There\u2019s a strong Autopsy feel here alongside Repulsion, more so musically as there\u2019s some really macabre melody on offer as depicted with opener \u2018Fed To The Dogs\u2019 where the vocals of Roni drift from guttural growls to snappy squawks.<\/p>\n<p>What you\u2019re basically getting is punky, rough, primal death metal with strong grinding overtones whereby the combo effortlessly pukes out some really fast stuff mixed with slower, catchy yet utterly morbid patches, such as with the brilliantly titled \u2018Blob Of Coal And Guts\u2019 and the evil trudging of \u2018Annihilated Mind\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Namesake track \u2018Bashed\u2019 is an extremely puke-coated piece of murderous encroachment upon the ears. \u2018Frozen Solid\u2019 also stood out on my first listen due to its fetid drums that roll in Autopsy mode, and while the song brings pace it\u2019s mostly just a turgid ooze.<\/p>\n<p>This is the stuff I love to dive into, Bashed being another name to slap on the list of gruelling yet catchy death metal acts that like to roll around in their own vomit.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Neil Arnold<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BASHEDBashed EP Self-released (2022)Rating: 8\/10 Rounding off with a cover rendition of Autopsy\u2019s \u2018Ridden With Disease\u2019 is the debut offering from Finland grindcore \/ death metal act Bashed, and what a joy to behold this 23 minute EP is.
