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.

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

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!

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!

Total playing time    33:07

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.
