Reviews for Down From the Wound's Agony Through Rituals of Self Purification
Some Quality Brutal Death - 95%
Written by Ape_Killer on August 19th, 2008
Let's face it. This is brutal death metal. It's slow, it's stupid, and it
doesn't do anything that's going to revolutionize the metal music industry. What
it does do though, is make you want to bash your head into a wall, and I mean
that in the most positive way possible.
These guys lay down some of the thickest, most brutal riffs you can find. The
vocalist is a monster, issuing intensely deep gutturals like nothing and doing
it in a way that actually works well with the songs, as opposed to grinding
against it. It sounds like the lyrics were actually written as if they were
another instrument, fitting in with and adding to the landscape created by the
music behind them. And the drummer can blast with the best of them. Together,
all these aspects add up to some of the most sickest brutal slam around.
The only negative thing that can be said about this album is that many of the
songs having nothing memorable about them. They all sound very similar. Though
some may say that is a good thing, because they all sound similarly awesome!
I can't imagine a brutal death/slam fan who wouldn't enjoy this album. Highly
recommended

wild slam brutal death - 75%
Written by bassbrutality on May 19th, 2008
Brutality sounds better if it is from the Third World. Most of my extreme metal
albums of this kind come from Colombia (this way I also wash my narcodollars,
but this is not what we're talking about), but I also save a place for the
brutalities from the far and mysthic Asian Southeast. I appreciate very much the
reknown Jasad or the unfairly understimated Dirty Infamous, and here I have a
new piece of brutal death to add.
This Philippine trio's' Piercing through the veil of lies' demo did already
suggest how much they were worth, and their debut album confirms it. 'Agony
through rituals of self purification' is a wild album of slam brutal death which
recalls of some slower Soils of Fate or more technical Heinous Killings.
Production is more than correct, the guitar surprises us for its definition and
'cleanness' (it does not carry too much distortion blurring the riffs ala
Devourment, a band not to follow in the production aspect ). Drums play between
blast beats / gravities and the slower moshing rhythms. The vocalist uses a deep
guttural for the main lines and a higher peg squeal to add some variety.
It's impossible not to bang your head to the rhythm of these songs. If I did not
know where this band is from, I'd bet my Clean Flesh cd they were from
California. Well I would I had it. Anyway, it 's clear Sevared Records has done
quite right by signing this band.
Oh, their demo is released as a bonus at the end of the cd, so you have 52
minutes of slamming sickness in a single disc. Like IB used to say, total
fucking slam!
