Brutal death metal is the order of the day here from this International (Czechia \/ USA) female combo. If you\u2019re a fan of the likes of Dying Fetus, Suffocation, Cryptopsy and Deeds Of Flesh, then you\u2019ll enjoy the dynamics displayed here; 21 minutes of savagely crafted death metal led by the ferocious vocals of Mallika Sundaramurthy (ex-Abnormality) who is also responsible for the striking cover artwork of this seven-track debut EP.<\/p>\n

Emasculator dish out a familiar yet pulverising set of songs riddled with blast beats and demented riffs resulting in such devastating compositions as \u2018In Resplendent Terror\u2019, which features some nice, chunky mid-tempo catchiness too.<\/p>\n

The band still manages tweaks of melody within the framework of hostility. \u2018Eradication Of The Asuras\u2019 \u2013 with an interesting accompanying music video \u2013 is as equally bruising, hardened by the belligerent drum patterns of Cierra White. As the EP shifts at a rate of knots I hear flickers of Cerebral Bore and dashes of Devourment, especially on \u2018Supreme Void Of Acephalous Being\u2019 with the ripping axe work and slick drums.<\/p>\n

Also of note is the production which gets the balance right so as not to give the sound too much of a gloss, but if you like late 90s and early 00s brutal death metal then pick this up.<\/p>\n
