Cadaveric Incubator: Sermons Of The Devouring Dead

CADAVERIC INCUBATOR: 

SERMONS OF THE DEVOURING DEAD

   Finnish purveyors of filthy noise Cadaveric Incubator, have uncovered the age old secrets of managing to be extreme, underground, yet not take themselves too seriously. 
    Debut full-length Sermons Of The Devouring Dead, is a delightful delicacy of putrid grinding old-school Death-Metal with all the gritty trimmings and is undeniably a lot of fun. 
   Musically, the album is superb yet simplistic, collecting a wide variety of inspirations and influences and wearing them plainly on their sleeves. Put plainly, if you want to hear what the love child of Autopsy, Asphyx and Carcass would sound like, then here is your chance.  
  "Gravestench Asphyxiation" packs a rotten punch, with virtually Brown Noise low level riffage and prolapse inducing bass tones. Tracks such as "Hideous Premonition" and "The Undead Fiend" focus heavily on the Gore-grind ways of legends such as Exhumed and Carcass' early years, while "Cadaveric Incubator" and "The Covenant Of Gore" opt for a more early Master, even Venom inspired attack of crunchy, primal Thrashing and all out whiplash speeds. 
   "Rite Of Eibon" is a dismal outing of highly atmospheric Death-Doom, like a primitive interpretation of Grave Miasma's strain of audio darkness, which is in stark contrast to the following brain-rattling grind racket of "Massacred".  Purists of the old-school Death-Metal ways will find sanctuary in tracks such as "Unburied Abominations" and "Conceived In Filth" which boast heaped helpings of iconic buzzsaw guitar work, thudding blastbeats, gnarly vocals and unchallenging grooves.
   Overall, Sermons Of The Devouring Dead is an enjoyable piece of work with a very honest, down to earth approach with a massive appeal. The frequent calls for "thrash" and "guitars" certainly help to give the album a more grounded and approachable vibe. It is surprising just how hooked you can be, and how impressive it is that Cadaveric Incubator can make an 29 minute long album significantly more dynamic and interesting than a lot of their peers and predecessors. Anticipations are as high as the bar is set for Cadaveric Incubator's follow up offerings.

EXODUS: PERSONA NON GRATA

  EXODUS: PERSONA NON GRATA         The Thrash Metal hierarchy has long been constructed around the mainstream success of the American "Big Four", dwarfing their peers outside of the clique with their mass popularity and stratospheric record sales. Thanks to bands such as Exodus, Testament and Overkill, a revolution has begun. The most recent releases from those bands comprising the Big Four have been good at best, while the latest albums from these previously mentioned outsiders have been breathtakingly excellent.    Persona Non Grata is a crushingly heavy slab of solid Thrash Metal. Gary Holt and fellow guitarist Lee Altus whip up a veritable storm of crunchy, Thrashing, whiplash-inducing riffs from start to finish. A superhuman barrage of drum battery is unleashed by Tom Hunting, accompanied by Jack Gibson's booming, thundering and raking bass notes. All the while Steve Souza sings, screams and snarls like a rabid and possessed vocal maestro....

MASSACRE: RESURGENCE

  MASSACRE: RESURGENCE      Like the walking dead, Massacre just keep coming back time after time. Refusing to stay down, this band simply won't die. To survive, Massacre takes on a new form every ascension, this time they have re-emerged as the Kam Lee band, with the legendary vocalist being the most consistent and regular member of the band over the years and through the numerous reformations.   The Massacre that we are faced with here on Resurgence could be considered as something of a Death-Metal supergroup. Comprising the band alongside Kam Lee; we have Mike Borders on bass guitar whom was previously a member of the band for short spell in the mid 1980's, alongside Jonny Pettersson of Wombbath (and countless other bands and projects) and Rogga Johansson of Paganizer (and possibly even more bands and projects than Jonny) on guitars, Brynjar Helgetun on drums, and Memoriam's resident riff-lord Scott Fairfax providing lead guitar. United this band of talented ...
