Baphomet – The Dead Shall Inherit (1992)

January 6, 2022

Sometimes, album covers are so bad that they become good. This little ditty is one of them. Just look at that thing. Jeez. Anyways, don’t be fooled by the crummy cover painting, Baphomet’s The Dead Shall Inherit is a solid effort in early 90s dry’n’sludgy death metal dirgery (yeah I know, that’s not a word). The production is crisp like a freshly charred corpse, yet with the tunings hanging out down low where the corpses lie, we get some interesting interpretation of the Morrisound era production. That’s not to detract from the metal on display however, which is very well put together and is some genuinely good shit. A gem from off the beaten path, this.
