One of the best band ever to hit the brutal death metal scene nowadays. Hailing from Malta, along with Beheaded, these killers perform extremely. Released under Brutal Bands last March 2005. Guitars are well executed, their riffs are catchy and groovy, drums has massive pounding, in other words sick as fuck. Bass performance is great, it has its solo parts on track no.5 (Grotesquely Maimed and Cranially Disfigured). With two vocals guttering, this album's recording was good and well-balanced except for the vocals, they are kinda bit low on the volume. But if you're digging up this shit, please try to check this out.

Abysmal Torment - Epoch Of Methodic Carnage
The most anticipated release this year, 2006. This is the 2nd operation of these Maltese death grind maniacs! A great follow up to their Incised Wound Suicide mcd which re-released by the same label of this album Brutal Bands. If I will compare this album to their 1st mcd, it�s almost the same. I mean the velocity and intensity of the music are still there, enclosed by unmerciful blasting drums, razor sharp heavy guitars and great dual vocals that taking this band to the next level of extremity. The song structure is intelligently performed. You can find some tight moshing elements and killer breakdowns here! Also the cd artwork is fuckn' rule, done by Tony Koehl! This cd is really crushing! I�ve got nothing more to add! Grab it or die! - Gee

Artery Eruption - Gouging Out Eyes of Mutilated Infants
This 3 Piece out of Cali are back with more horrid, goresoaked album than their previous ejaculation. These fuckers play some sick ultra guttural slam death musick! That just mutilate your ears all through out. "Gouging Out Eyes of Mutilated Infants" have lot of progress if i take a cumparison to their previous ejaculations sound to musickal direction, they're not just playing brutal death metal in vein of Devourment but also bringing a pure essence of extremity throught the riffs(shitloads of slams and breakdowns), Drums(more hyperblasting on this one!) and utterly sick sounding gutturals and crickets,which happens to be my favorite part of this CD! Its quite clear that they have a good ear for writing some sick perverted and captivating tunes. The band spew their way through 8 songs in a little more than 32:25 mins.. This is pure Slamming Brutality from start to finish!
More than recumended!

Asphyxiate � The Process Of Mutilation
One of sickest death metal band hailing from Indonesia called Asphyxiate. This album was originally released by Indonesian label called Undying Music in a tape format. I don�t know if that label still exists. This album is re-released by Italian label called Despise The Sun Records, with new sick cover art by Chris Moyen and re-mixed/re-mastered sound! The songs are quite fast and brutal. Suffocation, and Disgorge US mainly influenced them in my view. With rapid blast drumming, shredding riffs and deep sick vocals.. The bass and drums are tight and heavy. I really dig the sound of the snare and the kick! Also the guitars are crunchy and well mixed. The vocals on the other hand are quite sick, not that varied or switching into different approach. Kinda standard death metal way but it really fits into their music. This cd contains 11 tracks and running over 20 minutes. If you are into Suffocation, Disgorge US etc... Don�t miss this one!

Bloodsoaked - Brutally Butchered
Stop thinking about fancy intros, samples and other gimmicks as there is none! This is a Death Metal without compromises, with an alerted and fast rhythm. Throughout the 31 minutes of butchery, you don’t get a chance to get bored because Peter (Shit yes! this is a one man band, drum machine brutality!) knows how to attract your attention. Even if this shit isn’t an original musick, the sincerity of the band is to be respected. The guitar riffs go from old school, Cannibal Corpse and Suffocation style! I loved this shit because im a huge fan of both! The artwork is done by Tony Koehl, symbolizing perfectly the whole concept behind the album title. Bloodsoaked fuckin owns! I've got nothing more to add. Oh btw, He is now signed to Comatose music. Get this one!- Jamie

Cephalotripsy - Uterovaginal Insertion of Extirpated Anomalies
You have no idea how anxious i was to be getting this cd! The wait was definitely worth it. The Band has progressed since i last heard their musick. Uterovaginal Insertion of Extirpated Anomalies is one of the best releases of 2006! The musick is Ultra Guttural Brutal Death Metal. Utter slamming brutality from start to finish! This album won’t disappoint. Mandatory listening for everyone!- Jamie

