PUTRIDITY - Morbid Ataraxia
Willowtip Records
There are two sides of extreme sounding Brutal Death Metal in my not so humble opinion. The first is the raw, lo-fi and at times comical side. I'm talking about the brutal pounding sound, pig squeals and offensive song titles. I like that stuff simply because it makes me smile. I also view the bands as having more of a Punk Rock spirit of spitting in the face of culture.
The other side of Brutal Death Metal is the respected one. That's where Italy's PUTRIDITY stand as far as this fourth full length by them is concerned. And yeah there are plenty of acts who are part of this side. But the latest release by this Italian five piece act really has something cool going for it.
First and foremost the drum work on here is savage and technical. So when you add in the song structures as in slash riffs then there's a slight Tech Death Metal quality that's not overbearing. The songs are not out for laughs. In fact they're more intense psych punishment. The vocals are classic cookie monster but not in a cheap copy cat way.
Song wise and style the majority of these eight cuts are fast punishing numbers which will have ya twisting in the wind. There's only one song on here that'll remind ya of CANNIBAL CORPSE. And the final track "Immersed in the Spell of Death", which is 12 plus minutes in length will have you thinking the album is over. But no it's not even if you think it sounds like a frog infested pond for a few minutes. The band eventually kicks in with their BDM finale. All in all a great album.
