Following a split earlier this year, Sewer Death Metal newcomers CHTHONIC DEITY have their demo for our listening displeasure. Featuring some of Death Metal’s most important names in the current scene, this is a promising release. Set for release on October 31st via Carbonized Records, Woodsmoke Records and Lunar Tomb Records.
Drums forcefully pound in which are met with a festering and gruesome array of crawling guitars and spewed guttural vocals. The immediately huge and decimating walls of Incantation style Death Metal are captivating and do not stop to hesitate, delivering filth and festering soundscapes of reverberate putridity, I am immediately understanding the huge amount of hype surrounding this release regardless of the fantastic musicians involved, though of course their skilful blend of odious extremity is present in this steaming chasm of disdain. The doomy touches of the music are reminiscent of 90s Finnish Death Metal such as Sentenced and Funebre, certainly something brilliant. Oozing bars of blistering intensity and sparse atmospherics make this release feel like a true work of art, something that is impressive for a band so new, with a truly complete feeling to the demo. The meatiness of the drums backing up such savage guitars and vicious vocals makes for a pummelling experience that is punishingly brutal and unrelenting from start to end, taking you to the promised land of Death Metal ecstasy with what is definitely one of the more memorable demos from this year. Do not hesitate in submitting to this cacophony of horrors, lest it digest you whole. The reek of magnificence and gloriously thundering Death Metal will certainly resonate through those who delve into this short but satisfying venture of depravity. -8/10
