Blasting, grinding death that's suitable for activities such as being boiled alive is to be found on 'Zero Comfort Margin' as Circle Of Dead Children unleash a growling, gurgling vortex of ruthless metal annihilation. This band tears into songs like a tornado and their songs are for the most part short and to the point, opting for the quick kill. With titles like 'No Tears Fall Through Hollow Eye Sockets' and 'Strip Naked For The Killer', listeners should know exactly what they are in for.
Vocally, Joe Horvath squeals, barks and bellows his way through cuts like 'The System As The Master Deceiver' and the album's highly grueling title track like the grind champ that he is, his pig squeals being some of the most powerful out there. In terms of production, one could ask for a bit more thickness, but it's more than likely that the hollower sounding parts are deliberate, as the band does break into some grinding flurries that carry a substantial amount of weight.
A quality package on the whole, 'Zero Comfort Margin' offers appropriately insane visuals and complete lyrics as well. The major downfall is that the album rolls by rather quickly, but that's why fans buy competent grind CDs such as this, to play them over and over again. Hopefully, your disc player is up to the challenge.
