Corpsessed is a raging death metal
group whose new record Abysmal Thresholds is
something of a wonderful death metal abomination. With tracks like
Trepanation and Necrosophic Channelingg (What is that even supposed
to mean?) these guys know what it is to write some brutal and
unforgiving tunes. With a great understanding of songwriting and
riffing, Corpsessesd go for the throat, taking no prisoners and
allowing no quarter. This is death metal, evil, destructive and rife
with lyrics that will crush your brains.
The
sheer aggression found throughout this record is wonderful. As
opposed to many of their contemporaries Corpsessed consciously change
tempo and it allows for more varied and interesting music, making the
brutality more poignant. One complaint I do have though is that the
vocals are turned down far too low, I would like to hear them a bit
better in the mix, I think that it would make the sound less muddy
and develop the attack. As a whole though, the sheer force with
whichthis band charges ahead is impressive and therein lies the true
might of Abysmal Thresholds
the raging darkness that fuels the entire record.
So, if
you want a death metal record that gets it, that you can turn up and
have smash your skull to pieces then this is very much the album for
you. Sure, Corpsessed need to polish the mix a bit and develop the
vocal attack, but there is no concealing the fact that this is one
solid death metal group. With a wonderful sense of groove and an
attack that is often to die for I could see these guys quickly
evolving and getting bigger. And hey, after a while, the low mixed
vocals actually have a bit of an endearing quality. So get out there
and watch the hair go flying, Abysmal Thresholds is
a very promising death metal debut.
