Demented brutal death metal like Mortician, Disgorge and Spain’s Christ Denied featuring past and present members of Disgorge and Cattle Decapitation. The three-way vocal interaction by Disgorge vocalist Levi Fuselier, former Cattle Decapitation drummer Dave Astor and guitarist/bassist Tim Tiszczenko is enjoyable but hardly revolutionary. The majority of the album is fast-paced death metal with thick riffing, varied drumming and tons of groove. Pathology tends to wander in Devourment territory whenever they slow down a little. The threeway vocal assault is guttural at best and loses its intended effect due to the three vocalists sounding too much alike. Generally the vocals are spewed out monotonously and some more adventurous vocal lines would be beneficial for Pathology. In delivery and execution this reminds a lot of the American Disgorge in its wielding of blunt force riffs, undecipherable vocals and primal grooves while conceptually this is more down the line of Mortician or (early) Carcass. The lack of leads/solos and recognizable hooks isn’t really felt as the material much too savage in its primitive brutality. This follow-up to 2006’s “Surgically Hacked” comes with stunning artwork, design and lay-out by Mike Hrubovcak (Divine Rapture, Monstrosity, Vile) from Visual Darkness Design. Pathology aren’t exactly refined or innovative in any way or form but if you like primitive death metal with demented clinical themes “Incisions Of Perverse Debauchery” will deliver what you expect.
