This is definitely my first exposure to a band hailing from
Wales. You know, the other part of the U.K. It is puzzling to me why there
aren't more extreme metal bands coming out of such an infamously ill-tempered
area. Apparently, Desecration have run into some press problems at home in the
past, as well as the banning of their first album, 1995's "Gore And
Perversion". It didn't take me long to get into this album. Tons of blast
beats and double bass runs, guttural vocals, twin guitar savagery and a great
attack on the bass. The production on this 10-song CD is well above average,
boosting the natural threat of the songs with crystal divergence. Quite a few
bands come to mind, which is to be expected after 4 albums in 7 years: a
little Deicide here, some Suffocation there, maybe a bit of Polish death.
Desecration manage to keep the purity of death metal resplendent with
innovative tracks like "Swollen" and the steamrolling "They Bled". The
Welshmen (I can't believe that is being mentioned in a metal review) use some
well-picked samples to their advantage and have got a bloody good death metal
album here.
