Reviews list for Abhorrency - Climax of Disgusting Impurities (2022)

It is not news to anyone that I loves me some nasty, blackened death metal.  I lap that fetid shit up, chomping on the meatier parts with a vigour rivalled only by my cat when she is annihilating the random fish head treats that she gorges upon each morning.  Whilst she is in the kitchen having her daily treat I am up in my lair blasting the fuck out of California's Abhorrency.  Yet another Maggot Stomp label discovery, this three piece celebrate three-years of existence with a debut full-length that is riddled with all manner of vile impurities, from sickening blastbeats to perverse, slobbering vocal exchanges that sound like the caverns of Hades themselves being expunged of their hellish phlegm, Climax of Disgusting Impurities lives up to its name for all thirty-two minutes of its run time.

Do not think it all just mindless bludgeoning here.  Abhorrency mix up the tempo and pace here to truly emphasise the horror of their existence.  Whilst that wall of noise continues to present itself in all its terrifying glory there are slower passages here that seem to prolong the torture for us all, to highlight that there is some thought and calculation behind all of this.  The palate cleanser that is track six that sounds like a palate cleanser done with Ebola is proof of the measuring of the nasty intent behind this record. Yes it is Archgoat-ugly and Portal-chaotic but there is more here to expand the impact of Climax of Disgusting Impurities.  In short, this climax keeps on going for a whole half hour.
