. fuelling their attacks. 2015 saw Six Reasons to Kill undergo a significant line-up change. It has not slowed them down though, instead it was an issue which has seemingly only opened another vat of malevolent intent and ferocity in their music if Rote Erde is the sign of things to come.
From its opening breath, the track is a wall of hellacious rhythms and wiry grooves for a murderous yet fiercely enticing welcome. In no time, the predator within is in control, bestial intent and intensity colluding with the incisively ravenous riffs and alluring hooks from guitarists Marco and Loc as well as the thick rabid rhythms of Christian and Sven. With Daniel’s insatiable growls and spleen venting animosity the instigator of even greater antipathy, ears are inescapable victims and the imagination, with the emotions, greed driven devourers of the corrosive treat.
The track leaves exhaustion and lustful reactions in its wake, confirmation that the changes have only inspired Six Reasons to Kill to new vicious treat and adventure, which in a different way continues in the accompanying Of Fire, a rousing cover of the Dismember track. The band has not fiddled with it in any big way but their fresh belt of creative savagery alone offers another appealing shade of hostility to the encounter as it completes a thoroughly enjoyable and bruising release.
Six Reasons to Kill are darker and fiercer than ever before yet it feels like they have only just begun exploring this new wealth of brutality. Should we rejoice or run in fear?
