Retributions for the Dead : Into the reflections of dismal depths

What we've today on "Retributions for the Dead" might be a little summary what I might left to rot from the past. Sometimes I'm just slipped or drowned with all great release that come out, and forgive me about that!

Tampa / Florida seem the best tomb to find deathmetall band. That also doesn't mean Tampa / Florida scene always produced a reeking-ugly, raw and putrid stuff every years, at least there are some bands that crawling from these places sometimes got my attentions. Beyond of that gory years, maybe there a couple of worthy bands may you should festering and reeking for if you need some crushing deathmetall, and here I brought to you, old rotting 'Tampa' deathmetall, VACUOUS DEPTHS!

+ + +

     Consumption  Distention 

              Domination

There was a member changes from VACUOUS DEPTHS since their started back then, it's a naturally rotting-decomposition process of band journey and with Austin  (Vocal / Guitars), Joey Harris (Drum) and Arturo Palomo (Bass) the band definitely will be rotting more after this.

"Demo 2017" was their first debut demo, and it's actually out in digital version through their band'tomb back in the day, and I've just found out that GoatThrone Records will release this debut demo by VACUOUS DEPTHS onto pro tape-cassette for the first time. (I think Aaron Comos did a good job here to releases this underrated stuff) 

This is a very heavy and crushing-chaotic of deathmetall demo. Lots of groove-heavy-rotting riffs that VACUOUS DEPTHS created on this demo and sometimes make me remember of Obituary "Slowly we rot" musical styles. I also think that this demo sounde(a)d better from your expectation that you couldn't easily pass it off. The production of the demo, incredibly insane and have good touch on the final master by Patrick Brady! and it's more disgusting with Austin's voices on its. I love this kind of sing styles : it’s totally ugly, it’s disgusting and totally no filter till end of the song. Ugh!

Totally ugly front arts!  

I think the first impression totally the main factor (sometimes not actually) when you play a certain stuff, is how it's sounde(a)d on the first tracks. The opening tracks from the demo, "Sodomized" totally throw me rotting in deep of bottomless pit of grave immediately! Also tracks like "Black Anvil" and the following track “Graunt Reflections” both show incredibly heavy combinations of slow to mid paced parts that often flow in severed up tempo of classick styles of deathmetall. The guitars distortion / tones is so heavy fvcking brutal and there are several tempo or beat changes on the middle of the songs but to reeked this song decompositions ; it's totally crushing! Also the last tracks from the demo, "Human Compost" doesn’t drifted away from previous tracks, that rotting riffs and the open play parts from this song totally contribute in filling the flavor of stench of rotting decompositions on this demo. Loved how it's ende(a)d! 

A little write up for the cover arts of this demo, I personally loved how Stephen / Meatballgrinder illustrated the full cover and insert for this release, it's totally amazing work by him and definitely perfect disgust and filthy enough with VACUOUS DEPTHS music. 

To be honest, it's totally enjoyable demo to be listen with a slow and heavy crushing sound of old deathmetall with a max volume of dirtiness on it's and it's probably will rotting yours up! To final putrefying, another pure-disgusting, filthy extreme gnarly and rotten stuff that you should checks, VACUOUS DEPTHS have all this feel! 

Order yours copies of VACUOUS DEPTHS demo MC through GoatThrone Records or come out to the release show-party this upcoming September, 14th.

Critical Madness : Trails of the Terrible, Horrifying death (To the gory of 90's Deathmetall underground!)

Finally, after times (rotting) I've some free times to write and breath more stinky on this website. (Hopefully)

+ + 

What we've today on this ugly tomb? Of corpse we're still talk about filthy and putrid deathmetall! More raw ridden deathmetall directly to your ugly face!

+ + +

For those who recognise Thomas Prasser, and his work with Putrid Torso you might know that him now also work with a new band project, old rotting kind of deathmetall style, Pile Of Skulls. The first demo are completed rotting done few weeks ago and a little teaser are up if you might interested how it's reeking and with the help from Rogga Johansson on vocal and Izi on drums, "Horrifying Death" Demo totally will bring you back how the death metal underground works and sounde(a)d back in the early 90's. Let me say, this demo totally suit for those consider themselves a demo tape (worm) lover / collector also for those who lives in that era too!

