Bereft of subtlety, Portland, Oregon-based death metallers Disimperium spits out its debut full-length outing as if it were a discarded chunk of gristle. Such an opus comes thick, fast and aggressive with combinations of cavernous noise and flickers of grindcore madness.<\/p>\n

Forget the alarm clock and let this 32 minute assault be your early morning wake-up call. Nine tracks, only one over four minutes, and a sound that literally lays waste to your neighbourhood as \u2018Fortess Of Sulfuric Ritual\u2019 comes hammering like some uncontrollable war machine coughing rust and puking bullets. It\u2019s a cacophony suited solely for total annihilation. A screaming missile, a flattening tank, or maybe the rake of gunfire, just choose your weapon and become one with the gnashing riffs while all commands to the trenches are bellowed in chesty fashion.<\/p>\n

\u2018Manifested Primordial Torment\u2019 is next up where the machine gun fire of the percussion streaks through walls and takes down the opposition as a driving bass clanks. The combination of black-death and grind alongside old school death metal results in an utterly furious torrent that barely stops for a lunch break. Grinding pistons, chugging cogs, rattling bones and spouts of scorching flame, this is a record that just waits for the drums to pick up a gear before homing in on its intended target before wiping out the entire horizon.<\/p>\n

\u2018I, Servitor Of Naught\u2019, \u2018Sepulchral Mind Prison\u2019 and my favourite \u2018Conclave Desecrated\u2019 are jack hammers to the skull; hostile attacks created as dense walls of intoxicating smog that become impenetrable swirls of vaporous horror. Forget suspense or any kind of slow building drama, Grand Insurgence Upon Despotic Altars<\/em> is hateful, seething and monstrous from the first billowing chords, and from such chaos there is no escape. Thanks for the wounds guys!.<\/p>\n
