Cremulation is a Welsh death metal band you must check out. This trio has only existed since 2022 but they are sure to make waves, not only on the UK circuit but hopefully worldwide because this debut full-length offering has such a vile sound.<\/p>\n

When I slapped this on I honestly thought the speakers were bulging with slime and the stereo was coated in sediment. As \u2018Resurrection Of The Rotten\u2019 lumbers out of the plug hole one immediately reaches for the disinfectant to combat the grime of guitar and bass. Fuzzy and fetid, Cremulation oozes steadily like a stream of spilled intestines; fatty liquids bubble to the phlegmy vocal gasps. \u2018Gastric Broth\u2019 slithers like a sickly leakage, traipsing through waste with its puke-clogged churning.<\/p>\n

Just two tracks in and Amalgamated Abomination<\/em> is already the filthiest UK release this year as \u2018Flesh Chamber\u2019, \u2018Are You Dead?\u2019 and the title track grind with sludgy menace as the vocals gurgle through levels of choking smog and algae. There are wafts of punkiness as well as doom, but first and foremost this is death metal slurry as if someone has dredged the contents of a bowel, thrown it in a blender and chugged down the gloupy soup.<\/p>\n

\u2018Dig Your Own Grave\u2019 and \u2018Coffin Juice\u2019 follow suit as rank, congealed trudges dripping with pus as the drums pound with morbid glee, while \u2018Werewolf\u2019 grinds with a sadistic groove as those vocals now become barks of maniacal horror entwined with vomited burps. \u2018Strangled And Mangled\u2019 finds a burst of energy within the blubbery coils before \u2018Three Heads In A Freezer\u2019, complete with hilarious dialogue, wraps things up as if it were cling film around a maggot-ridden corpse.<\/p>\n

Not only is this debut outing a mucky bucket of splatter but it\u2019s fun too with those smutty riffs and unhygienic gasps. This is everything you want from an unclean death metal album, so dig in and chomp on the secreted waste that is Amalgamated Abomination<\/em> and revel in the sleaze.<\/p>\n
