Style: Death Metal

Death metal can be a bit of an acquired taste. It’s not the sort of sub-genre that people generally have passing interest in. Rather, the death metal community tends to be a devoted and passionate bunch. The lyrics might be incomprehensible, but it’s not about that. It’s about a healthy outlet for aggression, and dazzling, technical musicianship. Embryonic Devourment understands this. The name is appropriately offensive, the sleeve art is gloriously gore-soaked, and the music is utterly brutal. There’s a total and graphic abhorrence for authority on songs such as “Murder of the Ancients” and “It Began With Lizards,” that should appeal to rebellious metal-heads young and old.
