Indecent Excision (IT) - Deification of the Grotesque (2011)


Country: Italy (Bolzano, Trentino-Alto Adige)
Released on: Grindethic Records

Tracklist:

1. The Genesis Of Inhuman Brutality
2. Entwined By Vermin, Submerged By Vomit
3. Purulent Glansectomy
4. Torment Through Abnegation Of Euthanasia
5. Sculpture Of Severed Remnants
6. Deification Of The Grotesque
7. Compulsive Consumption Of Rotten Entrails
8. Decomposed Fetus Collection
9. Kaleidoscopic View Of Innards
10. Chickenfuck


Aww yeah. The Italian Brutal Deathers of Indecent Excision did a new album after their
brutal 2009 EP. Deification of the Grotesque is a massive, Brutal Death Metal assault with blast beat brutality and ultra heavy grooving and slamming parts. The vocals are just so sick and so ultra guttural it's a real pleasure to listen to the exellent vocal work. As said Indecent Excision isn't one of those slam only bands, they have really brutal and fast parts in there which really create a great dynamic sound.
I have to say that this album deserved a way better drum sound (or a better drum machine actually). This really is the little drop of bitterness in the album. As a whole this is such a great album you definitely have to get.

Albums and bands like this are the reason why the Italian BDM scene is one of the scene's with the highest quality of music on earth. A must.

Syphilic (USA) - A Composition of Murder (2011)


Country: USA (Detroit, Michigan)
Released on: Sevared Records

Tracklist:

1. A Composition of Murder I 01:45
2. A Composition of Murder II 02:26
3. A Composition of Murder III 03:17
4. A Composition of Murder IV 02:20
5. A Composition of Murder V 02:35
6. A Composition of Murder VI 04:50
7. A Composition of Murder VII 04:48
8. A Composition of Murder VIII 02:22
9. A Composition of Murder IX 02:30
10. A Composition of Murder X 03:05
11. A Composition of Murder XI 04:12
12. A Composition of Murder XII 02:44
36:54



So the new Syphilic came out and I've ordered it of course having real high expectations of this. The previous albums were great but with A Composition of Murder the dood really excelled himself. The album actually seems to be one 37 minute long song devided into twelve parts on the album itself. And composition is really the right word for the album, the dood (constantly forgetting his name) creates somewhat like a collage of everything what Syphilic stands for peppered with a huge amount of creativity, complexity and mere brutality. The guitar work is so unique and awesome you just hear that it's Syphilic in the moment the music kicks in. Chaotic, bit melodic guitar structures with blasting and diversified drumming, moments of silence with guitar only and the insanely guttural and deep as fuck vocal work which is just sick. This is what this album is in a nut shell. An album of enormous creativity, speed, pace changes and really sick gutturals.

His best album so far and something you don't want to miss.

Bloodboil (NL) - Festering Fornication (2006)

 
Country: Netherlands (Nederweert, Limburg)
Released on: Amputated Vein Records

1.     Covered in Mange     02:52    
2.     Purulent Mucus Remains     02:37

10.     Excreting Your Digested Meat     02:53    
      26:07    






















Great Brutal Death from the Netherlands. This is the last record they've made
back in 2006 and they still exist according to Metal Archives. Would be great
to hear some new stuff of them because this is really high quality Brutal Death.
High speed blasting BDM which sounds pretty US-style to me. The vocals
are deep and pretty much in the style of Pyaemia (also from the Netherlands).
The quality of the sound is very good, really enjoyed listening to this.
All in all perfectly executed Brutal Death which has got far too few attention.

Highly recommended underground stuff.

Stabwound (SWE) - Human Boundaries (2004)


Country: Sweden (Gothenburg)
Released on: Brutal Bands

Tracklist:
 
1.     Molding Through Sloth     02:07      
2.     Devouring Deficiency     03:02      
3.     Red Worms Erected     02:32    
4.     Facial Skin and Tissue Removal     02:59    
5.     Trans Gender Mutilation     03:41    
6.     Disgorging Pieces of Broken Glass     02:05    
7.     Divine Gluttony     03:02    
8.     Morgue Abductions     02:29    
9.     Unspeakable Perversions     02:36    
10.     Aqualung     02:38    
      27:11      

Legendary Brutal Death Metal band Stabwound are one of the very best of their kind from Sweden. On their 2004 record Human Boundaries they convince with furiously grooving Brutal Death (not so much slamming as Soils of Fate, more the groove BDM à la Dying Fetus) with incredible vocals and interesting song writing. The vocal work is just amazing and perfectly fits together with the ultra-groove music. The production is a bit muddy but still good. The Swedish scene isn't the biggest, but with pearls such as Degrade, Soils of Fate, Stabwound, Obscene and others it really built up a good reputation.

