Debodified - Utopia In The Eyes of a Beast - 100%

kd, May 17th, 2004

Kick-ass death metal from the tobacco-infested lands of the Carolinas! Boy, oh boy, after hearing Lust of Decay, I thought they were the best that the Carolinas had to offer, but I was wrong, folks. Lust of Decay is a pretty similar band to in sound, especially when you look at the fact that the two bands share drummer Jordan Varela. And my goodness is he a beast behind the kit, with tons of excellent fills, and they don't get monotonous at times like they do on LoD's Infesting The Exhumed.

This band has some heavy-ass riffs, a nice slam here and there (at around 1:58 on "Instinct For Malevolence" = Intimidatingly heavy/brutal), but the riffs wouldn't sound nearly as good if it weren't for the fills. The band has an intro with Adolf Hitler speaking at the beginning of "Terminated With Extreme Prejudice", and while I normally would look down upon this, I suck it up and again the music in all of its aggressiveness.

All in all, this a kick-ass brutal DM album with fast brutal drumming, some good breakdowns, a few leads, and above average vox. Highly recommended!
