Disgust -
Years of Torment
Released: 2004, Length: 43:45
Review: This is the self released, debut full length from Cambridge death metal band Disgust. First off let me say for a self released album this thing has really pro packaging and great production! They play a fairly old school style of death metal with plenty of good blasting and lots of chugging riffs. They've got some guitar solos which I personally usually don't care for, but they're well done and mix shit up nicely. The vocals take a bunch of different approaches, at times theres a trade off between standard growls and higher pitched shrieks, but then there are also some pretty sick gutturals and the occasional really high inhale (check out 2:09 on Negativity!) All aspects of this album definately have a lot of variation, so its definately something that demands a lot of listens. Theres a section on the song Years of Torment where they actually slow down this riff to almost a standstill then slowly speed it up thats really cool, and even more impressive live. Personally my highlights were some of the great, catchy chug riffs and some really good slammage, and of course those sick inhales when they come out. Also really love that Fear and Loathing intro on Illegal Consumption hehe. Favourite tracks for me were Shot in the Face, Negativity, and Illegal Consumption. Can't wait to hear more shit recorded by these guys, they're one of the bright spots of the ontario death scene!
Tracklist: 1. Shot in the Face 2. Self Hell 3. Hate With Hatred 4. Optical Vein 5. Negativity 6. A Penis Named Hate 7. Illegal Consumption 8. Sledgehammer Death 9. Necrophuck 10. Mug Shot 11. Years of Torment