Chainsaw Surgery - Chainsaw Surgical Disfigurement [demo]
This demo contains 4 songs with total playing time of 09:30 minutes armed with brutal skin poundings, Heavy riffage, Bludgeoning bass and utterly sickening gutturals! Each song counts with a great musickal structure that shows us diverse hints, passing by fast parts until neck breaking groovy riffs.
Justin [Drummer] is a very good motherfucker and his playing style is very tight! He blast with no problem and his double bass sounds heavy as fuck! [This happens to be my favorite part of this CD]
Robert vokills are ranging from low gutturals and stomach turning gurgles [This time, the vocals cums out naturally, no fucking vocal effects! great!]
But four songs are too short!!! I would prefer a longer release to form a better opinion. =) To sum it up, this is a very promising demo, definitely worth checking out! Looking forward for "Abdominal Purulency" to be release on Redrum Records later this year.- Jamie

Condemned (Ph) - Armed Conflict
This CD features 15 tracks of alcohol induced grindcore. Musically they should easily appeal
to all fuckers who would enjoy ejaculating on the hymns of Phobia in cumbination with several other elements of Nasum and Anal Cunt. The vocals are vomited forth in two different ways, Deep grunts and the other one spew out some really sick pig squeal! Definitely not for the people into clear sounding or technical musick. Just Pure Fuckin incarnate Grind/Noise annihilation!

Condemned (Ph)- ...To suffering
100% (proof) alcohol-induced grind core straight in your face!! These drunken bastards denigrates escaped their lunatic asylum to mince and inflict pain to their listeners. The band caters 51 tracks of raw, fast and violent grind. The sound quality on this CD is pretty rough but it still kicks a lot of big hairy weak asses! Vocal are repulsive, made up of entrails vomiting grunts and the other one is really disturbing pig squeal! (Great!!) The cover art incorporates well the lyrical perception (there are no lyrics on the booklet, but judging on their song titles. they're into political stuff and other social concerns :) This is definitely a depraved album that is guaranteed to fuck you up! Oh btw, this one is limited, 200 copies I guess. So you better act fast!- Jamie

Condemned - Desecrate the Vile
California based with TXDM influences. Condemned are no new comers to the scene. They we're founded in April of 2004 and one year later, their demo "Mass Burial" saw the light of day. After a few band line up changes, the five sickos have returned to destroy weak asses with their newest ejaculation "Desecrate the Vile" which offers 10 tracks of inexorable brutal death metal in vein of Disgorge (US) while their slam and beat down parts remind me of Devourment. But that does not mean that Condemned copied the style of the bands I've mentioned. They have put a notable batch of songs! The production sounds very cool, the band is brutal as fuck and the musick sounds, with their speed, groove/slam/beat down and technical concoction, great until end! What I really like about this one is the outstanding ultra low guttural vocals of Angel. He is one of the sickest vocalists I have ever heard so far. My only complaint I have about this release is the length of it, its way to short! I've got nothing more to add. Utterly recommended!- Jamie

Dyscrasia / Putrid Pile � Split
Two amazing bands team up to bring some sickness in one cd� Both bands are quite recognized in the death metal scene. Let�s start with Dyscrasia� This band contributes 6 tracks taken from �Genocide of the Unborn�, fueled by sick gutturals and tremendous breakdowns. They also have some occasional blastbeats, and the groove reminds me a bit of Texas band Devourment, especially the slower part, that sounds really heavy and brutal... The 2nd band is Putrid Pile� A one man band, Shaun Lacanne is alone to take charge this fucking sickness! Spewing 2 studio tracks plus 4 live songs that taken from Maryland Death Fest 2004� Putrid Pile plays a good blend with old school and new school death metal that builds sickest and crushing material in death metal scene. Nothing more to add! Grab this mind-blowing split cd!!!

