Scotland is not really known for a lot of Brutal Death Metal acts as far as I can recall. All the more the band Iniquitous Savagery is a pleasant surprise. On their soon to be released MCD they perform sophisticated brutality full of high pace technicality, great riffing and groove parts. Sudden pace changes, blast parts shading off into groove ridden riffing like in the middle of the second track Cenotaph of Vituperation (that one really want to makes me dance). All fits very well together, the song writing is dynamic and always interesting. The vocals are just indulging. Low gutturals, disgusting gurgles, Disgorge/Gortuary like vocal styles. Good to hear there are still exellent vocalists around. Although I have sensed the sound to be a little bit metallic (I think it's the drums), the overall impression of this MCD pleases my ears. I highly anticipate their further work.

Great debut effort. Watch out for Iniquitous Savagery, they'll have a pleasant future in the Brutal Death Metal underground ahead of them. Support this great band and get their MCD on Grindethic.

Today my pre-order order of the new Terrordrome album "The Day of Sacrilege" arrived at my place. I have been a huge fan of their last full-lenght and was eager to get this new CD of theirs. The new Terrordrome record, however strange it might appear to fans of their last effort "Vehement Convulsion", might be a grower. They definitely changed their style into something more progressive and technical, yet precisely violent and brutal. Now, at first I was shocked of what I heard. I was halfway through the album for the first time and I really feared this could become an equally bitter disappointment as the latest Detrimentum album compared to their predecessing release. But after I spun this album about ten times I got hold of what is happening on this record I started to like what I heard. Dismal, playful guitar work and alternating rhythm patterns are being displaced by violent blast parts and your Vehement Convulsion-styled brutality. Things like rock-like guitar work chased by a blast attack of Wormed-styled sick guitar melodies in the final track is what makes this album so progressive. This record is a fine blend of alternating approaches to what is Death Metal. Technicality and weird guitar structures alternating with violent brutality, letting the musical skill of these guys undoubted. And this is what makes me like this record way more than I would have expected of me. The schizophrenia and disturbingness of this bastard is what keeps you interested in this album. I am definitely more the Vehement Convulsion type of Brutal Death fan. And although I had my doubts, this album grew into something interesting and absolutely woth listening to.

A record that leaves you confused, yet still satisfied in your hunger for brutality. Fascinating new approach.