The demo features four tracks of raw sounding US death metal style (include one gloomy-horror intro) and it's reminds me alot of slow-ridden death of Autopsy styles and the music is played with a touch and combination of slow doom - mid tempo kind of de-composition of deathmetall and the demo features a raw yet detailed of sound production. Of corpse you'll loved it´s more when you digging more deeply about this demo, the sound production is still sounde(a)d good in first touch.

The most amazing thing about this entire demo is the absolutely stunning vocal from Rogga Johansson. It's show of the most rotten sounding vocal styles with low gruff growls and screams, really loved Rogga Johansson sing style on this demo! The riff guitar work as a whole on the demo is rather simple (not so fvcking simple actually) and not too technical too. Pile Of skulls still manages to pull out some incredibly original and brutal - heavy - raw guitar riffs. They are crunchy, fast, and to the fvcking slow-doom at the same times. Also a credits to the bass section, it's totally heavy distortede(a)d!

I can't get enough rotting actually, "Upon a pile of skulls", "World of murder", "Trails of the terrible", and "Bled out and hung to dry" just show Pile Of Skulls can wrote more insanely notes of old kind deathmetall in the future. It's totally enjoyable demo and sometimes may twisted sounding and very creative song de-composition. The demo was produced by Alexander Dietz and it's successfully delivering all the filthy, rotting and putrid atmosphere on this demo. 

"Horrifying Death" have all the ingredient that you need ; disgusting, raw, and dirty old deathmetall. This is the kind of death metal demo that is actually horrifying and slowly rotting at the same times on your ears, the whole putrefaction of the demo has showing how raw, reeking, murky sound that Pile Of Skulls try to fester! Really fvcking loved this debut demo by Pile Of Skulls and drawn me to the fvcking early era of underground deathmetall again. 

Are you still remember how old demos sounde(a)d back in the good old days? Check them out fiends!

Critical Madness : Darkening towards the dream of.. Inevitable Doom!!

Another thing that cannot be understated is how good Russian band like Pyre, Wombripper, Torn Aparts to name a few mutilating the sound of old death metal again! and it's really good to now another Death Metal-ghouls that crawl from the stench rotting air of Moscow, and here.. ABSORPTION! (Thanks Sergei :) )

ABSORPTION was Mortican (Vocal/Bass/Guitar), Patolog (Drums) and Suffocate (Guitar). Their was around the murky swamp since 2017 and according to my ugly and disgusted personal sound tastes, ABSORPTION sounds really stink in down-deep of my rotting ears so far. Purelentttttttt!!!

"Inevitable Doom" demo was a first release by the band and it's was recorde(a)d around March 2018 at Distemper Studio / Moscow. Contained 4 track include the horror intro and outro that sound creepy enough! "Inevitable Doom" demo really good in terms of sound production with clean (darkness) sound coming from my speaker that prove the

band really worked hard for this releases and know how too created a fvcking real good death metal song in slicing a song with deathgrind riffing, brutal-catchy-crunchy riffs guitar, slower doomier and few style of solo guitar. Generally, I know how the underground death metal reacted after their listen to "Inevitable Doom", and of corpse all of you sickhead will loved this demo!

In rotting deep of "Inevitable Doom" bowels, tracks like "Obscuration" with grimly-gory cut-throat screaming in the early of the song and few catchy example riffs from "Poisoned Brood" just take my mind slowly festering the whole creation of "Inevitable Doom" demo. While stink-stench atmosphere embedead from the demo's, you can feel the variations of song structure / sections really stand out part by part.

The sign of live going faded and choking,
While, the delusions of death was born with parasites...
And...
The uncontrolled desires towards the dreams... 
Darkness and Obscuration!
The demo will live for more than 1000 years !

Get your copies from Reforestation Record and please listen to the real death metal (old)

Critical Madness : Crematory.. in Convulsing Human Enormity

It's been awhile this ugly website been updated, but will come here sit more often and write more review about your favourite Death Metal demo's tape, and also the year of 2018 really packed with numerous filthy-putrid demo releases. So here another of old death.. from Sonoran desert. UGH!

+ + 

What we've in this rotting cemetery ghoul! Indeed, the carving for ugly and disgusting old school death metal still reeking and putrid stink! We've two latest demo's tape releases from ENGULFER.  Nothing beyond the death from Arizona, USA and leeching the murky cemetery with raw-heavy-splatter lo-fi old death metal. Total primitive!

