GORGASM (USA/Il): “Bleeding Profusely” Cd 2001 Extremities

RECENSORE: Unknown

VOTO: 8,00/10

DURATA:


Ultra crisp, ultra Brutal, now improved by the human session battery

machine Dave Culross (SUFFOCATION, MALEVOLENT CREATION… nuff

said?) GORGASM are back in full shape with their intense, crushing

Death Metal with almost grinding blasts and chunking churning

skin peeling riffs. Porn Grind I have seen they call it in the

reviews, well… could fit, although this is neither Grind nor

Gore as we European mean it (not like DEAD INFECTION at least).

Sure the vocals are damned down tuned and the lyrics deliciously

pervert, yet they’re far from the likes of DEAD, LIBIDO AIRBAG

or COCK & BALL TORTURE, ultimate purveyors of filthy sickness.

First here, is the music, the big guitar riffs are complex but

flowing, and the recording absolutely impeccable, the sound so

saturated they schunk your eardrums to cubes of bacon. Blessed

as well by a wonderful layout (both cover and booklet) this is

more of very high quality Brual Porn Death Metal, ‘mind me a good

cross between the lyrical perversion of LIVIDITY and something

more obscure, more frightening, more Death Metal. Soundwise closer

to the likes of DEPRECATED and DISGORGE (USA), I can’t really

see the reason I have been told this album was “melodic”.

Thanks god, it’s nothing like (spit) “melodic”, the

riffs are crushing, the blasts devastating, spreading like explosions

of fury in the vein of uhmm CEPHALIC CARNAGE (?)…. yet when

they maintain these supposed melodies it’s only the solos, modern

in structure yet classic to the ear… this is an album on par

with our time and age, modern and so perfectly performed it splits

the second with each beat, they’re really human chronometers.

Big, big Death Metal with some variations and definite personality.