This absolutely is a must have for every BDM fan. Too sad the band broke up.

Limb from Limb (AU) - Rip him from his fucking Throne (2007)

 
Country: Australia (Brisbane/Sunshine Coast, Queensland & Murwillumbah, New South Wales)
Released on: Obsidian Records

Tracklist:

1.     Rise Of The Rotted     03:48    
2.     Hell Shall Be Thy Name     03:33    
3.     Delimbed By The Minions     04:54    
4.     Relentlessly Beheaded     01:58    
5.     A Lust To Burn     03:07    
6.     Crush All Things Living     02:24    
7.     Punish Prophecy     03:18    
8.     Man Shall Abolish     10:56    
      33:58

The fact that I didn't ever hear anything about those guys is another beautiful proof how immensely big the BDM underground is. So I guess I will never stop digging in the depths of the internet on my search for awesome music to recommend to you.
Limb from Limb create some awesome Brutal Death Metal on their 2007 release Rip him from his fucking Throne. Blasting brutality, wierd and dismal melodies in the guitars and really heavy deep as fuck growls, which are perfectly done mixed with some highs. Honestly, it is so refreshing to hear some awesome blasting Brutal Death with high speed, awesome vocals and great technique. There is way too much slam around these days (I like the style, but the focus is definitely too much on the slam).
The drums seem programmed to me, correct me if I'm wrong. That makes them sound a bit too mechanic. The production is good.
The last song is useless because it's just some atmospheric sounds with a bit of music in it. And that for ten minutes, which is a complete fail. But anyway, just skip that track and you've got an awesome Brutal Death release.
I've just read that these guys are currently busy with a new album (just about time after I'd say after 4 years of doing nothing). So stay tuned if you like this one.

Absolutely recommendable blasting piece of Brutal Death from Australia.

10. Mala Praxis 04:01
47:05

I just discovered this awesome old Brutal Death/Grind band from San Salvador, which was founded in 1993 and don't exist anymore now. The album mixes groove, grindish parts (especially the vocals with some Goregrind effects on them from time to time - I don't like that normally but here it's okay) and some really awesome riffing.
The production isn't that good but it sounds just dirty and awesome with it. I think the music has a subliminal old school touch to it which really rules. I think some of you maybe won't like this release as much as I do, but I don't know. I'm kind of in love with the whole sound and the band.

Anyway, if you like your Brutal Death with some Grind influences (the sound reminds me of Dying Fetus a bit) then you should buy (!) this (Google helps) and check it out.

4. The Hush After the Battle 04:06

7. Approach of the Enemy 04:51
8. Hellraiser (Motörhead Cover) 03:28
9. Solid State (Obituary Cover) 04:49
31:54

My newest recommendation for you is an exellent Russian underground BDM band called Membro Genitali Befurcator (took a while for me to learn the name).
Blasting BDM with a whole lot of grooving all over the album. The production is clear and nice to listen to. The vocals are kind of Abominable Putridity style, very deep growls. Very good job on the mic, but in my opinion the vocals could have been a smidge louder. The groove is really dancable and just wants you spin your dick around. Definitely something to listen to in your car.
They covered two tracks on the album, one is Hellraiser from Motörhead and one is Solid State from Obituary.
Both covers are pretty awesome especially the Hellraiser cover. It sounds like a BDM version of a Debauchery song. Brutal Death'n'roll man. That rules.

And again Russia flexes it's BDM muscles with another exellent underground act. What a great scene.