ENGULFER was Aidan .A on drum/guitar/vocal and Devin .G bass/vocal. Some of you might know that I'm totally freaky-demo tape worship, loved the stench-raw sound production, underproduced-song structure and simply straight forward song decomposing.  It's all you can get and rotting while listening to all of demos. The first encounter of slurping the crematory by ENGULFER was born in "Rotted" somewhere around 2018. 3 tracks demo, short but totally putrid-disgusting style of Death Metal, low as fvck guitar tones, unreadable words from the sing style simply cavernous-dods for me. Ghouls! just plug in and put this demo on high volume!  Also that riff's from "Devoured" song just wanna make me punch someone face. Ha!

The first demo from ENGULFER just pay the way to greater path to death gore-glory! Beyond of dead, second demo by the band "Convulsing Human Enormity" are have doom slow-death approach than the previous demo, loved that sound of one-hit cymbal style from the first track on the demo. Short, and gruesome vocals on the 3 effective tracks from "Convulsing Human Enormity" just for sick deadhead. Another band who put their passion/flavor, and demonstrating there's no need for crazy trigger-blasts-beat in death
metal!

For additional notes, Dismal Fate Records has reissue back both of the demo's in tape cassette. Or you can contact the band members to get your copies. Nothing but total primitive death!

Critical Madness : WOMBRIPPER | TORN APART "S/T" Split / Tape

On the frozen fields, we're always like an ever flowing of death....

Russian death metal underground scene develop in pretty fast and move into another interesting phase, a lot of putrefying and horrified Death Metal acts has raised since few years ago. To short of list, there are WOMBRIPPER from Nizhny Novgorod and Moscow stenching rotten death, TORN APART.  I dig the first-two records that TORN APART put on the burial ground before, but this is my first time listening to WOMBRIPPER, otherwise what I know about them, they seem pretty much possessed by the chainsaw-buzzsaw of Swedish Death Metal sounds trademarks. For those reclaims themselves a Dismember's fans, you should check this band. 

Short but total death!

Crushing of Boss HM-2:
Only two song contains from this split tape, but I think it's enough for anyone want to know what Russian Death Metal-Underground look like todays. The split tape starts off with crushing raw-melo death intro by WOMBRIPPER, "Morbid Aberration" may sounde(a)d and delivered tons of 

heavy paced than a demo version. The song atmosphere and this little HM-2 production really dominating the first side of the split and you can listen the punch on-off swicth on the pedal beyond "Morbid Aberration". It's surely orgasm enough for Dismember's loyal maniac. It's good that some bands are still prevails the Swedish Death Metal sound after a years. 

Six-feet-under beyond the raw ugly death:

TORN APART came with a new song for this split. "Depths of Madness" may sounded little bit differences from the first side of the tape in terms of song (slaughtered) and production. It's a raw production and just remind me the "Severed Survival" by Autopsy vibe and feelings. Deep 

growls by Tony and approaching by thick-weird bassline in the mid of the song by Romero really put the awesome arrangements on the song. Mid-paced Death Metal and filthy-moldy riff's will tell ya why I love the band very much and there are a simple-extreme rhythm riff's on the song that fill up on my analog player during the session with TORN APART. 

To wrath it's all, this split tape reveals the great raw production, crushing / filthy atmosphere and cherish the band darkness more. It's really short in terms of song but it's still can satisfied my rotten soul. And two things that I got from this split tape, firstly it's bring me down into Swedish Death Metal era again with WOMBRIPPER and secondly get rotting in depth of madness with TORN APART, and it's just contains pure old-Death Metal flavor straightly from this Moscow stench of death!      

Critical Madness : NECRO-E "Assemblage of Emanated Embryo" Demo / Tape

It's quite interesting when Takashi Tanaka introduced the band directly to me back then, and I can't believed what the band was done almost 26 years ago totally never been banished in the rotting memory lane from some of us. Firstly, let's give a big rotting credit's to John from Von Frost Records to make this dream comes to dread. It's definitely a special exclusive re-issue that I think a 'must have' records for the old fans of this Japanese obscure and primitive Death/Doom and to all analog-demo-gravedigger! Thanks Takashi for hitting me up again with this tape.

