The title of this one says it all as Kentucky mob Cerebral Desolation drowns the listener in a soup of grinding, churning muck. Some of the riffs boast that gloomy Bolt Thrower ploughing sound while great slogs of dirty doom work in tandem with the guttural vocals.<\/p>\n

This is just a thick sordid congealed bathtub of horror as the title track drags you down the plug hole like a quagmire of vomit. For me it\u2019s just great to hear another gore-clogged band erupt from the sticky sewers and bestow their foul noise upon us. \u2018Artificial Extinction\u2019 sounds like a clan of stinking zombies attempting to march through an alleyway littered with human debris; it\u2019s dense, even melodious but boggy to the extreme. \u2018Chastiser\u2019 brings a bit more pace, but it\u2019s still the kind of grotty death metal I\u2019d play alongside the likes of Putred, Tenebro, Cerebral Rot and Fetid.<\/p>\n

\u2018The Turning\u2019 begins in stark fashion, the percussion hissing and kicking through the toxic mist and luminous vapours. The vocals are echoing barks and yet there is an almost punky ethos to the gallop. Final song \u2018Land Of The Sheep, Home Of The Slave\u2019 begins with a flurry before quickly slowing akin to machinery succumbing to silt. The echo gives it that garage sort of vibe as if the band has rocked up at their uncle\u2019s house to jam in the outbuilding. Nasty, down tuned slop is on the menu here… so choke on it.<\/p>\n
