The wonderfully garish cover art draws the attention as we dive headfirst into the fourth full-length offering from Greek death metallers Ectoplasma. For me, this combo is one of the finest bands to emerge from Greece, and they never disappoint with those brain shuddering rhythms.<\/p>\n

Opener \u2018God Is Dead, Satan Lives (Rosemary\u2019s Baby)\u2019 grinds with a heavy groove, built upon the barrage of filthy drums. Ectoplasma doesn\u2019t do anything flashy but the pulverising dynamics remain relentless as the track bleeds seamlessly into \u2018Appalling Abomination\u2019, which has a fetid, meaty chug that starts at the innards then spews up from the gravelled throat of Giannis Grim.<\/p>\n

The album is full of thickly coated melodies dripping in gunk and sick. The title track overflows with gouging riffs and pace, and \u2018Gruesome Sacred Orgasms\u2019 begins with the filthiest bass before evolving into a blood-spattered chug of density. Meanwhile, \u2018Filth-Ridden Flesh\u2019 annihilates with its bludgeoning haste.<\/p>\n

Yes, it\u2019s standard old school death metal worship, but there\u2019s a vile charm throughout \u2013 just chomp on the grinding sludge of \u2018Desecration Of The Christian Existence\u2019 or the hammering of \u2018Infestation Of Atrocious Hunger\u2019. There\u2019s always that squalid, organic feel which is maintained even with the pacier segments.<\/p>\n

Ectoplasma\u2019s new outing follows fondly on from the batch of previous efforts, with consistent battering rams daubed in Technicolor imagery while keeping in with the rules and regulations of death metal aesthetics.<\/p>\n
