Having announced their reunion in 2018, Swedish death metal machine Vomitory finally hits home with a new full-length album, which comes 12 years after their last outing, Opus Mortis VIII<\/em>.<\/p>\n

This was always going to be a rampant return, and if Vomitory were a mixed martial arts individual they\u2019d be the sort that takes its opponent down within seconds of the bell and ground and pound until forcing a bloody, mangled submission within a minute. All Heads Are Gonna Roll<\/em> is a frantic and rabid return that is riddled with blastbeats, pummeling riffs and those guttural coughs from bassist Erik Rundqvist.<\/p>\n

Through the damaging speed it\u2019s still nice to hear some mid-tempo crushing, such as on \u2018Ode To The Meat Saw\u2019 where that classic, yet almost hardcore, Swedish grind occurs. I also admire the guys for the sprigs of melody too (\u2018The Deepest Tomb\u2019), but weight is never once sacrificed on what is an ultra-heavy opus. The thrashing malice of the opening title track plus the equally ravaging \u2018Piece By Stinking Piece\u2019 show the threatening side of Vomitory at its deadly peak.<\/p>\n

\u2018Raped, Strangled, Sodomized, Dead\u2019 was never going to be subtle, but a vein of dissonant melody does run through it. In fact, the same could be said for any track you choose to focus on; \u2018Dead Man Stalking\u2019, \u2018Decrowned\u2019 and \u2018Dead World\u2019 mastering the art of savagery but holding a deep melody at their spine.<\/p>\n

Vomitory is back with an apt album title and a freshness and vigour to get their fan base salivating once again.<\/p>\n
