This is the debut for this one-man act that doesn't sound like one, I
think mostly because we are used to hearing one-man Black Metal bands and
not Death Metal. This has a great, hollow, bellowing recording job that
really gives a subterranean feel, and the riffs are just bludgeoning
heaviness, so the sound of this is very much like getting clubbed to death
in a cave. The riffs have a surprising amount of texture in among the
heaviness, so there is more than that to grab onto. This has a low-fi,
grimy feel I often associate with South American stuff, and that's meant
as a compliment. If you like thugging, downtuned, primitive-sounding Death
Metal then this is the shit right here. That album title? Exactly what
this fucking sounds like.