Guttural Secrete - Reek Of Pubescent Despoilment
After releasing their magnificent mcd called "Artistic Creation with Cranial Stumps", they are back with this "Reek Of Pubescent Despoilment". A remarkable full length that makes the fans/listeners satisfied. This album is faster and more technical than their previous works, loaded with 11 songs and it is all about fast riffings, pounding drumworks, smash together with some guttural slams and heavy breakdowns! This is what I portray Guttural Secrete music. A great combination of those styles which lead this band more brutal and interesting... Concerning about the vocal parts, no doubt it�s pretty damn sick as hell! Deep inhuman gutturals with excellent putrid backing vocals... Also they got one instrumental track entitled "Adultration"... Guttural Secrete and this album prove that they have more potential than we thinking. Definitely this is a brutal sick stuff! Get this one through Unmatched Brutality Records. You won�t be disappointed! -Gee

Insidious Decrepancy - The Inerrancy of Profanation
Aside from Viral Load, Shawn Whitaker also owns Insidious Decrepancy. Seemingly he is really a talented guywith inexplicable influences. Insidious decrepancy is under Unmatched Brutality Recs. and plays brutal death metal. Drum programming is severe, and in fact its just quite effortless. Vocals are into typical growls. Guitar riffs are brittle with tremendous slams and trenches. The mixing of this album is entirely vibrant, I prefer to you this, a sick man with gruesome taste of music. check it out!

Lithuria - From her Slit
I fuckin love this shit!!! Lithuria was a very pleasant surprise, they are hailing from Helsinki, Finland and they are playing some good groovy, total head banging brutal death metal. These sickos have cool slam riffs as well. If you are expecting some melodic shits, go fuck yourself instead! This is utterly slamming brutality! Every song on this CD is good. The musicianship these guys have shown are fuckin amazing...
All the instruments are well performed. What I don’t really dig about "From her Slit" is the hardcorish vocal approach which i think do not fit in with the rest. It’s like "i wish he did something different to that part... :) Who the fuck cares anyway? This demo is fuckin great! Check this one and get your personal opinion about it.- Jamie

Lividity - Used, Abused and Left for Dead
Finally it's done! For a long time there have nothing new about them. And now, Pussy Obliteration CUNTinues! Death Metal fans are in for a treat with the Latest ejaculation "Used, Abused and Left for Dead" Right on the first track i noticed that something has changed if I'll take comparison to their previous releases. The vocals are sounding really disgusting and brutal as well as the guitar and bass sounds. Also the addition of Jordan Valera(lust of decay) behind the skin pounding made this release even sicker! Check out the re-recorded version of "Stench of Virginity" , "The Urge to Spurge". Pussy lovers grab this one! Cum soaked torture grind!- Jamie

Lust Of Decay - Purity Through Dismemberment
This band has already made 3 albums. And here is the newest 3rd called �Purity through Dismemberment�. It is faster and brutal than their two previous materials. More technical and the intensity of the music are extremely increasing and finer, if you ask me. Maybe this is the most brutal material of Lust Of Decay(?). We already know what this band presents in setting up brutal music. Riffs technique and pounding drums we can find here. Exactly the same what they did with their previous works, Lust Of Decay�s trademark and no fucken doubt it�s pretty damn brutal anyway! Even the sound production is better. All instruments are well mixed and there�s no extended beyond on it. Even the vocals are very natural and balance. So it is near to the perfect point. But this time, this material was a bit monotonous for me. I prefer their previous works than this, even though this is more fast, brutal and technical. Nothing new and special, particularly on the vocals is lame that don�t give any appeal or interest for me. But don�t misinterpret me, this is not an actually a critic. Let just say that I�m not really into his vocals and doesn�t give any motive on it. This is just my poor opinion... This is an awesome release which you must have to listen to� Get this now!!!

Magistral flatulences - mini size maxi pleasures
Pretty damn cool Mcd packaging like condoms! shit yes! condoms! [If im not mistaken, you can choose 5 different colors. hehe.] And that would be Magistral Flatulence. Yet another cool one man project from France. MxFx cums out to bring you 15 traxxx of shit splattering pure porn inspired groovy grind sickness! This motherfucker spew out gurgling vocals and some squeal that is something truly sickening.(Obviously with effects.) Drums are well programmed, guitars are utterly heavy, the songs are very structured and they remain clear. The songs here got enough variations to stay interesting. Overall the production is very good! I wonder why there's no song title can be found on this release.. But who the fuck cares anyway?? Magistral Flatulence plays a good dose of groovy grind! I highly recommend this release to all fuckers into CBT, Rompemprop,Gut and Ahumado Granujo. Get this now!- jamie

