Description
Promising total rotten malignancy with the superb visuals of this record, before you hear a note; you know this will be a gruesome listen. Fouling the air with a disturbing ambience, the disquiet of this record leads into a gloomy and sepulchral yet bludgeoning offering of death metal. Abhorrent riffing and ghastly vocals mold together in foul fashion atop powerful drums. Each gritty detail has a lot of force behind it and the band instantly puts a butcher’s hook through your flesh that keeps pulling you in for more fetid ferocity. This type of mid-tempo, groove-laden death metal has seen a lot of strong acts in the last decade or so and Filth are clearly going to be one of those names that stand out with their memorably intoxicating and putrescent soundscapes of decay.
For half an hour churning bubonic guitars and guttural snarls possess you while brutal drums keep your neck cranking along to the rotten feast of death metal. This is an absolutely crushing listen that fans of the old school will definitely adore. Unpolished, unfriendly and unwavering; Filth set out to concoct a disgusting debut LP and they have certainly excelled in this endeavour. Your skull will be stamped into mulch, spilling into the catacombs below. Each stringy ligament of musicality is absolutely grotesque from start to end. Feeling like a singular fluid experience, each song is a statement to true death metal reigning supreme. The time to rot is upon us…