"Assemblage of Emanated Embryo" demo was the band's second demo after the gore-birth of "Beginning of the Death" Demo in 1991, also the years when "Devoured Periphery" Demo was unleash too. It's not a quite mysterious and interesting when a band that already put 3 demo's in one year and after that recalled for the official split up? Only Minoru Kameizawa and Yoshio Hasegawa know the truth and I found some live footage of 'Oozing Child' on the Youtube, and it's totally a killer show and performances by the band and the crowds to be remember and just looking this old video I'm pretty sure it's was taken almost a decades ago. (Correct me if I'm wrong)

"Assemblage of Emanated Embryo" demo contains 12 songs definitely to be played in mostly low tunes of Death/Doom ways. From mid-tempo Death Metal to slower death/doom just give me a times to relax and embede(a)d my walk across the rotting carcass body. Also, there will be a huge putrid-stench of grind vibe was festered on this demo will puts you off constantly if you're not a fans for this style of rotting lo-fi productions. Some song just been slicing in very short of time, it's like you've just been left in gloomy graveyards, rotting decompose alone and eaten alive by the worms and you can spot that from the tracks 'Untamed Anathema', 'Unmerciful Mist', 'Shock on Intensities' and 'Mass Murder'. It's totally short and delivered a numerous obscure atmosphere or feels from the songs. I'm actually gotten some shock when listening to 'Unmerciful Mist', the Punk flavor and drum beat in the early of the song totally caught my ears. At the moment, I just recognised NEKRO-E actually put a very creative idea on each of the song and try approach the flavor with their own putrid style. Try listen to 'Assemblage of Emanated Embryo' tracks, the speaking style despite of growls beyond the chorus of the song probably the main highlight for me. Ha! Loved that tracks! Also the gloomy-filth melody on 'Beyond the Gates' and the outro-'Decaying the rain' just build up and reconjured the demo atmosphere.

From the mostly slow rotting low tune-paced on 'Under Destruction' tracks and to heavy-grinding death riff's from the 'Boiling Gore', NEKRO-E just put a really fvcking awesome demo back then and Von Frost Records probably put this ugly and disgusting demo in very special reissue-editions of pro-tape. The one in my hand are the brand new arts and layout was done by Mark Riddick. It's a yellow 'mustard' shell tape / cases and out in very limited 69 copies. There also have a 2nd version for this demo with the original art work and come out with high quality J-cards and it's only been press with black shell w/white cases and out in very limited to 31 copies only.

It's a good and killer reissue release both come from the label and the band. And looking how the label handling this reissue of NEKRO-E demo totally make me satisfied and fvcking happy forever!

Total classick!

Critical Madness : FUNEREALITY "Flabby Folds of Flesh" Demo / Tape

I never seen any Death Metal band that worship AUTOPSY more than FUNEREALITY! It's the fact! The previous EP, "Goregeous" , contains pretty much of unspeakable shitfun-work that turn to be a good classick release in my opinion and pushes it's more into extremely rotting and disgust level both from song and lyrics that embalmed from that EP. It's already done on the "Funeral for A Fuck", "Leeches" or "Deathwish" demo and I only can hope, Gusten Andlos can carry out more filthy, stink and disgusting stuff in the upcoming years.

"Flabby Folds of Flesh" Demo are brand new 'gut-eater' from FUNEREALITY. With infamously 'disgusting-bluerragghhh' vocal style, distortion-heavy poundead sound of bass and more extra doom riff's was present, Gusten Andlos are doing it's alone and successful again. Of corpse there are some memorable tunes on here, between the AUTOPSY's slow of doomier-trademark and the raw vibe of Severed Survival anthem. Gusten Andlos swirling out the tunes in very freshly of vile slicing meat and some riff's that easy for you to remember and humming, just like the first track from the demo, 'Pigs'. "Flabby Folds of Flesh" Demo also proved the Punk's flavor can't be separated away, I know the band have pretty much obsessed by some 'raw-pang' tune, you generally can spotted the riff's was build in very simple and straight to the ugliness of the song and with the flowing from the drums beat, rolls and blast just sound very filthy neat between the fast-slow paced. Gusten Andlos's vocals also the main factor and dominate the ugly atmosphere from the demo, with rotten shriek directly from his rotten bowel, the sick deranged styles just give some special feeling listening to the demo. 

