Vomitory - All Heads Are Gonna Roll

#FOR FANS OF: Death Old School

Straight forward death metal with a big-ass kick to it! Various different tempos in the guitar riffing and combine that with screaming/low bellow vocals puts these guys in a different realm! They thoroughly kick some serious ass! Their music is pretty unique and insurmountable. No doubt that this release is nothing under an 75 rating. The intensity is high and there's a plethora of blast beating. They remind me a little of blackened death metal to the likes of a band named Blood of the Wolf via Chicago, Illinois. Not entirely, but they sure as hell resemble it somewhat. Few may disagree, but I think I've narrowed it down.

The vocals along with the music go steadfast and without any compromise. The vibe is there with the death metal kicking serious ass! I was impressed when I first heard this! It's my introduction to Vomitory. Thanks for the recommendation from a friend!

The music is all over the place, but not in a bad sense. Just that it's constantly fluctuating. It makes it unique and always what's guessing that's to come next?! I really dig everything about this release. The music mostly. It's filled with varying degrees of intensity. I've grown a great liking to this album the more spins I give it.

I was surprised to learn that these guys are from Sweden but they don't use the traditional Swedish pedal that a lot of Swedes do with their guitars. I'm glad that they changed up that sort of typical sounds with traditional death metal from that part of the country. I'm totally in awe about how unique this band is with all the tempo changes and the vocals. The drums are right alongside the music and it's tight. The vocals though kick ass and keep the sound to be totally underground! The music here is all their own concoction and the fury/anger is totally felt in the music. I'm surprised that they're not entirely well-known.

They sure as hell keep it brutal and I like this entire album. There isn't a song on here that I disliked. All of this releases just grapples me. And it seems that they got some positive press. Definitely a thumbs-up to those who recognize good death metal! (Death8699)

Vomitory - Terrorize Brutalize Sodomize

Ahia, quando ho letto sul pacchetto Vomitory, ho temuto il peggio per le mie orecchie già malandate di questo periodo. Torna la storica band svedese (in giro ormai dal 1989) con il sesto album, un attacco al fulmicotone costituito dal classico violento sound death a metà strada tra il brutal americano e il feroce death scandinavo. Dieci songs belle compatte, veloci e indiavolate, che costruiscono tonnellate di riffs, lanciate a mille contro l’ascoltatore. Gli ingredienti utilizzati dai Vomitory poi, sono sempre gli stessi: ritmiche efferate, growling catacombali, sfuriate al limite del grind, ma anche rallentamenti sconfinanti nel thrash. Rispetto al precedente “Primal Massacre”, le differenze sono assai poco rilevanti: forse in questo terrificante “Terrorize...”, i pezzi sono più brutali e diretti, contraddistinti comunque, sempre da un’eccellente produzione, pulita e potente, avvenuta presso i Leon Music Studios. Difficile identificare un brano piuttosto che un altro, perchè tutte le dieci tracks sono delle saette in grado di trafiggere il nostro costato. Le influenze dei vari Dismember e dei primi Entombed, nonché delle extreme gore bands americane, sono sempre ben identificabili nel background musicale dei nostri. 17 anni sono passati dal loro esordio, ma nulla è cambiato, il sangue continua a sgorgare a fiotti... Solo per amanti di sonorità estreme! (Francesco Scarci)