Magistral Flatulence split Nelson Monfort Orchestra
MxFx is tighter than ever on this CD. i think this is the best stuff I�ve heard from this 'shrooms smoking pervert, Omega - Etron. I got my x'mas lights on while reviewing this shit. hehehe! Well anyway, as expected, this fucker plays groovy porn grind in vein of Rompemprop, Gut and CBT. MxFx's musick shifts between hyper fast snare grinding and of course, a very catchy and groovy parts like the aforementioned bands have done. I bet you know what im talking about. hehe.. The production is excellent, you can hear all the instruments and there's a good balance between them. Get this one and play it loud!
Nelson Monfort Orchestra plays fast, violent chaotic grinding power violence. This band is really good at what they're doing and they have raw sound which i think gives a bonus charm to the listener especially who's into this kind of stuff. So if you're hunting down some shit splattering power violence, I suggest you grab this CD!- jamie

Phlegm Thrower - Demo
Bursting from Cavite, Philippines. A two man band with ghastly impact. Phlegm Thrower plays goregrind sort with a styles of D.R.C (Drown Retarded Children) and Lymphatic Phlegm, and its not the vocals i'm talking about, its their musick. The great thing about this demo is their intros, truly unconventional and humorous. hehehe. Guitar riffs are vast, slivering it from tune to tune. Vocals executes two types, pessimistic or bleak and a pig wailing gnome. Drum programming is steadfast and agressive. But the only problem with this demo is the recording, very raw but the squeaking sound irritates me alot. Whenever i play it from one track to the next one. Try to dig these sicko's or watch out for their upcumming 3-way split with exophotic goiter and septic chyme coming late 2006 or early 2007.

Lately i've heard a quite a bit of Italian bands. The most recent find it's way to my letterbox is Septycal Gorge. I really don't know much about this band besides that they are hailing from Turin, Italy.
"Growing Seeds of Decay" is a nine track technical brutal death metal programmed to spurn and slaughter everything in it's path! Their style is basically decent brutal death with alot of other stuff mixed into the twisted song structures. This release is truly breathetaking as it oozes technicality while remaining the brutal feeling on it. The sound production is really good, boasting with a really nice "chugging" of guitars, pretty nice guttural variations, and magnificent drumworks that stays consistent throughout the recording. An incredible album that should not let go by.- jamie

Stench Of Dismemberment - Cannibalistic Urge
Here is yet another mcd from another sick Italian band, and not surprisingly, its fucking amazing! The Italian scene has just been incredible in the past couple of years with a bunch of brutal bands on the verge of exploding like, Vomit the Soul, Septycal Gorge and Wargore.
"Cannibalistic Urge" obviously brings intense bands like Disgorge(US) Enmity and Devourment to mind but Stench Of Dismemberment doesnt cum across as being just clone. They cater us 5 songs running to 17:36 minutes of aural debauchery! As expected, fast, catchy, cumplex song structures, bludgeoning blastings, guttural vokills, unrelenting and inhumanly deep! Everthing is really intense! The copro-duction on this cd is some of the best i've heard so far. The cover is sick,but something filthier would be welcum. Check out Track 2 "Indulgence Denied" (01:15 - 01:58), Utterly sick and perfect tune for hacking and slashing weak asses! haha! I am looking forward for the full length! More than recummended!

That already tells you what can you expect from these mutherfuckers! This guys really know how to create some serious sick stuff! The similarities with their cuntrymen, Digested Flesh, Mortal Decay and Dripping are there, but still Waking the Cadaver sound nothing like clone. Violent and heavy as fuck guttural slamming brutal death metal cumbined with sludgy moshy parts and some hardcore influences that will surely break your neck! The only downside of this ejaculation is that it only features two songs. These guys are well worth checking out and deserve much attention, which im sure they will surely get!! Oh by the way, they are recently signed under Macabre Mementos Records for the full length! Slamming Gore Groove!

Woundeep - Weapons of Mass Protection
Numerous bands in the southeast asia are exploding these days, and Japan is secreting it one of them. Residing at Tokyo, Woundeep performs brutal death metal. These five murderers really gives me a nonstop earbleed when i was listening to them. Two guitars executing, their riffs has a little similar tunes with Disgorge (USA), with continious grooves and breakdowns. Vocals are gloom and down-to-earth guttural. Drums are hard-hitting with fastand tremendous bastbeats. I have nothing more to say about the recording, because most of us knew that when a band comes from the land of the rising sun their demo has a clear result and has good quality. This 3 tracks are not enough for me, i need more!!
