Upon inserting the Disk “The Birth….Born In Sodom” from Abrasive, I’m greeted with an intro which reminds me of the intro to Cannibal Corpse “Meat Hook Sodomy” which I must add is one of my favourite CC songs so that is no bad way to start an album to these ears. The production comes in fat and heavy with a really natural drum sound although sometimes the snare sound is a little overpowering in the mix. Although that saying it kind of adds to the intensity. I love the fills on the drums. They sound so damn big. The high hat work is awesome in places. The guitars are little drowned out by the huge drum sound but when there is space to hear the riffs, the guitar sound is meaty although I would have opted for a louder if not even meatier sound. Now, I have to say, in my reviews I always nitpick over bass sounds, here the bass sounds class. It sounds like a big bloody grand piano. It sounds fantastic and to add to it, there is some lovely bass lines being played so I’m so pleased to hear that. The vocals on offer here have a huge sonic range, from death metal gutturals ala Cannibal Corpse to grinding screeching highs to pig squealed vocals. Hell, there’s even some slammin parts in the mix here, so enough to satisfy those in search of the groove. (Brutalism)
