Rating: 4.0/5
Reviewer: Lord of the Wasteland

This could very well be the heaviest album I have ever heard. KILL.FUCKING.EVERYONE is the second release from Boston’s Watchmaker and the follow-up to 2002’s KILL.CRUSH.DESTROY. Terrorizer Magazine named Watchmaker one of the best bands of 2002 and this new CD shows how they earned that honor. The 19 songs on KILL.FUCKING.EVERYONE are so devastatingly brutal that it’s almost hard to comprehend. Their music is grindcore-based and most of the songs are under two minutes in length (the entire CD is barely a half hour long). The music is mean, ugly and played without much effort given towards precision. Songs have almost no defined structure and are played at such blinding speed that by the end of the CD, I actually said, “What the fuck was that?!?”.



The song titles are cryptic and wordy, but also brilliant (“Conference Call Immolation”, “Wallet Sized Dental Records”). The album cover really jumped out at me with a sea of skulls impaled on rifle bayonets. One listen to KILL.FUCKING.EVERYONE and you’re head will feel the same. What could be the band’s credo is quoted on the back cover of the CD: “Kill every dog, every cat . . . Kill every mouse, every bird. Kill every fish. Anyone objects, kill them too.” Watchmaker is one of the finest bands on the extreme metal scene and this CD is one of the best of 2003.
