Debut album from 1998 by this Chicago-based American band and one of the hidden gems of late 1990s Brutal Death Metal. Formed in 1992, DEADEN built a reputation within the underground scene through a relentless and uncompromising approach to extreme music. "Hymns of the Sick" represents the culmination of the band's formative years, capturing the brutality and aggression they had refined through demos and live performances.
Musically, the album delivers a crushing brand of Brutal Death Metal built around devastating riffs, deep guttural vocals and precise musicianship that prioritizes impact and intensity over technical excess. Its sound bridges the gap between classic American Death Metal brutality and the sickening atmosphere of old-school underground extremity, making "Hymns of the Sick" a highly regarded release among devoted followers of the genre.
Recommended for fans of: INTERNAL BLEEDING, PYREXIA, DEEDS OF FLESH, DISGORGE.
