Death metal band from Baltimore, MD, US.

The debut album by the Brutal Slamming Death, or if you will, "multi-death" genre'd band Visceral Disgorge. I dont think I've ever heard a band that mixes multiple genres as good as this one does. A 3-in-1 package? Yes please!
Back when I wasnt that deep into slam/bdm I used to avoid this album because I thought it was one of the shitty bands, but eventually I gave it a try, and wow.... this just blew me away. Mix brutal death metal, slam, and deathcore, and this is what you get, and it's not bad either. The way this band mixes the three genres together is very great, and they did a great job on this album, that's definitely for sure.
The main factor that keeps this album all together is the drums, that fucking snare! The snare drum sound is one of the best I've ever heard in brutal death metal, perfect drums right here! Aside from the perfect snare, the fills are outstanding. Specifically on Sedated and Amputated; the track starts off with that patterned drum fill, and it's no doubt one of the best fills, if not the best drum fill I've ever heard in my entire life. Sedated and Amputated is definitely my favorite track off this album along with the first track, but the reason why Sedated is my favorite is because of that drum fill right when the song starts. Think of the fill like sex industry; sex sells, fills sell.
The guitars are great, good tremolo picking with lots of high notes and little sections to top everything off. The vocals go along perfectly with the drums too, similar to your average rap/hip hop beat. All the slams here are on point. Extremely catchy and very ear-grabby. The vocals also add a good feeling to all the music as well. The guitars have a deathcore feel, but they also have brutal death vibes too? I dont know how to describe the guitars but all I'll say is that they sound top-notch, and they're an absolute eargasm indeed. All the musical/instrumental factors are at the highest ability, this band doesnt fuck around when it comes to quality.
The music on this record is honestly (kinda) ahead of its time, there wasn't a big amount of albums like this that fused brutal death, deathcore, and slam this good and advanced until this one came out. The structures of the songs and the songwriting skill is magnificent, its pretty clear they took lots of time on each and every song considering the average song length is 5 minutes long.
This album is good as fuck but sometimes the length can be a little of an issue. Your average brutal death album is between 20-35 minutes long, and this one is 45 minutes. This is pretty long for an album like it is, but it's alright. The band did put time and effort into each and every song; considering how long they each are. The more you get into this album the less you'll care about the lengthiness. When you're in the mood you'll listen to the whole thing.
Other than the music, the main reason why I'm very impressed by this album is that this is their debut album. God damn, such an impressive debut album for a band to start off with. This is some self-defining shit right here, and Visceral Disgorge is showing that they have the talent to do what they do.
If you enjoy death metal in general, or are trying to find some more good stuff to listen to, I recommend that you try out this album. It gives you tons of variety. Definitely a "fresh ass" album if you ask me.
