Sepsism - To Prevail in Disgust

Crushed Into Wimpblivion... - 87%

Black_Hole, November 7th, 2005

...Reads the note on the teabag around the toes of the wimps foolish enough to take this offering lightly. What Sepsism have done here is surprise me with an offering that chocks enough br00tality to gag a particularly fortuitous maggot, and enough technicality to satisfy my tech death tooth (which is particularly difficult to satisfy), into one extremely entertaining album.

A note for future listeners, the guitars aren’t going to wow you with virtuoso style offerings, nor are they going to surprise you with range or versatility, so don't be looking for apples on a pineapple tree. However, what you have in this offering, is a steady grinding, chugging variant of tempo changes that will leave you enthralled as to how anything this raw and ill-toned can be brought together so nicely and leave your skull bruised from massive embludgeonment via stop tempo riffage. Do not get me wrong, there is metamorphosis displayed in the murky grinding depths of this album, very subtle changes that remind me of the brash, tattered feel of the New York Death Metal scene portrayed perfectly by this California group.
