Obscenity/Atrophied In Anguish/Apostasy Records/2012 CD Review


  Obscenity  are  a  band  from  Germany  that  has  a  history  going  back  more  than  20  years  with  a  musical  style  I  would  describe  as  being  heavy  brutal  gore/death  metal  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  2012  album  "Atrophied  In  Anguish" which  was  released  by  Apostasy  Records.

  Drums  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  drumming  with  a  great  amount  of  brutal  sounding  blast  beats  being  thrown  into  the  music,  while  the  bass  playing  has  a  very  dark  tone  with  riffs  that  follow  the  riffing  that  is  coming  out  of  the  guitars  and  at  times  they  have  a  very  powerful  sound  to  them.

  Rhythm  guitars  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  death  metal  riffs  that  are  very  heavy  and  brutal  sounding  with  some  dark  sounding melodies  being  thrown  into  the  riffing,  while t he  lead  guitars  are  very  technical  and  melodic  sounding  death  metal  guitar  solos  and  leads.

  Vocals  range  from  deep  death  metal growls  to  high  pitched  screams,  while  the  lyrics  cover  violence,  hateful  and  gore  themes,  as  for  the  production  it  has  a  very  strong,  powerful,  heavy  and  professional  sound  to  it.

  In  my  opinion  Obscenity  are  a  very  great  sounding  brutal  death  metal  band  and  if  you  are  a  fan of  this  style  of  music,  you  should  check  out  this  album.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Erase  The  Divine"  "Swine  To  The  Slaughter"  "Neurotic  Frenzy"  and  "Hysterical  Illusion".  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
