Brutal Death Metal that is actually consistent

"See, fellow Death Metalheads. This is what Death Metal should sound like. Death Metal played brutally and harshly while being consistent at the same time. One of Holland's (The Netherlands) bands is getting better with this second album, Misanthropic Carnage. Severe Torture exemplifies this fact. With lyrics full of gory fun, this band knows how to play their instruments well, unlike Cannibal Crock. Ultra-deep growling, insane blastbeating, and overwhelming guitar riffs sum up this album. There are some songs that have outstanding guitar half-solos in the midsection of the vein. The best (and my most favorite) song of this album is Your Blood Is Mine. There are also three bonus tracks featured in this album and the production of these songs are almost clearly refined in a good way. These songs are just as excellent as all the others in this album.



Whoever says that Severe Torture sounds like Cannibal Corpse is an absolute nincompoop. Severe Torture is nowhere near the abysmal level of Cannibal Crock plus they are several times better than CC.



Long live Holland Death Metal and all good Death Metal in particular!!! \M/\M/

Sorry about my comments about you, Cotton Hell. You may not like Malevolent Creation's "Envenomed" CD but I sure do."
