I got my haul from Comatose today. I didn't taken a attentive listen to Orchidectomy or Corporectomy, but from what I did hear was promising. The album art for Orchidectomy's "A Prelate's Attrition" is awesome. Good stuff. Well worthy of the $30.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Corporectomy is average, but Orchidectomy is sex.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

I love their album art

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Yeah, that is a really great album cover. I find a weird similarity between the figure being eviscerated there and this figure:

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Yeah. The slit in the belly on both figures.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

I remember seeing it for the first time and going "...did they just PLAGIARIZE ...AND OCEANS ART?!"

Quick reviews of some pretty new brutal and/or slam releases:

Blasphemer: Good
Human Mastication: Awesome
Corporectomy EP: Decent
Orchidectomy: Good, strangely addictive for some reason, even though the riffs aren't THAT memorable
Dysentery: Pretty decent

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Sounds 'bout right.

 

[cookiecutter]

Agreed

Orchidectomy: Good, strangely addictive for some reason, even though the riffs aren't THAT memorable

I thought the exact same thing. It was the one I kept playing despite having multiple to choose from. It's one of my new "fallback" albums when I dunno what I'm in the mood for.

 

[cookiecutter]

I think it's because they cover a lot of the slam death spectrum in terms of riffs and do them all pretty well

 

[Life Sucks]

I've listened to the new Orchidectomy quite a bit (was in the rotation in my car CD changer for a while), and I find it to be just good, not great. Somehow I find that the raw production doesn't really fit the brutal/slam death style all that well.

 

[divine_torture]

I think it fits that album perfectly. The raw production doesn't fit some bands, and others, like Orchidectomy, it does wonders for imo. The production is half the reason I enjoy the album so much.

 

[cookiecutter]

Agreed

Anyone want to throw a few albums out there to someone who wants to get his feet wet in the genre?

I've listened to Wormed and Devourment and a few others I'm sure...but not much else.

*I also know its a minor thing... but super violent over the top lyrics about rape (seriously though most death metal is okay) and whatever are a bit of a turn off for me because my computer and mp3 player are both around the family... especially the computer. I say this because I'm pretty sure this is a genre it exists in quite a bit*

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

You can't understand pretty much any brutal death metal lyrics, tbh. Especially Devourment circa Molesting The Decapitated/1.3.8, in which Rosas and Knupp both sound like they're just gargling gasoline and eating glass and turning those sounds into vocals.

 

[Krow]

I'm fully aware... but the songs and cds still have titles and cover art work. =P

Please forgive my failing at wording things.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Oh, you said lyrics though. Yeah true. I'd suggest buying the Unmatched Brutality re-release of 1.3.8 by Devourment as there is pretty much no gore.
