The debut full-length album from this Chilean band of brain-busters is sure to warm \u2013 or possibly torch \u2013 your cockles this winter. Combining death and thrash metal, Manifest Of The Primordial Essence<\/em> comes racing out of its squalid hole with some of the raspiest vocals I\u2019ve heard for a long time.<\/p>\n

The man behind such maniacal retorts is Necrowolf (aka Javier Peralta) who, alongside Marcelo Sep\u00falveda, brings the ear-shredding axe work too. Chris Palacios (bass) and Antonio Kurt (drums) complete Envenomed\u2019s line-up and add to the frenetic nature of this hostile record that isn\u2019t afraid to veer towards a blackened thrash style in scarring your already malformed features.<\/p>\n

Manifest Of The Primordial Essence<\/em> is an ultra-fast album that scurries like a pack of rabid rats which nip, rip and tear at your flesh as you frantically drown in their hairy horror. This blazing bout of aggression has been a long time coming because these guys formed 12 years ago and since then have only released a couple of demos and an EP (Maleficent Supreme Incarnation<\/em>), and it\u2019s been a while since those.<\/p>\n

Lurking in the darkness, Envenomed has somehow patiently constructed this audible blitzkrieg based around hasty riffs, hyper percussion and those nasty, hoarse vocal sneers. And so for half-an-hour you get pummelled and whipped by the racing, volatile and, above all, blistering \u2018Omnes Vacivs\u2019, \u2018Ignis Fatuus\u2019 and a whole host of similarly constructed examples of frothing brutality.<\/p>\n

\u2018Envenomancer\u2019 is streaked with black \/ thrash blood, and that\u2019s the scalding theme here. Just check out the barbaric bass rattle on \u2018Active Cosmic Putrefaction\u2019 and the wild, demented solos on \u2018Makiavellian Pact\u2019; both bristling with a striking, barbaric energy.<\/p>\n

Of all the stark, retaliatory strikes on offer it\u2019s difficult to find a space to breath within the entangled chaos. The old school, organic clatter of \u2018Dead World\u2019, the thorny, rampant belligerence of \u2018Chaos Dimension\u2019\u2026 it\u2019s all here \u2013 an intense, abrasive machine that remains unrelenting and confrontational from start to finish.<\/p>\n

As subtle as being raked by machine gun fire, Envenomed\u2019s long-awaited debut makes you feel like you\u2019ve swallowed razor blades and crapped out glass, and I\u2019m fine with that.<\/p>\n
