Two years after the release of their second album, Vomitor
has unleashed their third full length, entitled “The Escalation”. Those looking
for evolution and innovation should stop reading now, Vomitor plays old-school
alcohol drenched death metal exclusively. Falses; do not entry.
I'm not going to say much about this album, as this type of music speaks for itself, really. Vomitor’s sound is best described as a mix of early
Brazillian death/thrash a la early Sepultura and Sarcófago, “Obsessed by
Cruelty” era Sodom, (VERY early) Morbid Angel, early Metallica all drenched in a slathering of old-school Venom and Hellhammer
ugliness. These influences combine to produce a familiar yet unique sound.
There’s plenty of muddled feedback and noise in the guitar sound,
which adds a dimension of filth to the thrashing riffs and complements Death
Dealer’s barking rasps in a strangely satisfying manner. Also worth mentioning are the killer guitar
solos, courtesy of frontman Death Dealer and Portal axe-slinger Horror
Illogium, which sound straight out of 1986.
Once again Vomitor has delivered a killer album without
changing much at all and still managing not to sound repetitive or boring. Death
metal or diiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
