Description
“2011 release from the Bay Area Death Metal band. Real Death Metal has been essential to the heavy music underground for 25 years now. The genre’s appeal, unlike its subject matter, will never die and it need not overly concern itself with trifles like “progress” and “relevance.” One need only listen to timeless masterpieces by Grave, Autopsy, Grotesque, Repugnant and countless others for proof positive. Vastum is cut from the same diseased, rotted shroud. Their debut album Carnal Law was birthed from the wretched spawn of various other projects known and unknown. The band aurally copulates in the tapped vein of Death Metal’s putrified core elements. Focusing not on speed so much as creative songwriting with memorable riffs that both brutalize and dehumanize, and a dual-vocal assault emanating from a lowered coffin.”
