Vomitheist - Graveyard Flesh Orgy (2018)


What a name for an album. The song titles are some real keepers as well ("Corroded by Acid" is my favorite, while "Nailgun Rampage" would make a great movie title, and "Slimewalker" would make a great band name). The Swiss band Vomitheist play Old School Swedish Death Metal like it was meant to be seen and heard. Just straight up putrid and vile, with violent nasty riffs, played with a manic frenzy. If you're a fan of the Stockholm sound (famous for it's use of the Boss HM-2 pedal), then you're gonna love this shit. I really don't care about the haters out there, because it's a trend I have not grown tired of it. It's such a tried and true sound, because it's so fucking raw and disgusting. It's no wonder it gets used for various sub genres outside of Death Metal.
However, just because you sound great doesn't mean you need to skimp on the riffs, and these dudes do not disappoint. Fall off the bone meaty riffs are strewn throughout, and spewed forth with the intensity of guts and body parts being thrown into a wood chipper, and shot out raining gore on a parade of the evil undead. As they feast on the rotten remains, let this album serve as the proper dinner music for it's carnage and butchery are comparable. It's short and sweet, but it gets the job done, and is a quick fix if you're craving some HM-2 worship at it's filthiest. Definitely worth your time. Cheers! -Samir
