||  God Was Created breathed new life into U.S. Death Metal scene    ||
||  that had become boring & stagnant and would lay the foundation   ||
||  for a new generation of bands to come. No band had been able to  ||
||  successfully bridge the gap between the more melodic European    ||
||  style and the more brutal U.S. sound until this release.         ||

||  "Gather round, I have a story for ye. Back in 2002, a            ||
||  Phoenix-based death metal group called Vehemence released an     ||
||  album called God Was Created, a work that escaped widespread     ||
||  popularity to essentially become the little engine that could -  ||
||  a cult classic of the genre, if you will. Far from               ||
||  conventional, Created had an odd sound that was melodic without  ||
||  a hint of Gothenburg, preferring instead riffs that combined     ||
||  the open-strummed hardiness of Arghoslent with the evocative     ||
||  melodies of Intestine Baalism. More importantly, it showed a     ||
||  band tossing aside genre conventions to let blossom their        ||
||  bizarre vision and ambition. A concept album about a young       ||
||  man's fatal obsession with a devoutly religious schoolgirl,      ||
||  Created combined acoustic strumming, sullen spoken word, and     ||
||  guitarwork that alternated between demented and achingly         ||
||  gorgeous, all into an hour-long journey of sexual Jesus          ||
||  fantasies and necrophilia.' - Angry Metal Guy                    ||

||  "This record is a must for fans of extreme metal. Even those     ||
||  who are not into the brutal death style will still be able to    ||
||  find something they like in "God Was Created". It is one of      ||
||  those death metal releases that sidesteps sub genres and just    ||
||  offers good music. This record can appeal to any Dark            ||
||  Tranquillity fan as much as it can to any fan of Nile or         ||
||  Cannibal Corpse. I truly believe this to be without a doubt the  ||
||  best extreme metal release this year!" - Metal Bite              ||

||  Not to be confused with other bands with same name.              ||
