Metal Bulletin Zine: Criminal Element

Criminal Element is an extreme metal band from the U.S. You may be interested to know that it features two members of Suffocation: Derek Boyer and Terrance Hobbs. The lineup is completed by Vince Matthews and Maliq Emanuel. Vince Matthews is probably best known for his past work with Dying Fetus. It's not clear if it's meant to be a touring band or more of a project. In any case, this is not a new entity, actually. Metal Archives provides the following discography below. I am having problems finding much music on the Facebook or Soundcloud pages. They do have a link for ordering one of their albums, but the link seems to be inactive. Given this situation, and even though bands do not like this sort of thing, below you will find their most recent album in its entirety because someone posted it on YouTube. Due to the associations with Suffocation and Dying Fetus, it's reasonable that people may want to hear Criminal Element. At any rate, as you will be able to tell, this is upfront, no-nonsense headbanging metal, as you would totally expect, but the particular sound is not what some people would have guessed: there is quite a bit of thrashing riffs going on, making it music for immediate impact!
