Prejudice. A crappy name. Expectations set low. Death metal ladies and gentleman. Really, really, really fast, brutal, technical death metal, with 203 parts per song, offered to me as being thrash metal. Too bad, for I had hoped I could broaden my thrash-metal knowledge with this album. Aside from all this, and me not being a death metal fan, I still kind of like Prejudice’s Dominion Of Chaos. It’s like Meshuggan-death metal.

Prejudice is a band from Belgium. They have been around since 1993 and this is their third full-length album. They have played alongside some of the bigger names in death metal, like Deeds Of Flesh, Hypocrisy, Dying Fetus, Six Feet Under and Vader, so they have a nice reputation.
The music is extremely brutal, violent and unrelenting. Guitars are of course tuned incredibly low, drums are (I think)quadruple-kicked with a bunch of blastbeats, the bass is inaudible and the vocals, well the vocals aren’t that great.

The singer’s grunt isn’t a very nice one to hear. It’s a bit hoarse. Not really to my liking, it’s tiring.
The album is varied. Of course the blastbeats and grunts always come back, but there is more. Like on songs 6, 8 and 9. Number 6: `Deconstructive Soul` has the most obvious Meshuggah-ingredient, number 8: `Resolved` has more diverse instrumental play, with great solo`s and a more consistent riff-line. The album-closer, `Remains` is quite original in its structures.
If you are into brutal technical hyper death metal, consisting of 27 riffs and drum rhythms per song, you will like this. It is impossible to be bored listening to this. The CD takes only half an hour, but that is just enough, because right at that point you grow tired of all the pace changes and maniacal grunts and drums.
