Abraded - Abraded (2021)^{Release ID: 36951}

If the album artwork was not clue enough, Abraded play butt-fuck ugly death metal in the vein of pretty much all of Maggot Stomp’s roster. Not content with the bludgeoning best of what death metal has to offer, the Cleveland based trio throw lots of grinding goodness into the mix as well. Things somehow sound clean as a whistle in some places though, despite a filthy production job that gives the requisite levels of grime you would expect, the d-beats that thump away at you brain might as well be in the same room as you when you are listening.

Grisly and vile vocals rasp over mining riffs and rumbling bass lines to give the whole experience a complete feel. At only twenty-minutes long it is over all too quickly and you feel too fetid to put it back on without showering first. Put your scruffs on, this one’s a real platter of splatter guys!  Ugly, extreme and straight to the fucking point!  Fuck yeah!
