The Ravenous - Assembled In Blasphemy (2000)


I love gore metal bands, particularly those, like Autopsy, Abscess and Impetigo who know how to slow it down so that you can see the offal dripping from their lips and every other rotten orifice. The Blasphemy are no exception because they feature Chris Reifert from Autopsy plus Killjoy from Necrophagia and bass legend Dan Lilker, ex-Brutal Truth and Nuclear Assault.

The Ravenous are the new gods of gore, flailing limbs, weeping sores, infested wombs, decomposed corpses, fizzened tissue, and murderous zombies, played for horror sakes behind a rusty cell of psychotic wails, clanking chains, dripping bass and fetid excrement. As expected the lyrics are pure filth, and the music, although not as watery as Autopsy, provides the listener with an honest mass of gory, blubbering sickness.

7/10
