Comment:
1st album by this chilean band that plays an horrific, grotesque and putrid Death Metal in the old school style with influences from bands like TREBLINKA, MEGASLAUGHTER, NECROVORE, CARBONIZED, GROTESQUE, PURTENANCE, MERCILESS...
Si hace unos pocos días os presentábamos a DEATH VOMIT desde Indonesia, hoy nos toca un grupo con el mismo nombre, pero llegados desde el otro lado del mundo, Chile.
Desde el sello XtreemMusic nos llega el primer trabajo en solitario de DEATH VOMIT. Hace un año llegaba a mis manos en un split compartido con los también chilenos UTTERTOMB y ya, en ese momento, me dejaron con la boca abierta. Death metal tenebroso y podrido con unas guitarras saturadas, la batería con una velocidad salida del mismo infierno. Y si mencionamos los guturales de Azazel nos creeremos que el micrófono está en manos de un diablo.
A lo largo de los doce temas de Gutted by horrors, DEATH VOMIT nos muestran un death metal clásico y con muchos toques de TIAMAT, SARCOFAGO o incluso los principios de AT THE GATES.
En estos doce temas nos encontramos canciones como la demoledora “Indestructible abominations” uno de los mejores del disco, una manera perfecta de comenzar un disco. “Holocaust”, “Thorns damnations” siguen con esa agresividad inhumana. El lado oscuro llega de la mano de “Resurrection grotesque” y “Demoniac hunger”. No quiero olvidar temas como “Swallowed by transphormutation”, “Devoured by carcass” y “Painful prayer”, capaces de poner los pelos como auténticas escarpias.
Sin lugar a dudas una grata sorpresa llegada desde el otro lado del mundo y que no solo se limita a hacer todo lo que ya está inventado sino que sabe jugar con diversos estilos sin perder un ápice de originalidad y calidad. Si te gusta lo bruto no te pierdas este tremendo Gutted by horrors de los chilenos.
Hailing from Chile, Death Metallers DEATH VOMIT has released their second full length album on Xtreem Music Records, “Gutted By Horrors”. This album sits at 12 tracks, but only has about 37 minutes worth of listening time. This is a very short album in comparison to the normal 12 track album being at about an hour long, sometimes running longer.
This four piece was born in 2011 and what seems odd is that the band doesn’t have a website or any type of social media to promote itself. The only way the band can be contacted is through their Bandcamp site or through Xtreem Music. They feel it doesn’t fit what they stand for. Good for them, now let’s see how that philosophy comes to life in “Gutted By Horrors”.
The band name and the track list is a clear indicator that these guys are putrid old school Death Metal. If that’s not indicator enough, wait until track two “Indestructible Abominations”. It cranks with high velocity, dark melodies and then those vocals. Perhaps some of the lowest, guttural, nasty growls I have ever heard. Oh so low and oh so dark, these vocals are completely unlike any hellish vocals out there in the metal world.
Track one “Intro – Grave Gate to Horrors” comes in low with an eerie, dark woods, feeling that turns into a glorious composition of guitar riffs and drum beats. The last part of this intro track shows off some of guitar work these guys can do before turning into the complicated, harder, and faster works in the rest of the album.
The rest of the album is your typical Death Metal album. There are the blast beats and the fastness along with a deep dark sound. The vocals are far less typical and really add to the depth this album already has. The guitars do get to have some amazing solos throughout which provides a great contrast to the low heavy riffs that are so generously given. A couple of tracks that show true greatness within the album are “Corpse Immolation”, those guitars are on point and “Devoured by Carcass”, excellent drum work with equivocal bass and guitars.
“Gutted By Horrors” is a good album, with top notch musicianship. However, for the majority of the album felt like the same track over again. Given the musicianship within the album, I expected to hear more creativity overall. It’s easy to hear the gloriousness one song at a time, but as a whole it needs a little more creativity in production.
When you follow my reviews a bit you know I have a weak spot for death metal from Chile. I appreciate both older bands like Pentagram, Torturer, Totten Korps, Undercroft, Atomic Aggressor or Death Yell as well as younger acts like Praise The Flame, Unaussprechlichen Kulten, Demonic Rage, Dominus Xul and Uttertomb. This also counts for Death Vomit in which we find the guitarist of Uttertomb by the way.
Death Vomit exists since 2011. A year later their first demo appears. In 2013 a split with Uttertomb was published and now the first full-length has been released. ‘Gutted By Horrors’ sounds old-school. Death Vomit’s death metal reminds of the first Tiamat album or a band like Necrovore. So, pure death metal. You could also compare the band to a contemporary act like Verminous. The production of Death Vomit is more authentic though, including vocals drenched in delay we hear so often these days.
Death Vomit are from Chile and this is their début album. They play Death Metal.
Now that’s what you call a band logo!
This is brutal underground Death Metal played in the Old-School style.
As would be expected from a band named Death Vomit, the music is ugly and unrepentant. It’s filled with malevolent riffing and hateful drums. Savage vocals echo with the afterthought of torture and bloody carnage.
