Caustic Wound contain current/ex-members of Corpus Offal, Magrudergrind, Mortiferum, and Cerebral Rot,, and Grinding Mechanism of Torment is a 28-minute platter of old-school ferocity.

Corpus Offal – Corpus Offal (Review)

Corpus Offal - Corpus OffalCorpus Offal are a death metal band from the US and this is their debut album.

I had no idea that Cerebral Rot had split up. If you don’t know them, check out 2019’s Odious Descent into Decay and 2021’s Excretion of Mortality, both very fine slabs of hideous death metal. Why is this relevant here? Because Corpus Offal have arisen from the decayed corpse of Cerebral Rot – the guitarist and guitarist/vocalist have been vomited forth into this new incarnation, and they have brought a new bassist and drummer with them, (the former ex-Demoncy, the latter from Autophagy/Bell Witch).

Phrenelith – Ashen Womb (Review)

Phrenelith - Ashen WombThis is the third album from Phrenelith, a death metal band from Denmark.

Following on from 2021’s Chimaera comes the 39-minute monstrosity Ashen Womb. This is absolutely hideous stuff, from a band that apparently just keep on improving. Phrenelith have unleashed something truly malefic here. Continue reading “Phrenelith – Ashen Womb (Review)”

Cerebral Rot – Excretion of Mortality (Review)

Cerebral Rot - Excretion of MortalityThis is the second album from US death metallers Cerebral Rot.

Sometimes all you need in order to feel a bit better about life is a slab of good, old-fashioned death metal, the sort that reeks of disgusting foulness and rotting ugliness. 2019’s Odious Descent into Decay was exactly ones such record. Now we have the 47 minutes of horror that is Excretion of Mortality, and it hits the spot very well indeed. Continue reading “Cerebral Rot – Excretion of Mortality (Review)”

Cerebral Rot – Odious Descent into Decay (Review)

Cerebral Rot - Odious Descent into DecayCerebral Rot are a death metal band from the US and this is their debut album.

Odious Descent into Decay contains 45 minutes of disgusting old-school death metal. Reeking of some long-forgotten swampy Hellhole that last saw the touch of light in the early 90s, this album sounds like it has been festering and rotting in the darkness for decades.
