Everyone loves appropriate and offensive band names in the Metal industry and INBREEDING REDNECKS thought of the perfect one. Releasing their second album "Abnormal Life Portrayed" through Mighty Music the Danish Metalheads have something to prove after their great first album "Corpse Molesters".

But sadly it's disappointing, this sounds like standard Death Metal. If someone played this in the background at their house you wouldn't ask them who it was because you wouldn't notice the music because it's just boring. Though you can clearly understand the vocals clearly, the lyrics are very stereotypical of the genre and it brings no excitement. Another thing what has made the album bleak is the recording quality, compared to "Corpse Molesters" it sounds like it has been recorded in a garage, not that it's a bad thing (black metal bands normally sound that but they do it right) it's just a down grade from how good it was on the previous album.

"Wilted Flowers" shows how skilled the drummer Peter Michael Mathiesen is and how it can make a song a lot better, the guitar's sound very much like it has been extracted from the Deathcore genre. "Wilted Flowers" sound very much like a WHITECHAPEL song but with weak vocals. "Division Wreckage" has the strongest vocals overall. The most melodic track on the album overall, the riffs have good tone and the drums are perfect. The lyrical content is most fitting in the track. The best album of the track by far, it makes the others look very dismal.  "The Law Of Man Portrayed" is the closing track of the album, for no apparent reason this really sounds close to DETHKLOK. The guitars are excellent on this track with some memorable riffs, but nothing else really makes it good.

INBREEDING REDNECKS are a good band but they could have done a lot better with this album, if they got back to their roots maybe they could make a really big splash in the Death Metal genre.