The musical and lyrics just offer an within disgusted and more obsession method, but the majority of the song are played in very shorted. These recently era, when the revival of Old School Death and plenty of band just pay homage to old classick sound of death and take an influences from the mighty AUTOPSY, it's pretty hard to deny their incarnation and to cut off what FUNEREALITY are doing and festering for, are the big mistake you've done. I'm glad "Flabby Folds of Flesh" Demo still sounded like previous FUNEREALITY stuffs and still worship the charred-disembowel and mind-blowing AUTOPSY's cadaver tunes. A lot of shitfun-work, sinking and shit on the grave environment from the demo on the run almost 10 minutes are really worthy for those dig all AUTOPSY's and FUNEREALITY works. 

The new demo are out in very super-limited-editions of 'home-dubb' tape, and I must say, I'm just a lucky person among the 13th deadhead who get the chances to hold FUNEREALITY new demo. "Flabby Folds of Flesh" Demo is a complete disgusting new work done Gusten Andlos and I hope there are label will re-release it's again in the future in pro-press cassette.  

Stay dead, and praise the AUTOPSY!

Critical Madness : CASKET "Ghouls Of Filth" Demo / Tape

For those consider themselves a true or the gravedigger the early 90's Old sound of Death Metal will loved the final result on "Ghouls Of Filth" Demo, and I recently though to myself how lucky I am to knew the existence of this band, CASKET. The band was hailing from Germany and conducted by Marco Brinkmann,the debut demo by CASKET also show how great this man handling all the studio recording process parts and it's just flow like that before S.Genozider come to lay down his effort on the rotten drum-tomb set. This is the type of demo that can't easily faded away from your head after just listen once, a lot of greatness from the old chamber of Death Metal prevails and unleash the outstanding sound that came out stink on this 4 track demo's. Less of that, "Ghoul Of Filth" Demo it's definitely worthy for someone that loved all the "slowly-death" anthem by Autopsy, Obituary and Asphyx.  

Mostly from the song de-compositions on this demo are wrote in simply straight forward writing that maybe some of us thought it's a experimentation that came blast from the past or even the key that holder to re-open the dark and doomy atmosphere from the demo. I'm surely can say, it's a point that show or even proved the band already heading towards to the greatness path what some Death Metal band left this recent days. CASKET takes a few step into the old coffins generally from the music with their own flavor and horror-disgusting trademark.

All "dirty-filthy" track from "Ghouls Of Filth" Demo offered a classick rotting sound of Death Metal. It's served by the grimly-heavy riff's guitar tones on every track and certainly meet up between Death Metal and Doom Metal path. This classick combination you can softly spot filled up and created the dark landscapes that maybe spark from your amps. The first track from the demo, "Flesh Winter" has started the real musical that CASKET brought, it's really short from duration of times and was ended up by doomy paced that lead to the second track that sounded more heavy than previous one and embalmed all the Autopsy's feel. This epic style of slow-riffing guitar's give a new dimension just in few more second before the solo guitar's festering the whole creation of "Ghouls Of Filth" tracks. The second tracks maybe the highlight tracks on this demo if you asked me. And I'm really loved how this tracks flow and fill-up on the groovy beat.

From the darkness that prevails from "Ghouls Of Filth" Demo, the sound of crunchy heavy riff's and buzz-bass line played will smashed directly into your head. Something that probably hit's my head up, is Marco's voice. It's definitely distorts-monster-chocked growls represented from deep of rotting side of his own throat and give us numerous deathbreath to all song from the demo and I think his vocal approach on the demo are the important part how much heavy and disgusting brutal the demo has produced. The stand-out screams-yell from "Covered In Guts" track and mid-paced aggression beat turn in very well and make the demo end up with glorious feels. 

On the final crawl from the "Ghouls Of Filth" Demo, I'm really enjoy what CASKET already done, from the slower riff's into rotting-rancid riff's work well together and cherish all the atmosphere from the demo. The horror-vibe remains from the start into the end of the demo was played and it's just pure sickness of Doom to the crushing Death Metal sound.

Grab your copies of "Ghouls Of Filth" Demo from Lycanthropic Chants or directly smashed up your head to the CASKET tomb-pages for more details!  

Rotten rancid of Death, total gore and total doom!

Critical Madness : ROTTED "Pestilent" Promo demo / tape

I guess my small room already divided into two parts, first in the clean section and other one, probably the most stink and disgusting. Managed to do the re-collection in the future. Let see!