Putridity (ITA) - Degenerating Anthropophagical Euphoria (2011)


Country: Italy (Turin, Piedmont)
Released on: Willowtip

Tracklist:

1.     Cannibalistic Postclimax Flesh Consumption     02:38    
2.     Sodomize Epileptic Chunks     02:22    
3.     Masturbating the Infibulated     03:01    
4.     Syphilic Menstrual Rejection     02:37

8.     Draining Necro Anal Disgorgement     03:25    
9.     Living Decomposition     03:10    
      24:13     

Pissmaster is reviewing the new Putridity record? Uhm, yeah why not? Damn, their record is currently played about 130 times a week on lastfm. Is Pissmaster going overground now? Haha, yeah a lot of you probably heard about this master piece, but for those of you who haven't read this carefully.
This album is the best Brutal Death Metal album (together with Defeated Sanity - Chapters of Repugnance) I know.
Hyper blast beat and double base madness with super cool guitar work and just insane vocals create such an incredibly high intensity that you just want to jump around and want to freak out. Slams? Mid-tempo bullshitting? Long and boring samples? Fuck no! Putridity just destroy the place with this pure sonic Brutal Death Metal bomb. Their former album was pretty good but this is a real must have if you love BDM! Yeah the album is pretty short, but hey. I don't think that it's healthy to have a stiff one for longer than 30 minutes anyway.
If you read the review about this album on Metal Archives and don't think something like 'common you fuckin retard, go fuck yourself' or 'what the fuck man are you deaf?' then please reconsider if you really like this music or prefer to go listen some Hammerfall instead.

A must have. One of the best albums in BDM I know.

Bellum (CL) - Voluntad de Poder (2006)


Country: Chile (Santiago)
Released on: Tyrannus Records

Tracklist:

1.     Fallschirmjäger     03:46      
2.     Vencedores Jamás Vencidos     04:09      
3.     Panzertrüppen     04:54      
4.     Voluntad de Poder     06:45      
      19:34

Wow. Really stoked on this piece of high quality underground Brutal Death. Absolutely super album from Bellum, a BDM band from Chile. Blasting, brutal and skilled compositions. A tragedy, that such bands don't get the attention they deserve (see post below). Alright, the album is basically fast and blasting with a lot of pace changes and playful guitar work (not too much, so don't expect some Technical Death Metal epileptic stuff) and some dismal melodies here and there.The drumming is fine and blasting and the music is evidence of good musicianship. The production is suprisingly good and sounds just great. The vocals are deep growls like of some older US-Brutal Death band. Really great job on the mic. I love the song writing. Really a pleasure to listen to this CD. Hot underground stuff!

I've really been enjoying this since yesterday and ordered the CD right away (ebay). Great stuff and you have to check it out.

Concerning BDM: It's the same over and over again...not!

Several reviews on Metal Archives, blogs, reviews of some silly music journalists or wanna-be critics or  statements of people in general are constantly rattleing my cage. The statement that bands which don't invent something completely new or don't do something that hasn't been done before by another band, aren't good at all. Typical phrases of such people are: 'I didn't like that band because they just copied Suffocation/Devourment/or any other influental over ground band., or 'That band ain't good cause it's the same Chug, chug, grunt, grunt, squeal over and over again.'
I absolutely can't understand these people. Here is why. Discuss with me if you want.
The music I love the most is Brutal Death Metal and I love the music of bands that play this style. There is a huge underground which I like to discover with thousands of bands that create brutal and awesome music. And 99% of the bands have their very own and unique sound. Oh yes they do. Of course they are not inventing something completely new and yes they do sound similar to other bands of the genre but that's just because it is the same fucking genre. When I listen to a new band I've discovered I don't think about what they're doing new or adding to the BDM style because that's not what I want. I want Brutal Death Metal and I don't want some progressive bullshit in that because it's mostly so forced and just sounds awful. I like a band for the music they create and I don't constantly try to compare their music to a hand full of bands of which I think that they invented a fucking style of riffing or a vocal style and are legends in the scene. Actually a lot of these well-known bands are completely over-rated and dealt with as if they actually represented a whole genre.
Every band is different and to constantly dismiss the thousands of underground bands which create awesome music and create their very own Brutal Death sound (of course you won't hear that if you just listen to one song a couple of minutes and then just throw it away) just because you are too lazy to search it and just because you want some grand label to put the stuff in front of you and you want to listen to the same hand full of 'classic' records all the time, is something I never will understand.
People with this attitude are everything, but not supporters of the underground or even true music lovers.
They don't support the bands that may not be so known and may 'copy' another band but create awesome songs, but the ones that were the first to play a damn style and simply have better marketing schemes.
I oftenly prefer some underground band with 300 listeners on lastfm to Suffocation with 100.000 listeners on lastfm (just for comparison). Not because I don't like Suffocation but because I simple think that a certain band creates better songs and music than Suffocation (just an example).
I think it's time to be curious, listen closely to unknown sonic treasures that may exist and to support the underground for the underground is the blood of Brutal Death Metal.
Thank you.

