This is a sick release but the Symphonic deal will date it.
I am enjoying it but am leery of the symphonic thing, hating a mix of orchestral and Metal in general. I’m afraid this thing might go into the storage box after a while.

“Degenerating Anthropophagical Euphoria”

reminds me of Dripping’s “disintegration of thought patterns during a synthetic mind altering bliss”

Someone I know summed this album up nicely….

Everything wrong with death metal in one tidy package.

Putridity Degenerating Anthropophagical Euphoria is the best brutal death metal album of 2011.

So, just want to make sure I understand: you really like this album???

Just kidding. Great review, and your enthusiasm certainly makes me want to check it out.

Cheers…

Sounds like a Danny Elfman movie score with blastbeats over the top…Mafia was great, this shit sucks.

I’m with Caluricaune on this. On paper it sounds like it could be interesting but listening to this I hear a potentially strong death metal album haphazardly meshed up with the Casio Orchestra. The classical elements clutter up the mix of their already very busy sound and quickly becoming terribly distracting.

I like this, but I think I prefer the more naked brutality of the debut. The Dimmu Borgir-like orchestration, while enjoyable, it’s a bit too over-the-top and gimmicky for my taste.

Commands your attention with a hot poker to the brain stem, and leaves you in a state of euphoric musical enlightenment.

Posted on the fb link, just wanted to reiterate.

I thought Mafia was stellar, but this is waaaaay too symphonic for my taste. So imho Origin is still on top for the best death metal album of 2011.

Glowing review, Erik.

I absolutely loved the Mafia EP and had no idea that this was even coming out. Having just watched the video – twice – I’m floored. If the rest of the album is half as good as this single, this is a real monster.

Off to order!

I’ve been listening to this album non-stop for a week now, it is just brilliant death metal, the best combination of brutal music and orchestration ever made! Like you, this album will probably end up as my #1 album for 2011, I just can’t imagine what could top that?!

Couldnt agree more with this review man.. This album is nothing if not death metal perfection.
Just the way everything is incorporated is mind blowing.
This is gonna be a hard one to top as album of the year.
