A gore-grind band that features members of Demoncy, Bell Witch, and Caustic Wound, will obviously have more depth than just being a lo-fi take on Cannibal Corpse like many of those bands are. There are the gurgled vocals that at times sound like a demon is being flushed down the toilet. Chaotic guitar solos appear as the riffs grind with a depraved stomp. The drumming is more blasty on the second song, but it still works ok as the song started with more of a groove. The vocals are a layer of gurgle rather than contributing lyrics you can understand. The production creates a very claustrophobic haunted house feel but instead of chainsaws the buzz of guitars is coming at you.
"Esscene of Disolution" rumbles with a purpose, that you can nod your head to. They do speed into a more blasted verse, Though the song does run together a bit at this juncture of the album. The eponymous title track hammers at you before the shambling riffs lurch out from the grime. The guitar solos remind me of early 80s death metal. For a doom drummer, he can bring the thunder on this song. It does slow into a cool angular dissonance that casts a creepy mood.
"Ripened Psychosis" is the most Cannibal Corpse-sounding song so far, as the verse riffs buzz with a similar tremolo-picked intensity. Midway into the song it slows to a more deliberate grind. Their song structures unfold with twists and turns as they do not just ride riffs for the bulk of the song. The last song pours from a primordial ooze, it gains momentum but does not get interesting until the 8-and-a-half-minute mark when it takes a more brooding break into ambiance. I will give this album a 9, though I am unsure how much I require something like this for listening as I normally go for Cannibal Corpse or Sanguissuggabog, when it comes to this sort of thing though fans of this corner of death metal will find this band does it better than most. Being released on 20 Buck Spin.
