Forgotten Woods - As The Wolves Gather
|
| A Sonic Odyssey in Darkness: A Bad Taste Review of Forgotten Woods' "As The Wolves Gather" |
|
|
Gather 'round, disciples of the abyss! Today, let's delve into the haunting depths of Forgotten Woods' "As The Wolves Gather." The vocals, oh the vocals, a unique manifestation of darkness that resonates with the very essence of the blackened realms. The tortured cries and abyssal growls are not mere sounds; they are incantations, a summoning of spirits from the shadowed dimensions.
As we traverse this auditory labyrinth, the vocals stand as a haunting beacon, guiding us through the desolate landscapes painted by the instrumentation. The uniqueness lies not only in the guttural depths but in the spectral nuances that evoke a profound sense of despair and transcendence. It's as if the vocalist is a conduit to the netherworld, channeling the primordial echoes of forgotten entities.
The symbiosis between the vocals and the instrumental symphony creates an atmosphere both chilling and sublime. Each track unfolds like a chapter in a forbidden grimoire, narrated by the otherworldly voice that seems to beckon listeners into the abyss. The juxtaposition of anguish and transcendence in the vocal delivery is nothing short of an auditory ritual, a communion with the cosmic void.
In "As The Wolves Gather," Forgotten Woods has woven a tapestry of sonic malevolence, and the vocals serve as the ethereal thread that binds the listener to the arcane narrative. It's an opus that transcends the mortal realm, leaving an indelible mark on the blackened canvas of the metal abyss.
As we bask in the shadows cast by these unholy hymns, let the vocals be the spectral guide that leads us deeper into the abyss, where forgotten echoes resonate eternally.

Impetigo - Ultimo Mondo Cannibale
|
| Tracks 1, 2, 3 and 6, 7... Amazing Impetigo! |
|
|
Track 1: "Maggots"
Whoa, starting off with a bang! "Maggots" hits like a rotten corpse falling off a slab. The guitar riffs are as chunky as a zombie's breakfast, and those guttural vocals? Pure death metal bliss. Perfect for headbanging, even if you've had a few too many.
Track 2: "Dis-Organ-Ized"
Ah, "Dis-Organ-Ized" – the perfect soundtrack for a drunken stumble through a graveyard. The tempo changes keep you on your toes, just like trying to walk in a straight line after one too many beers. The lyrics? Gruesome, of course! Classic Impetigo.
Track 3: "Intense Mortification"
Now we're talking! "Intense Mortification" is like a sonic slaughterhouse. The drumming is relentless, and those guitar solos? They cut through the air like a chainsaw through flesh. I might be drunk, but this song sobers me up with its intensity.
Track 6: "Bloody Pit of Horror"
"Bloody Pit of Horror" – the name says it all. This song feels like you're trapped in a grindhouse nightmare. The drum blasts hit like machine gun fire, and the guitars? They're like a swarm of angry wasps. I can almost smell the gore just listening to it.
Track 7: "Dear Uncle Creepy"
"Dear Uncle Creepy" slows it down a bit, but don't be fooled – it's still heavy as hell. The lyrics are like a love letter to all things creepy and macabre. It's the kind of song you sway to drunkenly, raising your beer in tribute to the horror gods.
In summary, Ultimo Mondo Cannibale is a gore-soaked masterpiece that's perfect for any metalhead with a taste for the macabre, especially when you're a bit tipsy. Each track is a gruesome delight, and if you're not headbanging by the end of it, you're probably already a zombie. Stay metal, stay drunk, and keep it gory! \m/

