Expurgate - Dementia Tremens

An awesome artwork from the exquisite artist Kahori Takeda can only have a positive preconception on the outcome of a CD release!! On buying, reviewing or even downloading it! And of course that preconception couldn't be wrong when we are talking about the first full length from the xtreme brutalers Expurgate from Denver, Colorado! But before we move on to the main cursing and harsh talking here, let's get one thing straight! If you are waiting to hear something you've never heard, and experience a new aspect on how death metal should be played, stop reading now. This band won't give you what you came looking for. Now for the rest that stayed and are obviously viewing brutal death metal as a brutal party were everyone contributes what he's got, from beer to music, trust me… You're gonna love these perverts from the States! Extremity at its best and apparently those guys like their soup brutal! From Fleshgrind, to Devourment, to Suffocation, to Cannibal Corpse and all the way back! Brutality is going to fill the room spewing from your speakers once you get on with this bad boy here! Slow muddy and palm muted riffs covering a wild double kick drum, succeed a blasting nightmare that ends up with some nice gurgling vocals and some pretty good inhales also. Of course the bass guitar is heavier than a bulldozer capable enough to drop down a 70 floor skyscraper!

You think I exaggerate? Not at all lads, this one is a little killer! The boys know how to play their instruments and obviously how to construct a brutal song equivalent to the most powerful C4 explosion!! Guts all around. Spinal cords flying in the air, eyeballs on the ground and Expurgate just won't stop the mutilation until the timer showed 23-25 minutes after they started! That's right ladies and gentlemen. It takes only 23 minutes for a nice and cheerful place to turn into a gruesome site of mutilation! For those who wanna bitch about not listening to something new, or production shit or this and that, just one line: Wake up dickheads, it is brutal death metal! 

Everything is accepted as long as it is served brutal, in your face and without any mercy! I mean that's what is all about! Production couldn't be better. Every instrument can be heard clearly and on top there's a thick layer of mud, blood and piss. So thick that makes you wanna vomit once you smell it! Which means that the guys did a good job. Now if in all this we add the fact that this is the debut album of those lunatics, and before that they only offered two demos, you can understand that this is a hell of a start for those dudes that may be young as a band but they have experienced members who also played in Cerebral Incubation, Intracranial Butchery and some other seriously demented brutal death metal bands! For the romantic ones out there who seek the lyrical direction of the band I must say that those guys breathe and live through romance, as their lyrics cover themes as gruesome murders, human madness, dismemberments, dislocated shoulders and stuff like that! Titles like 'Viscera Insuffulation' and 'Repugnant Torso Defilement' will convince you! You don't need more than that trust me! 

Expurgate are here in 2013 to show people what brutal death metal means for them. They are here to pass the word of brutality! And in my tiiiiny opinion the serve that cause just fine! Wouldn't need more, wouldn't need less! An awesome start that leaves promises for only better continuation on their course!
