This is the second album from Australian death metal band Revulsed.
Cerebral Contamination is a 36-minute assault of brutal riffs, blasting technical savagery, and guttural vocals. Yes, Revulsed play brutal death metal, and they’re here to rip the skull out of your head by the eye sockets.
Revulsed work the blast-and-groove-with-technicality form of classic brutality hard, and these songs are easily enjoyable if you’re at all partial to this sort of thing. It’s a great slab of beefy nastiness to throw on at the gym, or even to just sink into via headphones as the band crush your mind with their barbaric attack. However you like to consume your brutal death metal, Cerebral Contamination hits the spot quite nicely.
This album is a ruthless examination of considered brutality. Spewed forth by a band that know the style well, it’s a well-written affair that steps beyond the one-dimensional offerings of many ostensibly similar brutal death metal acts. The key to Revulsed’s success lies in their ability to shape their ferocious music into engaging forms. The riffs and dynamics are simply a cut above the norm, and this is an album that held my attention better and longer than many that play in this subgenre.
Yep, this is good stuff. While it certainly doesn’t reinvent the wheel, it does devastatingly destroy it convincingly enough to warrant your attention.
If you’re a fan of bands such as Disentomb, Suffocation, Deeds of Flesh, Defeated Sanity, and the like, then Cerebral Contamination is one for you to check out.
