Sadistik Exekution was legendary in Australian metal circles, and one of the better known bands to come from down under. The band formed in 1986 and apparently gained a large following before even playing live or recording, due to the publicity stunts of co-founders Rok and Dave Slave. They recorded sporadically over the last fifteen years or so, with their albums reportedly all in a similar style (the one reviewed here is 1997's K.A.O.S.). Musically, Sadistic Exekution played a rather loose, messy, frenzied death metal, with some grind tendencies, though without the technical prowess of some of the better grind bands out there. It's all a bit much, with most songs pretty much the same speed and volume, the band really never coming up for air but instead content to rampage uncontrolled through their musical jungle. Those seeking subtlety, technicality, or diversity had better look elsewhere, but for those just looking for a mindless death bash might take to these guys. They broke up soon after their last album in 2004, and played a reunion gig in 2009.
