HOLY SHIT!!! - 95%

"Combining modern death metal with an old school feel, Supreme Pain’s debut full length from Comatose Music will fuel your inner hellion with more than enough demonic and corpse imagery for you can handle."

"Cadaver Pleasures" is one hell of a debut album. It is unbelievably brutal, insane and somewhat technical. It can't get heavier than this. the guitar work is flesh ripping and the drumming sounds like the next world war, if there were to be one. "Cadaver Pleasures" has some of the best death metal riffs I've heard. Brutal as fuck, somewhat technical and not generic at all. I must say, it is extremely unique and well thought out. The drummer must be a fucking machine to do what was done on this album. Robert Kovacic (the drummer), who did a session for the band Belphegor is no doubt one of the best metal drummers of all time.

The bassist had also done a good job.The bass was heard well and was good going with the rest of the instruments. Aad Kloosterwaard, also the vocalist of Sinister, does a great job on this album. Like I said, it can't get any better than this. His growls are extremely deep, yet you can still understand what he is saying 90 percent of the time (which is a great thing).

All in all, this is essential for all death metal fans. You guys just have to give this baby a listen. There is no way in hell you'll regret it. "Cadaver Pleasures" is a work of art, if you will. Lets just hope their next album will be as good. : )

Refreshing Piece Of Death Metal - 90%

Supreme Pain an up and coming band from the Netherlands have surprised the death metal community with this flawless release. I must say going into this album with huge anticipation as they were quickly snapped up by Comatose Music in 2007.


First off you can tell by the song titles and the long length tracks that this is well thought out piece of art. Then as you listen, the breakdowns, drum beats and blasts with the crushing guitars and finally the rough growl of Aad Kloosterwaard thumping down your ear you know this is going to be an album for the top 10 list.


Secondly, the production is well produced hearing every nock and cranny in the studio. The drums sit back but still you can hear them as the damaging race of blasts and slow breakdowns reach out and grab you like a lion on the plains of Africa killing a gazelle. The guitars are distorted but not to distort, with each note and scale brought out in the mist of carnage. The vocals are put at the right level to hear the words and each breathe that helps for the enjoyment of this album.


Furthermore, the technicality that this band has is immense. The guitars, although I am not a guitarist myself, sound awesome with fast solos and rampaging riffs that bring out the darkness in their conciseness. The drums are well developed throughout the album with the drummer being technicality affined with a 4/4 beat but changing within songs to make it listenable and creative. Also, the vocals are carefully thought and aggressively put out to the audience.


Finally, this album is a must have for fans that love creative, technical (but not too much) and fast music. It contains something for every death metal fan with quotes, pauses, tension and of course blasts. All what a fan needs!