+ +

The corpse beyond the creation of ROTTED, Dylan jones already told us before in our last conversations in this web-blog, how heavy and disgusting this band can goes by. (You can read my interview with him / ROTTED on here). ROTTED managed to records and festering the ground with this two track song in mostly sick, putrid and stenching way of death.

In behalf of "Pestilent" promo demo, it's contained alot of stink-decay and disgusting flavor, and sometimes it's turns very good and twisted-distorted dry on the tones of sound. Track like "Pestilent Tomb" configure a massive and simple forward song writing that blend and decompose with a heavy-crunchy-thick of guitar tones and deep ugly howling-growl. Just loved this tracks. And to end this suffer, "Rotted Remains" keep the atmosphere around the forgotten tomb warming, and full with stench-maggot rotten-decompose. UGLY!!

We need to see how the debut full-length from ROTTED going to be (rotten) this years..... AND, for sure ROTTED will be a good disgusting-choice for you to pick and listen what band you should worship this coming years. Keep your eye (bleed) to Dark Blasphemies Records, they will unleash ROTTED debut full-length album in Autumn 2017. Death Metal, with disgusting, stink, and rotting flavors! BLUEERRGHHHH!!!

Retribution for the Dead : Gruesome death! And the cannibalism of CRYPTWORM.

I'm not so sure, if my Sunday will end up like this. And soon the left-hand-path will be re-written like before. And the work schedules will goes "rot" like yesterday, same and bored! The filthy reason I stay on the same jobs for many years because they let me keep my long hair and obey their fvcking system and sometimes I can feel like I'm drowned and sinking into nowhere and into the unknown places without any passion. Fuh!

And here, a band that saved my week and give me a huge twisted inspiration towards the life revival. Disgusting, filthy and raw feeling like a life wheel's! 

+ + 

CRYPTWORM! Crawling from the dark and deepest Bristol's graveyard, UK. It's was conducted by two deadhead, Tibor Hanyi on "sickness" vocal and "crunchy" guitar and Joe Knight on the long-horror "Dead-beat", CRYPTWORM keep and bring up the tunes more disgusting, and stinky of pure old Death Metal into another level and sick enough and you guess what they know how to deal with it's seem they already on this path before in other bands.

"Gruesome Death" opened the debut demo and immediately will bring you into the old death years, the heavy-crunch tones from T.H guitar and the rotting riff's totally out of minds and it's already slicing me apart. T.H keep it's more sick-horrible-down-tuned and it's really good to feed the cannibal, and later smashing their dead-brains. On the second tracks, the deadhead beyond the drums, J.K already waiting to put his heavy-blast of dead-beat on the classick way. Just loved the smell of pure old "Skansk" beat. Unlike the previous and the ending tracks, "Cannibalized" are short in terms of song durations. And the song also contained alot of faster "rotting grinder" song arrangement, it's enough to make you sinking into the your coffins and eaten by the rotting worms! The slow death / mid-tempo atmosphere, CRYPTWORM created for the ending tracks, "Gutswamp" will slice your skin and dismembered all the dead creatures! 

On the running times of the CRYPTWORM debut demo, you will faced a deep-grunted growl, it's heavy and pure sick by T.H!, cavernous and crushing guitar tones / pure energetic drum-beats by J.K and the combinations of fast - slow in the song arrangement. And you will know that "stinky" feel till you rewind the demo again and again. SICK!  

This is 12 : 55 minutes of raw-cannibalised and pure disgusting of Death Metal from the dirty grave. The sound production also will give you a horror bad-dreams through the survival from the "eaten human flesh". Mark Riddick make it's more sick as always with his magic-hand drawing sketch, the black  / white inks on the covers tapes make it's look classick enough! I'm really loved the old-demo feels. To be sick, I'm totally possessed with the demo, and without any doubt this is will going on my personal choice for "Best of Death Metal demo 2017" list. Blluueerrgggghhh!!! 

To order you copies just heading out into Goatprayer Records coffin and this is totally recommended for all demo tape collector and the lover of Death Metal in disgusting and putrid ways!