Woundeep (JAP) - Weapons of Mass Protection (2005)


Country: Japan (Suginami-ku, Tokyo)
Released on: self-released

Tracklist:

1.     4 Religions, 7 Seas And The 9th Article     03:08    
2.     The Inevitable Is Here     02:49    
3.     Color Of Betrayal     03:29    
      09:26    

I want to introduce to you one of the best Brutal Death demos I've ever heard. Japanese Woundeep play top quality BDM with a super production and great song writing. The songs are full of blast beat brutality parts with some slower groove parts. The song writing is dynamic and interesting and so is the riffing. The drummer really does a good job. The vocals are brutal and deep as fuck. Really great job on the mic too. And this band has created one of the best Brutal Death Metal songs I know (!). Check out The Inevitable is Here. Immense blasting with abnormal screams and a groove or slam part which really gets you going. Just a perfect song. And a absoutely great demo all together.

This Demo is a must-have for lovers of high quality underground music.

Mortal Possession (GER) - Negate (2011)


Country: Germany (Kiel)
Released on: self-released

Tracklist:

1.) Incept   4:21
2.) Spun   3:37
3.) Violand   3:22
4.) Banefeeder   3:21
5.) The Lie of Being Me   4:15

Total playing time:   18:56

This is not so much Brutal Death Metal but more 'normal' Death Metal, but still brutal enough to be on this blog. Hailing from the north of Germany, Mortal Possession play brutal, technically good and fast Death Metal with cool song-writing and awesome riffing. Subliminal dismal melodies and the omnipresent hammering blast beats create a pleasant intensity. Some groove parts like in 'Banefeeder' and especially at the beginning of 'The Lie of Being Me' add extra dynamic to the music. The vocals are near to perfect brutal vocals reaching from standard deep Death Metal growls to agressive highs. The production is just awesome for a demo.

I am glad to recommend to you this outstanding demo and I hope you import some German quality. Really curious about a possible full-lenght of this band.

      12:43

Finally a new review. Been busy with vacation, computer games, working and other useless stuff instead of concerning with the most important thing on earth: Brutal Death Metal. This time I got some Swedish underground BDM for you. Sweden doesn't have the best scene but there are some really awesome bands though.
The demo 'Laceration of the Unborn' by Obscene has a lot of blasting brutality in it with some awesome slamming. The riffing sounds pretty much like old school Death Metal riffing which is cool with the slamming and the BDM vocals which are really awesome. The low growls and pig squeals are just pleasing my ears. The production is harsh but sounds cool and it contributes to the old schoolish riffing.
A real pity they split up, this Demo is so promesing and awesome.

You have to check this out. Great stuff!

Guts Outward (UA) - Unexpected Death (2009)


Country: Ukraine
Released on: guess self-released
Tracklist:

01 - Fucking Hope 1:10
02 - Confidence 1:48

One man blasting brutality Guts Outward from Ukraine show how immensely heavy as fuck slamming is done.
Incredibly awesome and sick vocals, heavy guitars, massive slams, blasting brutality and a sick production are the ingredients of Guts Outward. This demo consists of two songs and is merely 2:58 minutes long, but this guy seems to have a lot of talent. I'm very glad to see that he is currently recording an EP. Definitely looking forward to that.

Absolutely recommended heavy as fuck slam demo!

4.    Orgasmo Coprofílico    03:43   
5.    Cauterización Vaginal    03:57   
Total playing time    17:24

The south American Brutal Death scene has ever been active and interesting giving birth to a lot of exellent bands. Equador's Cefalophagia are on of these. Exellent Brutal Death done right, with awesome vocal work, interesting and cool song-writing and a decent production have convinced me that this band is worthy to be on this blog. Some ultra groovy slam parts (really great, check out the track 'Desgarramiento Anal' for an example) are sprinkled into the blasting brutality of the music.
Despite the awesome music this band still seems to be criminally underrated and doesn't get the attention it deserves (regarding the number of listeners on lastfm).

I am desperately waiting for a full-lenght of these guys. Absolutely recommended.

