Co.- Ed Killer

Goreopsy's self titled release "Co. Ed Killer" is a decent album but at the same time not very pleasing. While the guitar work is fast and brutal the overall production of the album is very poor. First of all the instruments are all thrown in the background as very lame ass growls kick in. Basically all the spotlight is focused on the vocals. In other music this may be okay, but it's a turn off in death metal.

When it comes down to it this album is a very poor start off for goreopsy. Reminds me much of Cock and Ball Torture, lame vocals over drowned out guitars and drumming. It's a pain to listen to. Much like disgorge's Cranial Impalement(or what i've heard of it), even though Disgorge was able to learn from their mistake and come back with consume the forsaken. The instruments on this album are very good but they are really hard to make out most of the time.

Though the riffs aren't extremely technical it's still good brutal death metal. I prefer it that way rather than the band wanking off with repetitve 'technical' riffs like necrophagist has done. It's just plain brutal and perfect for this band. After a while the vocals get more digestable but they are still lame compared to other death metal bands. Goreopsy is not a contender for a good debut, maybe next time. This album was poor mostly do the vocals and production. The rest is great. :)
