Name: Conceived in sewage
Artist: Devourment
Label: Relapse
Released: 19th Feburary
Texan Metaller’s DEVOURMENT play a style of slamming death
metal for fans of low guttural vocals and breakdown driven riffs. Produced by
Hate Eternal’s Erik Rutan, ‘Conceived in sewage’ provides the listener with a
heavy as fuck, well presented, powerful attack, akin to a sledgehammer hitting
a bovine corpse repeatedly.
Although I’m not personally a fan of this type of death
metal, DVOURMENT are possibly one of the better bands in their niche, but the
lack of solo’s or technical guitar-work is disappointing, and the album could
have easily been half as long, I became reasonably bored after 5 tracks.
To be fair to DEVOURMENT, the gruesome cover artwork
certainly doesn't leave much to the imagination, and the consumer will
certainly be able to make a quick judgement on whether it is their cup of tea.
Some of the better tracks are ‘today we die, tomorrow we
kill’, ‘Fifty ton war machine’ and title track ‘Conceived in sewage’.
Brutal, savage, abhorrent, and vile, this album is not
eloquent or beautiful. It’s disgusting, but I’m pretty sure that’s how
DEVOURMENT wanted it to be…