7.    Cadaveric Impregnation    05:17   
8.    Fetal Suffocation    00:57   
Total playing time    28:39

Although I would regard this as a classic and a perfect Brutal Death album I still wonder, why such bands get so few attention by the scene. Seems that people are just so lazy to search for the awesome stuff. Released in 1999 this stuff still slays and is an example for outstanding Brutal Death done right. Awesome deep as fuck growls and some high screams accompanied by both blasting parts and groove filled parts together with the production create a nice old school US Brutal Death atmosphere. The riffing and the songwriting are pure awesomeness and really show how great this band is. I'm really looking forward to their new release 'Clitoraldectomy' to arrive at my place.

Anyway, enough said, if you like Brutal Death get this great album and offer this band the attention they deserve.

Finally listened to this awesome release again after a long time. Columbia is one of the hot spots in the global Brutal Death buisness and Goreobscenity are one of the really outstanding acts of the scene.
This is one of the very early bands in Brutal Death I've listened to and really love. I just love everything about this release. The vocals kick ass and are sick as fuck. They reach from growls to pig squeals and all kinds of insane guttural sounds. The music has blast beat massacre (really fast) parts and awesome slamming and one thing I find very characteristic and unique about this band. A kind of beat that sounds so much like a steam driven train, just kicks ass. The song writing is just awesome I love every song on the album. The intros are useless as always, but one is really outstanding in its brutality, the intro of 'Decapitating Corpses'. Just check that out for yourself.
This band has got far too less attention in my view.

After all this time I've listened to Brutal Death now, this is still one of my all time favourite bands. Absoluteley a must.

11.    Atheist    03:20 
Total playing time    33:35

I think I've never heard of any Vietnamese Brutal Death bands. Anyway, the album starts with an awesome blast beat massacre, really a good way to start an album. The music is basically straight forward BDM with vocals that constantly remind me of Wounds of Christ or The Macabre. I really like the vocals which are mostly pig squeals with some decent highs. They somehow create a unique sound.
The drumming is damn fast and really awesome. The production is pretty good for such a band I'd say.
I think that Disgusted do a good job and they all know how to play their insturments. The intros of the songs are very funny in my opinion, not too long though. I really had to giggle when I heard the fart concert opening the song 'Shit Storm'. Just hilarious.
The song writing could be a smidge better here and there, but anyway they deliver a constant level of brutality and have some really awesome riffing in some songs.

All in all this is still a recommendable release, which somehow caught my attention. I like it.

Carnal Disfigurement (CZE) - Inhuman Devoured Content From Cranial Cavity (2011)

 
Country: Czech Republic (Náchod/Hradec Králové)
Released on: Inherited Suffering Records

Tracklist:

1.    Decrepit Pyemesis       
2.    The Art of Sadistic Body Examination       
3.    Depth of Perverse Depravity       
4.    Butchered Maggoty Face       
5.    Ulcerative Helminthemesis       
6.    Cadaveric Stench of Infecting Population       
7.    Degenerating Cerebral Impulses       
8.    Dismembered Human Filet

Finally recieved the new album of the Czech Brutal Deathers of Cerebral Disfigurement after a production delay due to manufactoring problems. But hey, finally it's here. Tuned it in and baaam. The slamming guttural sickness is released! Uuuuuultra heavy slamming here, fat brutal as fuck guitar sound and inhumane, insane and perfectly done guttural vocals! This stuff is so heavy if you tune this in in your car you'd destroy the whole place and feel damn awesome. Some blasting parts are sprinkled in here and there, but this is actually 100% pure Slam BDM. Reminds me a bit of Extermination Dismemberment from Belarus, but I'd say that this is better.
You have to check out the song "Butchered Maggoty Face". The explosions with the slamming is just insane!   
Only sad things are that they use a drum machine, but the drum sound is pretty okay, I'd say although a drummer would have sounded more organic.Plus the track "Degenerating Cerebral Impulses" is just some atmospheric shit intro stuff. Worthless for the album, they should have left that one off the album. Plus the album is just 20 minutes long (not gonna count in the useless atmospheric track).

Anyway a must have release for any fan of Slam and Brutal Death in general!

Wargore (IT) - Decadence of Benevolence (2003)


Country:
Released on: Permeated Records
Tracklist:

 1.    The Art of Dismemberment    06:12  
2.    Brutally Mutilated    02:04  
3.    The Odour of Death    04:25  
4.    Decadence of Benevolence    03:14

6.    Terrormass    04:42  
7.    Coccode Grinder    03:10  
Total playing time    27:18

Italy has some huge BDM acts to offer. And Wargore is one of them. Totally awesome guttural vocals. Almost only low guttural growls. Some vocal parts have this wild flutter in it and go along with the blast beats, which creates a very grindish sound. The songwriting is skilled and interesting and doesn't get boring. The music is mostly fast with some mid tempo parts. Tempo changes add dynamic to the music. There are one or two slam parts on the record, but they concentrate more on the blasting parts.

