Desecration – Cemetery Sickness (2014)

November 18, 2023

Cut up and fed to the dog!

The difference between Desecration and many other death metal bands riding on the cheeky / fun / silly / gross subject matter train is that Desecration are actually really fucking great, and Cemetery Sickness is no exception. Everything here is razor sharp and on-point; riffs, vocals and drums (man, the drums!)

Speaking of the vocals, there’s a bit more of a range here than usual, which is always nice. There’s some guesties thrown in too, for good measure. The overall production sound, although similar to the previous album, also breathes a bit more organically. The bass is clearly audible, clanking away beneath the insane percussion and maniacal riffage.

Fantastic stuff.
