This is fucking amazing. Im tempted to leave this review at that, but I just wouldnt be doing it justice. Lets put it simply Fan of Agoraphobic Nosebleed or the Berzerker? Buy this. Iron Monkey? Buy this. Heavy music in general? Buy this. Ambient/Drone? Buy this. Fancy a combination of all of the above? FUCK YES.
Despite being furnished with no packaging or tracklisitng, you almost feel that songtitles and pictures would simply distract you from a record that is pushing heavy music in new and twisted directions. It really is that vital. Imagine the scariest film soundtrack you have ever heard, and mix in short (often no longer than 50 seconds) bursts of drum machine fuelled grind-sludge-core insanity and you are about halfway to understanding the intensity and pure nihilistic vision of this concise, 25 minute long, record.
I really feel like I can say no more. If I could go up to every record buyer in the country and swap whatever shit they have in their hands for this at the till then I would. YOU. NEED. TO. HEAR. THIS.

PHANTOM LIMB MANAGEMENT
'Lets Talk About You'
The UK grind scene is arguably at its strongest and most creative since the heydays of the late 80's with the likes of thekevorkiansolution, narcosis, army of flying robots and tangaroa not content to simply knock your ears for six but also to stretch and tear at the boundaries. Phantom Limb Management can be added to that list and although information is somewhat scarce, they hail from Nottingham and indebted to iron monkey, if not in sound then certainly in attitude, and not least because this is released on the label JP Morrow formed before he died. Their debut album mixes one extreme with the other: Its either soothing ambient drone or all attacking drum machine frenzy in the style of agoraphobic nosebleed. The 11 songs segue into one long 25 minute piece, first caressing then striking out with seemingly random bursts of mindless violence which are gone as fast as they arrived. Dangerous and unpredictable, Phantom Limb Management are making grindcore scary once more. (8.5) Terrorizer................................................................................................................................................................................PHANTOM LIMB MANAGEMENT have an eye-catching name and musically they are pretty hard to miss too. They inter-cut the most stereotypical hardcore sound with surreal sounding chants, School of sin being one of the most messed songs I have heard in a while.
They have odd sounds that could be reminiscent of alien landing act as an intro to 3 second stabs, then move into a weird guitar part, then alien sounds then scary vocals still with the alien sounds as a background beneath the music.
Commercially Phantom Limb Management must be their record companys worst nightmare. They cant be pigeon-holed in any genre; they use the most random of samples to the point where it is hard to tell whether the song is constructed around the samples or whether the band thought it would be funny to have people attempt to second guess them.
Four door fist could be an atmospheric track on an intelligent and suspenseful horror movie, but then so could most of the album. I first heard it in a house empty except for myself and with only a spotlight on; it nearly gave me nightmares, in a good way.
Rating: 10.00/10.00 Entertainment Death