These tracks have a primitive presence; they have an almost atavistic existence as paragons of raw, underground Death Metal as was. Death Vomit play the kind of timeless, Classic Death Metal that no matter what mood you’re in it can’t help but raise a rictus grin to your face.
The songs are strongly written and it’s hard not to enjoy them as they’re so earnestly and honestly played.
If you’re looking for the latest, newest thing then this is not for you; here we have Traditional Death Metal that could honestly have come from almost any era. Suffice to say that it’s good and that’s all that matters.
Chile und Death Metal? Hm, hätte ich jetzt nicht direkt miteinander verknüpft. Aber der derzeit anhaltende Oldschooldeathvirus macht auch vor dem südamerikanischen Staat keinen Halt und da Xtreem Music sowieso eine treibende Kraft dabei ist so verwundert es nicht das die jungen Chilenen eben bei Xtreem gelandet sind.
12 Titel hauen uns die Jungs um die Ohren, old school bis aufs Knochenmark und definitiv inspiriert von den schwedischen Urahnen. Aber auch Einflüsse anderer südamerikanischer Bands wie Funerus, Autopsy und Incantation sind nachweisbar.
Die abgrundtiefen Vocals direkt aus dem Höllenschlund von Sänger Azazzel wird jeder DM Maniac sofort ins Herz schliessen wenn er seinen verrotteten Kadaver zu den Gitarrensalven und dem Drumgewitter durch die Gruft wirft.
Die Jungs machen nix Neues, aber alles richtig indem sie die Grundzutaten bestens zusammenzimmern. Null Innovativ, schon öfters gehört, aber trotzdem kompromisslos geiler Stoff. Bestimmt hat jeder schon Scheiben im Schrank stehen die in die ähnliche Richtung gehen. Aber der Mensch ist ein Gewohnheitstier und somit gibts keine Ausreden warum man nicht mal ein Ohr riskieren sollte. Macht das mal! Und wenn ihr euch noch nicht sicher seit dann nehmt als Ausrede für den Kauf eben das geniale Artwork.
Decimosegunda edición de Xtreem Music en lo que va de 2014, y tercera ocasión en la que el sello cuenta con la participación de una banda chilena, tras “Spitting Savagery” de DEFACING, allá por el 2005, y el gran “To the Glory of the Ancient Ones” de DOMINUS XUL, en el 2011. En esta ocasión, la banda elegida es la joven formación santiaguina DEATH VOMIT, que debutan en el formato de larga duración con este “Gutted by Horrors“, tras la edición de una demo en el 2012 y un split en el 2013, compartido con sus compatriotas UTTERTOMB.
Lo que nos ofrecen DEATH VOMIT en este álbum iniciático, es un Death Metal oscuro y putrefacto, recién salido de la más profunda y maldita fosa común, en el que la seña de identidad viene definida por la omnipresencia de unas guitarras sucias y saturadas, que arrastrarán cual pútrida marea al resto de instrumentos en una debacle sonora de proporciones épicas. Baterías aceleradas donde, en contra de toda producción convencional, el peso recae más en los platos que en los parches, con una gran presencia de crashes y ride, y por encima de todo, una voz descarnada y malévola, envuelta en un halo de fantasmagóricas reverberaciones: Una producción rompedora, conceptualmente más alineada con los pioneros del Black Metal noruego que con el Death Metal al que estilísticamente se adscriben los chilenos.
A lo largo de los doce cortes de “Gutted by Horrors“, DEATH VOMIT desarrollan un furioso y directo Death Metal que rinde tributo a bandas como SARCOFAGO o los pre-TIAMAT, TREBLINKA, con composiciones rabiosas a base de riffs agresivos y voces desgarradas en tonos medios que destilan pura maldad, al estilo de GROTESQUE (pre-AT THE GATES) o REPUGNANT.
Entrando a repasar el tracklist, destacaría la rompedora y deathmetalera “Indestructible Abominations“, que abre el disco tras la intro, y entra directamente como un elefante entrando en una cacharrería. El siguiente corte, “Thorns Damnations“, mantiene el nivel de agresividad a la par que introduce nuevos elementos como guitarras con ligados más complejos, muy al estilo de los primeros PURTENANCE. Más adelante, nos encontraremos con temas como “Holocaust“, donde DEATH VOMIT combinan su Death Metal de corte escandinavo con pasejes donde dan rienda suelta a ramalazos más thrashers, que son un buen contrapuntos, pesados y contundente, a la velocidad de los chilenos. Los momentos más siniestros llegarán de la mano de temas como “Resurrection Grotesque” o “Demoniac Hunger“, brutales y oscuras a partes iguales.
Quienes pensaban que a estas alturas ya no podían sorprenderse con una nueva banda y que todo se limita a la moda de copiar los mismos clichés una y otra vez, deberían darle una oportunidad a este trabajo y llevarse una agradable sorpresa al descubrir que no todo lo Old School pasa por tratar imitar el sonido de los Sunlight Studios, sino que se pueden aportar nuevas y más corrosivas ideas.
