Indecent Excision: Deification of the grotesque

16/01/12  ||  The Duff

Indecent Excision, an Italian two-piece band (one vocalist, one guitarist/bassist and a drum machine – unless ‘bass programming’ also means a bass machine) featuring vocal guest-appearances from Septycal Gorge, Putridity and Vomit the Soul. Expect “Deification of the Grotesque” to sound quite close to Putridity with occasional breakdowns that have that Infected Disarray tongue-in-cheekness to them but without the self-awareness.

Hannes (guitars) doesn’t have the mastery of dynamics that Putridity have – this is quite the typical technical brutal death metal record, but the filthy aesthetic is definitely in the Putridity vein making me appreciate this over the more clinical variety. As a final note, the number of samples on this record is absurd, some of them as long as forty seconds – some label intervention wouldn’t have gone amiss had Tom (the label’s manager) simply said “You dumb fucking cunt; do you really think this is what people want to spend their money on you film-buff loon?”.

Final gripe is they could use a real drummer if only for a second opinion because this has one-man project all over it. It would also help bringing life to the riffs which sound boxed in and quite monotonous as a result. Still, some great potential.

6/10: Lost points because of the grating samples.

After going thru that crap, you most likely wanna read something way more interesting. You do, admit it.