All in all a highly recommendable Brutal Death release. Amazing how Italy has developed to a country offering highly remarkable Brutal Death acts.

Castrensis (DK) - Brutal Discipline (EP) (2011)


 Country: Denmark
Released on: have no clue
Tracklist:

1 Brutal Discipline 3:04
2 Grotesque Deliverance 2:57
3 Simulating the Living 3:00
4 Devoured by Clay 3:23
5 Slaves to a Black Sun 3:08

Damn! My newest discovery! Awesome Brutal Death from Denmark. And they're not even on Metalarchives.
Awesome vocals here! Perfect guttural growls, pig squeals all kind of awesome styles (some awesome highs, too but not too much just right).
Great song writing, brutal all the way, pace changes from mid tempo sickness to fast double base and blast beat massacres. Incredible that these guys have gotten sooo few attention (check lastfm for an impression). Guitars are pretty technical, but not over the top. Just right.
Oh man I'm really stoked by this! God damit! Great!

Really hot stuff! And apparently so unknown.
A must!

Total playing time    28:31
 
There are a lot of awesome Russian Brutal Death bands and Fleshbomb is one of them.
The great vocals on this record reach from standard growls to dull Disgorge (USA) like deep growls.
There are a lot of blasting parts and mid tempo parts creating a nice old schoolish sound. On the other hand the deep growls somehow add a modern touch to the music. The songwriting is great. The samples are unnecessary although they are not too long.

All in all a great piece of Brutal Death Metal, definitely worth a listen.

Wow! This band hailing from France really surprised me. Awesome Brutal Death gutturals with blasting and really great music. The production is very good for a demo, the musicians seem pretty skilled.
Almost unbelievable that this is their first demo, they really sound like they were in the buisness for a couple of years, also because of the versed songwriting.

Really recommended! Awesome stuff!

And another Brazilan underground act! Perfect Brutal Death vocals here, low growls and pig squeals and few very good highs. Absolutely skilled vocalist. The songwriting is okay, but could be a smidge more dynamic.
Unfortunately this record is just about nine minutes long (I reject to count in the useless intro) but the music is still great. Actually surprising for me that there are such good Brazilian bands.

Really enjoyable stuff especially the vocals are the shit!

First take a look at that sick album cover. Haha, damn brutal and the music is, too. These Brazilian fuckers have really low brutal growls and various guttral sounds and few high screams in the vocals. I think the deep ones are really awesome. The music is mostly pretty fast and blasting with some dismal riffing here and there.
The band creates a really good brutal sound and the production is pretty well made, I don't think that a lot of Brazilian underground acts have such a production. The song writing is skilled and the music is very enjoyable.

Further, there's not much to say about this release. Really cool Brutal Death, absolutely worth a try.

Total playing time    35:47

There's been some controversy about this album of the Nicaraguan sickos Gorepoflesh on some blogs I've been on. I think this album is a really really sick release and I mean literally sick.
First the vocals. They are just so guttural and sick, it's a real pleasure to listen to them (comparable to Condemned/Cephalotripsy). The tempo alters from really fast blasting parts (nice drumming!) to slams (heavy shit). I love the hard sound of the drums a lot. You have to listen closely sometimes to hear the riffs in the guitar sound, but it's still awesome and it gets pretty fast oftenly. I think a major factor for the controversy about the album is the production. But hey! I've hardly ever heard an album to which shitty production added so much awesomeness and sickness. The sound of the entire record is just inhumane and not of this world. This shit is literally disturbing, because it sounds so sick and twisted!

Regardless or even because of the production this album is sick shit! I really love it.

Total playing time    33:32

This is a hot Brutal Death tip. The vocals alter from low growls to really high and sick pig squeals. The song writing is awesome. There are groovy slammish parts with a Dying Fetus styled riffing, but fast blasting a lot, too. This record somehow has a nice old school touch to it although especially the vocals make it more modern at the same time. The production is pretty harsh, contributing to the old schoolish sound.
Anyway, I'd love to see them reunite and release something like this again (this exellent record was actually their debut). I've recognized a lot of people really adoring this record (lastfm and my circle of friends) and so do I.