Pungent Stench - Masters Of Moral Servants Of Sin
|
| The album felt somewhat formulaic |
|
|
As a die-hard fan of Pungent Stench, I approached "Masters Of Moral, Servants Of Sin" with high hopes, fueled by the anticipation of the band's trademark raw energy and dark humor. However, I must admit, the album left me somewhat underwhelmed.
While it undeniably carries the band's signature gritty sound and twisted lyrics, there seemed to be a certain spark missing. The tracks, while decent, lacked the ferocity and creativity that I had come to expect from Pungent Stench. The album felt somewhat formulaic, as if they were sticking too closely to their comfort zone without exploring new territories within their music.
That being said, there were moments of brilliance scattered throughout, reminding me of the band's undeniable talent. The visceral guitar riffs and guttural vocals still sent shivers down my spine, but these instances were unfortunately overshadowed by a sense of déjà vu.
In the grand scope of Pungent Stench's discography, "Masters Of Moral, Servants Of Sin" might not be their strongest offering. Die-hard fans like myself might find solace in a few tracks that echo the band's glory days, but overall, the album feels like a missed opportunity to push their boundaries and surprise their loyal fanbase.
In the end, my disappointment doesn't tarnish my unwavering admiration for the band; every artist has their peaks and valleys. Here's to hoping for a resurgence of the macabre brilliance that made me a die-hard fan in the first place in their future endeavors.

Pungent Stench - Been Caught Buttering
|
| Listening to it at a low volume is not acceptable |
|
|
Oh guys, where do I even begin with Pungent Stench's "Been Caught Buttering"? It's like a drunken stumble through the dark alleys of metal, with a side order of morbid humor and a sprinkle of insanity.
Picture this: you're at a wild metal party, and someone hands you a rusty chainsaw instead of a beer. That's the kind of delightful madness "Been Caught Buttering" embodies. The album hits you like a sledgehammer made of giggles and gore.
From the very first riff, you're slapped in the face with riffs so heavy they could crush a tank, all wrapped up in lyrics that are as subtle as a brick to the face. The title track itself feels like a bizarre cooking show gone wrong, with lyrics that are as twisted as your grandma's sense of humor after a bottle of moonshine.
And oh, the album cover! It's like a Picasso painting on acid, with a touch of gore and a dash of absurdity. You can't help but stare at it, wondering if the artists were on something stronger than coffee when they drew it.
In summary, "Been Caught Buttering" is a metal masterpiece that's not for the faint-hearted. It's a drunken joyride through a carnival of chaos, a musical experience that'll leave you laughing, headbanging, and questioning your life choices – all at the same time. So grab a beer (or two, or three), crank up the volume, and let Pungent Stench take you on a wild, hilarious, and slightly disturbing ride you won't forget, even if you wanted to. Cheers to metal madness! \,,/

Diving into In The Woods' album "Omnio" is a deeply rewarding journey into the heart of progressive and atmospheric metal. Released in 1997, "Omnio" stands as a testament to the band's innovative spirit, pushing the boundaries of metal into unexplored realms of musical expression.
From the very first track, "Omnio?," the listener is enveloped in a haunting atmosphere, where ethereal melodies seamlessly blend with powerful guitar riffs and intricate drum patterns. The album's sonic landscape is rich and diverse, ranging from moments of melancholic introspection to explosive bursts of energy.
The intricate songwriting and poetic lyricism create a sense of profound introspection, drawing the listener into a world of existential contemplation. Tracks like "299 796 km/s" showcase the band's ability to seamlessly merge atmospheric passages with intense metal riffing, creating a dynamic and immersive experience. The haunting vocals, alternating between clean and harsh, add layers of complexity to the album, enhancing its emotional depth.
One of the standout features of "Omnio" is its ability to create vivid imagery through music. Each track feels like a sonic painting, with meticulous attention to detail. The use of unconventional instruments and ambient elements further enhances the album's unique identity, making it a true masterpiece in the realm of avant-garde metal.
In summary, "Omnio" by In The Woods is a captivating and introspective musical odyssey that transcends the boundaries of traditional metal. Its innovative approach to composition, coupled with deeply emotional lyrics and atmospheric soundscapes, makes it a timeless gem for any metal connoisseur. This album not only captures the essence of the progressive metal genre but also serves as a testament to the boundless creativity of the human spirit within the realm of heavy music.
