Some old school US death metal for your ear drums. Baphomet never set out to change the world, but maybe instead reduce it to rubble. Despite the continuous wave at the time of same sounding American death metal acts, Baphomet passed their exam on soul-shredding alone. Sure, it's horror-influenced metal from the grave, but there's something about that bassy sound, and the guttural growls which allow Baphomet to slip into the bloodstream a little easier than most. Sure, Cannibal Corpse oozed out a similar barbaric blood clot of a sound, but here we have a simplicity, something to get your teeth into. I'm a huge fan of that graveyard sound and many underrated acts have achieved cult status with is, Impetigo's blood-gurgling cannibalism, to Cancer's 'Death Shall Rise' dementia, and the early Gorefest. This is heavy, mid-paced death metal that will please any fan of Autopsy and the like also.
7/10
