6 songs here, including a Cannibal Corpse cover, on a split CD
with Blood Red Throne. Severe Torture definitely caught my attention with
their "Feasting on Blood" album last year, and they keep rolling on like a
decapitated head with these 6 crushers. The Dutch quartet make no bones about
being influenced by North American death metal, and you'll quickly pick up on
the Cannibal Corpse influences with the title track opener. The transitions
are very Floridian, as are many of the riffs, and the tempos are fast but
digestible. I really like the snare sound Seth has, and his playing keeps
getting better and better. It amuses me to think that he used to sing for the
evil Dutch death metal outfit Centurian sometimes. A lot of talent! "Pray For
Nothing" has a lot of moshable sections and tempo changes, but things really
peak on the song "Taking Down the Descender". The song ends with a
bludgeoning NYDM breakdown, which flows into a killer bass scale accompanied
by the best drumming I've ever heard from Severe Torture. I think this song
alone is worth the price of the CD. The Cannibal Corpse cover, "Perverse
Suffering", is basically the original sped up a little bit, but seeing as
that's one of my favorite Cannibal songs, it's not at all unpleasant to hear
on this CD. FAVORITE TRACKS: Taking Down the Descender, Pray for
Nothing.
