This is gonna be the easiest review I’ll have to write in 2026.

It’s a Vomitory album.

Done.

I mean, of course I could flesh this thing out and ramble on about this being the band’s 9th album (11th if you count the Cut Up hiatus/ detour they band took after sort of breaking up back in 2011). And how their 9th album after the hiatus, 2023’s All Heads Are Gonna Roll, was like these Swedes never stopped.

I could cut and paste reviews of Blood Rapture or Primal Massacre, and talk about how this is 37 minutes and 10 songs of the same kind of no bull shit, no frills grindcore-tinged death metal that will appeal to fans of Lock Up as well as American death metal like Cannibal Corpse, as they don’t play your standard Swedish Death metal.

I might talk about the mix and master by Lawrence Mackrory (Baest, Bloodbath, Darkane, Defleshed, etc.), who also did All Heads Are Gonna Roll, and how fucking razor-sharp and clean it is.

I could then talk about how, from opener “Rapture in Rupture” to closer “Oblivion Protocol”, the album utterly rips with furiously relentless clamor. That tracks like “For For Gore and Country”, “Forever Scorned”, “Cataclysmic Fleshfront”, punky “Two and a Half Men”  and  “Erased in Red” (with an opening riff that could be one of Cannibal Corpse‘s signature slower songs) will rip your fucking face off.

I could even mention that the only departures are the slightly slower “Wrath Unbound” and parts of the title track and “The Zombie War General”.

Then I would wrap it up and say the closer “Oblivion Protocol” is an absolute fucking scorcher of a track that classic The Code is Red era Napalm Death fans would gobble up, and even has a killer melodic lead solo to end this utterly savage album.

But by then, I would have written a full review, so what’s the point?

…..fuck.