+ RAW DISGUSTING OF DEATH +

Critical Madness : Morbus Grave "Throne Of Disgust" demo tape

Anyone can remember what happened back in early 90's somewhere the Italian underground scenes? Can anyone figure it's out for me? Hits me up via email ! I need a fully reports for my thesis :)

Nowdays, if we talk about the Italian DM undergrounds, some band might goes rotting on the paper list. And, of corpse! the list only contained the more pure sickest, dark-raw of old Death by Metal bands ever existed in Italian rotting lands today's. Some bands like Gravesite, Funest, Morbo, Into Darkness or the mighty Necro probably make and releasing a sick demo tape few years ago. And to end up this longest intro, here I give you another stinky-smell-brief about the other sickos, disgusting, total mutilated DM bastards from Milan, Italy 

Morbus Grave !!!

Morbus Grave !!!

+ +

The band was spawned in 2010 by A.th and Erman, and probably the "Throne Of Disgust" demo was released by the Italian sickest records label, Unholy Domains Records before, only the first records this bands was unleashed till the days still counted. Unforgettable season, if you like the old Darkthrone or maybe Death and remember only the sickest among us will survived during the decomposition process, just like Morbus Grave!

Honestly, the smell of rotting process on "Throne Of Disgust" demo are really stinky and pure devastating, horror intro that definitely influenced from some Italian horror movies, some good ripping-rotting riff's can be caught here and there and the perfects clicks on the small holes already fill up with a dark-mutilated by Erman, sometimes it's turn in very good combination between 1/2 phrase or intro from each of their songs. Unlike the previous tracks, the third slaughter tracks from the demo, "Descent Into Dark Abyss" contained a very catchy-crunchy-groovenomous riff's and been added with some doomy parts and what's really got my ear totally the cover song that their put on the next tracks, it's totally full with bloody-screaming lead by the Erman voices. I'm really like how Erman growling-grunted all the tracks on this demo with his own sickest styles, and it's really interested parts to be featured to all bands out there, especially the lead singers, how you should sinking (singing) yours voices in disgusting way.  

I'm just ende(a)d up my boring Sunday with my favourites DM demo spinning tracks by tracks , and there always be "Throne Of Disgust" demo on top of my rotten list demo favourites spinning and walked beside me along the journey into the left-hand-path of death. To speak it's louded into the corridor of death corpses, "Throne Of Disgust" demo are among the macabre-sinister rawness path that sounding directly and nailing from Italian DM rotting graveyards with the tag of mostly underrated DM-demo in 2015, heavy-stinky-rotting tunes, and putrid cadaver voices. Just pure sick among all the rotting tunes! Orgasm!

And, no need to end up this pursuits of nothingness beside you're the lover of analog tapes, you can directly hit the bands for the copy or just throw your 'disgusting' orders thru Unholy Domains Records. You'll be a lucky-boy if the demo still available from them.

P/S : Last for today, don't forget to check "Drowning By Nightmares" tracks from the demo, the solo guitars by Maso Alastor in the end of the tracks totally caught my ears. And here some live rotting footages Arrghhhhhh!!!! 

Critical Madness : Wormridden "Festering Glorification" demo tape

A years goes by, some people changes and some people keep it's (rotting) down into their stinky funeral graveyards. Decomposing, rotting and eaten by the worms!

+ + 

Takashi have sent me a couple of copies of Wormridden "Festering Glorification" demo tape, it's the second "smell of the rotting carcass" releases from Wormridden after the gore-birth of "Infesting The Grave" demo back in 2012. The downtuned sickos based in Tokyo/Kill-town land of rotting dead. So, it's already almost 2 years when "Festering Glorification" came out stink from the coffin-tomb, what beyonds the relief?

Better late than never!!

Two tracks in most raw and heavy downtuned and Death Metal without hyper blast-beat, it's Death Metal also, no need to spread fast your hands on your snare drum like your holding you machine guns and try to shot the slyness cannibal birds :) 

"Festering Glorification" totally in most stink of pure raw morbid production directly from stinky basement you ever smell, the doomy-gloomy parts, the faster heaviness riff's guitar, guttural growl, Slowly and carnalvous of D-beat mangle are the flavors to feed the ghoul of forgotten tombs. Sometimes, some 'catchy' riff's from "Reduced To Slime" tracks make me smile how that's riff's guitars will gonna changes the world of Death Metal undergrounds in terms more disgusting and festering the old worms? It's will be classick masterpiece in the futures!

