UK putrid Death Metallers CRYPTWORM are back with a new mini-album of festering, morbid delights. Set for release via Me Saco Un Ojo Records (vinyl), Pulverised Records (CD) and Life After Death (tape) on May 2nd.
Thick swirling riffs and pummelling drums grind out a fetid blend of rotten Death Metal in the vein of bands like Undergang. Spewed snarling vocals further add to the odious assault, coupled with whiplash grooving riffs and hammering drums. This is a forceful and rivetingly rancid onslaught of Death Metal in its most vile form. Scolding us with their tormentingly torturous blend of brutality, Cryptworm are clearly not changing themselves for anyone, this is just as much of a bellowing grave-groover as their previous releases.
A squelching array of dank, dark monstrosities is what you get on these four tracks, belching through vulgar and crudely primal Death Metal with an unrelenting, convulsive force, utterly mighty in execution. The blasting aggression on the album is utterly ferocious but the slower Death-Doom sections are really the highlight for me as the sound drags and crawls through ichorous and meaty riffs and snappy drum work with those raunchy and monolithic grooves that these guys pull of so well.
This truly is a storm of vicious and insanely catchy, swampy and eerie Death Metal that will certainly keep you headbanging along from start to end as you rot away in your crypt. This is mortifyingly crushing, brutal and spectral Death Metal performed flawlessly that offers nothing but fierce, visceral and skull-cracking heaviness with nothing held back. The gurgling of the guitars, drums and vocals certainly leaves a fetid and malignant trail of devastation in its wake as Cryptworm surge forth through this monolithic mini record.
Once again, Me Saco Un Ojo Records has delivered some of Death Metal’s filthiest sounds as Cryptworm have proven not only once to be among. This new mini-album is definitely a corpse-ripening affair that lovers of the most rotten Death Metal will not want to miss. -9/10
