Here is full-length outing number 3 from these California
natives, replete with gore and horror histrionics. As advertised, there is an
unabashed Carcass vibe on this album, taking shape in creepy breakdown riffs
on both the title track and "Waxwork". Matt Harvey's screeching has
developed well, allowing him to hold a tortured note for quite a few bars,
while his counterpart Mike Beams continues to erupt in sub-scale rants. The
production this time is cleaner, but not overly polished, as is the playing
overall, which may cost Exhumed some "sub-underground" clout but improve
their following in the plain "underground". Also of consequence are the rock
and roll solos of "Consuming Impulse", the Macabre-esque children's choirs
on "Nativity Obscene" and "A Song for the Dead" (which seem to be played
backwards in the latter track) and the surprisingly clever lyrics of the
album. There is an almost British wittiness on "Anatomy is Destiny", a nice
change from the standard futile attempts to shock which most gore-themed metal
bands seem to waste their time on. This is still Exhumed, though there are
some noticeable changes.
