Tehom<\/em> is the second full-length studio album from this gnarly Hungarian bunch and it\u2019s a rewarding effort that really deserves your ears.<\/p>\n

The general tone of this opus is one that conjures images of corpses being shredded through rusty, flesh-caked machinery. Os plays it simple but with heavy dollops of roughness, particularly in guitar tone while those drums just clamber through the murkiness like a walking cadaver hungry for human brains.<\/p>\n

If you dig old Incantation then that\u2019s probably the closest style of barbaric death metal I\u2019d compare this too. Maybe you could throw in a slight touch of Autopsy too, but for the most part this is more aggressive although there are some grim segments of doominess.<\/p>\n

Everything about this record is nasty and low-end circa, say, mid-90s death metal but on an older cassette! It\u2019s just good, old fashioned underground death metal that bludgeons along nicely, never once seeking a thrill it just exists in the earth like an old bone waiting to be discovered.<\/p>\n

There are times due to the cruel, primitive execution of the album that some tracks may appear as one blur of grisly noise, but again I refer to that utterly miserable tone, the sort of bloodied death metal you\u2019d want to dig graves to.<\/p>\n

Standout track for me is \u2018Inhale\u2019 just because it successfully marries slowness with speed. I also like the creeping entrance of \u2018Dissolve\u2019 and the utter obliterating haste of \u2018Submerge\u2019, but all the tracks coughed up leave me with a dirt-coated tongue and compost in my lungs. Testimony then to the gritty, organic foulness these guys have created.<\/p>\n
