As if someone has drained a remote swamp of sediment, algae and gunk and unloaded it on my doorstep, mongers of gloom Putridarium come knocking with their long awaited debut full-length album. If you\u2019ve followed these German ratbags you\u2019ll know that previous to this the combo has issued three vile demos, a gruesome compilation and been involved in two hideous split projects with Ancient Death and Trollcave respectively.<\/p>\n

Necrolog\u00eda Del Sadismo: Excerpts From A Deranged Mind<\/em> is 40 minutes of what epitomises today\u2019s death metal scene: boggy yet blustery riffs, burped vocals, passages of enveloping gloom and the usual sleaze-ridden song titles such as \u2018Raped, Hacked & Fucked\u2019, \u2018Maggots Reign\u2019, \u2018Wretched Carcass\u2019 and \u2018Necrophilic Impetus\u2019.<\/p>\n

Putridarium continues its foul mix of rampant death flurries and doom sludge all wrapped up in a dayglo sleeve that would make Necrophagia\u2019s Killjoy proud, God rest his soul. However, this is also the sort of album that makes me wonder if the death metal genre has reached its expiry date, because even with those repulsive slogs there remains an air of predictability.<\/p>\n

Throw Putridarium in a soup containing the likes of Morbific, Sanctuarium, Stenched and Cryptworm and you\u2019ve got yourself a gooey but generic downpour of gut gravy, although I\u2019m more than happy to wallow in it. That\u2019s not to say that any of these bands sound the same, it\u2019s just that the whole swampy bellowing seems to have reached breaking point. Even so, Necrolog\u00eda Del Sadismo\u2026<\/em>, like previous Putridarium releases, is that rather no frills bog of bludgeoning slop. But maybe I expected more considering the silted and sooty quality of the demo tapes.<\/p>\n

\u2018Torture Persecution\u2019 does hit a level of sludgy, slimy grossness after its initial bluster \u2013 the vocals drag alongside the lumbering riff \u2013 but for all of its macabre yawning and perverse mid-tempo slogging, it’s predictable fare. However, the combo does provide some interesting abrasive kicks on \u2018Stripped To The Bones\u2019, before the melancholic instrumental \u2018L\u2019Ultima Processione\u2019 ends the album.<\/p>\n

In-between, it\u2019s all very much muck and mulch as \u2018Maggots Reign\u2019 and \u2018Necrophilic Impetus\u2019 follow well trodden paths of dense flurrying coated in congealed blobs of morbidity. Riffs constantly churn like a cauldron of stirred innards, while drums and bass thud like rotten corpses stumbling back into their earthy holes as \u2018Beheaded Screams\u2019 oozes and slithers with bleak, squirming aplomb.<\/p>\n

Still as soggy as a mouldy lettuce, Putridarium burrows further into the death metal dung heap. Not interested in variation, they exist as writhing maggots oblivious to time and with one interest \u2013 eating your ears with their moans of decay.<\/p>\n
