So, sick of extreme technical brutality? Sick of even reading those two words? Well, you'd best steer clear of the new Disgorge then, because it'll stab you in the vagina with a rusty trowel and eat your children. Once again with a new vocalist and dual guitars (the first time they've had that luxury since the "Cranial Impalement" era), the band with the most used name in metal has vomited forth 44 minutes of insanely crushing, dark, sickening brutal death metal. Yes, you read that right. 44 fucking minutes, which is an extra 15 on the last album and nearly double the length of the first two. With that in mind, you'd think it'd be a chore to listen to, but the epic length (by the standards of this style anyway) fly by with nary a second wasted.
So, how do I actually describe this thing? Well, it's a endless barrage of blastbeats, skull-smashing breakdowns, atonal tapping riffs, and vocals from the bowels of Satan himself. It's certainly nothing you've never heard before, but obviously Disgorge pull it off with that extra bit of panache which sets them amongst the upper echelons of this particular type of nasty death metal. They do throw in a few curveballs though, such as the bizarre “Forgotten Scriptures” which is a slow, droning doom-ish track with whispered vocals, and a re-recorded version of the old staple “Atonement” which simply devours all in it's path.
All said and done, if you liked the previous Disgorge albums, you'll like this one. If you only liked 'Cranial Impalement' and though the other two were boring, you might like it. And if neither of the following apply, fuck off.