This is a really awesome Brutal Death release with everything a brutal head needs.

Blasphtized (UK) - Demo 2008 (2008)



Country: United Kingdom (London, Croydon)
Released on: self released

Tracklist:

1. Inseminating The Virginal Flesh 04:83
2. Brazen Debauchery 04:17
3. John The Blasphtist 04:12
Total playing time: 13:07

Another promising Brutal Death demo from the English band Blasphitized. There are really heavy slams and a very skilled vocalist on the mic. The vocals are pretty sick and well made pig squeals and low gutturals, so quite typical slam vocals. There are just a few high speed parts most of the music is mid-tempo to slow slams.
The riffing is typical slam riffing with this wierd very high guitar sound sprinkled in sometimes (don't know what that is called), which sounds pretty sick.
Regarding that this is a demo the production is quite good. Think these guys are going to be really awesome on a better produced full-lenght album.

So if you are into Slam, these guys are just right!

This record is a very old skulish sounding piece of Brutal Death Metal especially because of the muddy production, which lets it sound a bit like Regurgitation (USA). The vocals are really awesome growls and pig sqeuals. The band was founded in 1992 and the riffing reminds me of Dying Fetus a bit. There are a lot of slam parts in the songs alternating with blasting parts. The music has an awesome groove and the songwriting is cool. I'd really recommend this to you, I really love this band.

I like this record a lot because of it's muddy and harsh sound, the groove and the awesome vocals.

This is my favourite Deathgrind album ever! I think some of you might not know them, yet so I added them here. This albums is a furious mixture of Brutal Death and a nice bunch of Grindcore. First the vocals: they are simply inhuman and I have hardly ever heard something comparable to this. Massive deep and evil growls and really sick gutturals alternate with insane high screams. And all that presented at a level of intensity harmonizing with the insanely blasting brutality of the music and the pounding slammish mid-tempo parts.
The drumming is tight and extremely fast mostly. The music has a nice amount of groove, regularly cut off by an insane blast beat massacre. The guitars are deep and brutal as fuck.
This album has so much emotion in it, it is so passionate and vital.
Additionally to all these great features the production has high quality. Only downer with this record is that it's really short. Thus, when you've listened through this beast you are going to feel like you were a girl pitying the fact that the dick of your beloved boyfriend was slowly gliding out of your fucking pussy after an immensely hard and nasty quickie.

If you like BDM and don't mind a nice portion of Grindcore you will jizz in your pants when you listen to this grinding BDM massacre!

This is really hot stuff! Very intense Brutal Death with incredible vocals. Really brutal low growls and pig squeals mixed with fewer insane highs. I'd even compare the intensity of the vocals and the music to Nervous Impulse (CAN, best Deathgrind band I ever got to know). I'm not comparing these two bands musically just regarding their intensity (Organ Harvest is BDM, not Deathgrind). Only thing that misses to get so far is that the quality of the production represses the energy of it a smidge. The speed reaches from really devastating slam to MG42 parts. The seesaw in the tempo is just awesome and really gets me going.

I'd really love to see this band get started again and release something with the best production quality possible. This release is just great.

The vocals on this brand new Gorgasm release are pretty classic deep Death Metal growling done right. Nevertheless I'd like to hear some more extreme vocal styles.
The speed of the music is pretty high with several really crushing slamming parts (love the changes of the tempo; a slam part is suddenly dissolved by a brutal machine gun part). The guitar work is fast, the drumming is tight and blasting. I really like the sound of the drums. Some melodic soli are sprinkled into the intense high speed riffing. Most of the samples used are needless in my opinion and annoying (that really depends on if you like this horror sample stuff). Fortunately they are not too long mostly.
The production is clear and is at good as it gets in the genre.

All in all a pretty intense Brutal Death album, definitely worth the money.

The vocalist is skilled, the drumming is tight and is really fast partly, and the riffing is cool. The vocals remind me of Fumes of Decay, so basically pig squeelish growls with few high screams (not too much, not annoying).
The riffing goes all over the place and has some heavy slammish parts also. Some dismal melodies appear here and there, but not too much.
The tempo alternates from mid tempo parts to fast blasting parts.
The production is clear and good.

The CD is pretty short indeed, but what you get is 15 minutes of pretty awesome high quality Brutal Death Metal.
