Audible carnage is upon us once again as Qu\u00e9bec City death metal merchants Sedimentum rise again and finally delivers its debut album to the world. This quartet of flesh-crawlers has bestowed upon us squalid, grotesque music since their 2019 demo which was followed by two split projects, and then a few months ago a two track promo demo tape which acted as a teaser for this fetid abomination.<\/p>\n

As expected, this full-length release adds further sickening coatings to the already burgeoning yet bludgeoning death metal scene, and what you get here are seven tracks of guttural blast beats, doom-drenched chugging and enough boggy, cloying vocal silt to block your drains. For me, the demo releases were exceptional so it\u2019s no surprise that the combo continues its foul expression.<\/p>\n

\u2018Krypto Chronique II\u2019 is the sort of hammering introductory track fans would have been gasping for, a blistering chugganaut of devastating weight and twisted, contorted riffing that casts off great lumps of manky flesh. There\u2019s always that foul air of catchiness of Sedimentum, so those requiring slower slogs of sluggish perversion will not be disappointed although it\u2019s fair to say the album is one great mashing mesh of obliterating heaviness that slurps with putridity.<\/p>\n

A personal favourite amidst the gory gravy has to be the oozing \u2018Excr\u00e9tions Basaltiques\u2019 with its toiling riffs and those vile percussive bangs which speed up nicely to accompany the unravelling cacophony. Admittedly, even with its crushing approach, there are whiffs of the formulaic, after all, a lot of bands are engaging us with similar, but certainly not identical designs (Tomb Mold, Mortiferum), but it\u2019s also testament as to how hideous and bludgeoning the scene has become. Just listen to the hailing aggression of \u2018Funestes Manifestations\u2019 with that belligerent percussive drumming and flashes of Morbid Angel with the whammy perversity.<\/p>\n

Everything about this album reminds one of oozing sewage littered with body parts and bulbous excrement. \u2018Supplice\u2019 aches and drones with repulsive, orgiastic discharge from its very bog-drenched guitar sound. It\u2019s akin to a treacle waterfall cluttered with bones and rotten meat as the drums merely act as macabre stabs through the haze of buzzing flies and ground flesh. Meanwhile, the title track is a leaking odour of sombre whining as the melancholic chord mournfully nods to those bleak, smouldering horizons before the vocal growl introduces us to a laborious sluggish trickle. This thing lumbers so unhealthily that even when the speedier chimes clamber from the pit you\u2019re already suffocating on dire fumes of cryptic mould.<\/p>\n

Sedimentum are masters at creating dreadful atmospherics where harrowing rhythmic rolls and the sheer weight is what truly brings on the claustrophobia as thick, gloopy sediment clogs every vessel, leaving you as a bloated corpse ready to pop.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s often very difficult to describe a lot of this muggy, dank death metal that\u2019s doing the rounds and I simply just recommend you spend some time with it and make your own judgement\u2026 if you survive its sodden horror that is.<\/p>\n
