When I fucken saw this promo coming up in my review queue, I frankly felt like stuffing my ears and taking that long overdue nap. Can you fucken blame me, asswipe? A band called Disfigurement (truly fucken creative) and an EP called "Soul Rot" (two random words put together. Fucken deep, guys. For reals). Odin knows the US death metal scene is really fucken pathetic, stagnant and creatively inert. Excuse me while I don’t fucken start jumping up and down in fucken excitement. Contrary to the lot of you, I have been fucken around the bend, and shit like this no longer excites me. It’s hard to fucken believe that death metal was actually, at one point, good. At least once every blue fucken moon there comes a fucken record to remind you that the genre still is legitimately good. What the fuck else is there? Oh yeah, this band is one of two fucken US acts called Disfigurement (the other one comes from San Antonio, Texas) and they debut with this fucken EP on Boris Records. Who? I know, dude. I never fucken heard of this stupid label before either. "Soul Rot" is a lot of things, but it mostly is fucken good. Which is fucken rare in itself cos death metal at this point is as much of a joke as black metal. Just saying. Odin knows good death metal is fucken hard to come by, so it is a joy to have a band like this. If a Stockholm and Florida death metal band ever got into a fight, it would result in something like this. Which is to say, this sounds like a lot like old Malevolent Creation ("The Ten Commandments") and, say, old Necrophobic in terms of fucken vocals. Oh yeah, you can hear the fucken bass guitar too, and there’s plenty of fiery solo’ing. I’m fucken impressed. No, really. I don’t fucken particularly care who is in this band, or where this EP was recorded – cos honestly… who the fuck cares?! All I can fucken say is: sign me up for more of this cos this is better than the fucken majority of modern day death metal, old school or otherwise, and shit. Which isn’t saying a lot, cos every two bit scumbag with a guitar is working on their own little fucken death metal project. I bet you a case of beer some dumb schmuck right now is contemplating compiling that promo mail of his/her "must-hear" and "critically acclaimed" studio band. Acclaimed by fucken who? Your moms? She’s just fucken embarrassed she had you, you fucken asshole. Fuck you, and whoever you conned into producing your piece of shit little record this time. Fuck whichever basement label "contracted" your crappy band. I hope I never live to hear it. That aside, "Soul Rot" is pretty good. Not something you’ll lose sleep over, or something that will make you loved with the girls. Just saying. For death metal it could have been a lot fucken worse. So yeah, good EP from a band that is probably waiting to drive around the country in a dingy van, to sleep in parkings and on dirty floors. You know, to play in stinking divebars to five or ten fucken illiterate and semi-retarded tools. Yeah, "support the underground" and all that shit. It might excite you, it no longer does anything for me. I need a beer. I’m fucken outta here.
