Hard to believe that this British death metal release was so overlooked back in good ol' blighty in 1991. Due to a clogged scene and hordes of band's scrambling for Dan Seagrave's masterful artwork, Desecrator got left by the way side but it's wasn't for the want of trying because this is a fine slab of guttural death metal. Fuzzy, down-tuned guitars, miserable low-end vocals and some truly catchy segments make this an essential purchase for anyone who collects old school extreme metal. Extremely heavy throughout one cannot argue with the no thrills joy this opus brings whether in the form of 'The Suffering' and its blustery intro, the squalid 'Repressive Acceptance' or the silted glory of 'Ineffectual Condition,' this is one death metal that decades later still rumbles the knee-caps and I can't recommend this concrete slab enough. So if you like chunky death metal that's not too technical but the likes which will fill your ears with dirt then grab hold of this.
8/10