In the middle of gruesome of cover layout, Takashi and D.Tortudod know how to handle their 'gory' parts in most dirty ways, sometimes my tape records capture a sound of bullzzing from thousand of worms in deadly coffin, it's also same how the carvenous slime of song aparts join together to complete this two tracks demo. It's such a pretty disgusted Death Metal I've listen. Simple and heavy!

I must admit, the gory side of Wormridden will continues to slashing your tongues and keep your ears bleeding and keep believed the distances between Takashi and D.Tortudod are not the main problem for them to make another twisted downtuned death metal stuff in coming years. Death Metal in pure sickness will arise in anywhere on this earth, 

Total Death!  

Critical Madness : Putrid Yell "When Life Has Ceased" demo tape

Giving way to Nihilism from the Total Death..

Once upon (dead), almost 8 years ago, there was a places down into the Chilean graveyards of death , the tales of the "buzzsaw" massacre get started when nobody expect where the sound of chainsaw come from. The atmosphere of horror begun.

Chile always a most wanted place that one day I must pay a visit. Not for the honeymoon, but to visit their own "Nihilist". 💀

Putrid Yell, a band that got my attentions (always be my favourite's bands in all the times!) few years ago. The keeper of gloomy cemeteries, come out with "When Life Has Ceased" demo back in 2013 under Ad Baculum Recs before the Italian "Death by Metal" label records, Unholy Domain Recs got the baton of death to re-release the demo once again. So here, I only got a version from Unholy Domain Recs, (Thanks Pech!) So it's like I'll gonna live for once more after I missed the first editions of the demo :)

"When Life Has Ceased" demo directly take you into the ancient Swedish Death Metal glorious times. With that buzzsaw HM-2 tones and heavy-catchy song, you (especially the Swedish Dodsmetall maniac) gonna loved it's, no doubt!! From the solo till the riff's, the mid paced structures and their horror-films themes, Putrid Yell have their own flavor how to make a tasty Death Metal in raw ways. Personally, I loved the smell of stinky D-beat on their songs, Sexphemous doing a good jobs here. I always believe the Punk music are the best combination when you try to make a good Death Metal songs. Never forget and never regret to heavy-growl monster voices by Rod Nihilist, the mutilated of throat will the sick ever. I thinks their have a good times do a recording for this demo, just relax and pull the knob to the max!

Some memories of old Nihilist, Autopsy, Dismember can't be faded away when you listen to this demo. But for me, their have "something" that many Death Metal bands don't have today. Putrid Yell gonna give you something differents that you might lost along times ago. 

"When Life Has Ceased" will be a good demo to play during your funeral ceremonies. Trust me!

Critical Madness : Nefarious "S/T" demo tape

A big hug to Julian Walter because sending me couple of copies of Nefarious debut 'crushing' demo tape. Nefarious, basically re-animators in 2016 by ex-members of Vesicants / Attack Imminent somewhere over places called, Illinois. There always a moment when the clock stop clicked, the times turn to the past and that times you try to remember what happened back in then. Here comes the lurking corpses, bringing back the old death/thrash formula's.... Past always will be remembered and future will tells no lies! 

+ + + 

Stinky rehearsal rooms down deep into the basement + nasty mini compo recorders + Slayer "Angel Of Death" formations + Possessed "Seven Churches" + Hellhammer / Celtic Frost and little hints about the old rebel 'Punk' junkish? This combinations pop up into my mind firstly when I put the black colour tapes on my cassette player. Raw of old death thrashing metal !!! Its tasted raw, like some old bands in the past do. Mainly death-highlights here probably should be the classickos old catchy / heavy thrashing riff's in underground modes from their songs.  Just listen to the first trax from the demo, "Merciless Hound", faster and heavy changing riff's + old skansk death-beat tempo, it's sure classick and pure enough! I like how their created their own "old raw" sound productions and I found some might interesting solo guitars on "Where Death Lurks" that make the ending of their debut demo look more greats and sure will be turn very classic in futures, and there was a feeling you want some encore when you see them played alive in fronts of you. 

The 12:47 minutes of "horror-occult" atmospheres (for both sides) fill up with rough and raw voices from the darkness totally the heavy ones that I've listen so far this years. Yeah! more expect to come! Totally recommende(a)d for all demo tapes collectors. Death to deathster! Dead man tells no tales somewhere over the graveyards, just hold your breath and try to reach your hands into their debut demo! Sure it's makes you smile and suffering the old syndrome of death thrashings tunes!!
