"This Vomitory CD is one of the greatest Death Metal Albums ever, and I own a lot of Death Metal. There's no funny stuff here, just brutal uncompromising Death. Over half the songs have blast beats within the first 30 seconds. The guitars are played very aggressively, with technicality shunned in favor of pure ferocity. I can't stop listening to this CD. It makes me want to start a Vomitory cover band..."

"...Well I can tell you that this album is AWESOME! The best description I can think of for this album for those of you not familiar with these guys would be the following: Machine Head (Burn My Eyes) + Witchery (Symphony for the Devil) + Sinister (Cross The Styx) = Vomitory (Revelation Nausea). This album has one of the GREATEST and most perfect blends of metal styles that I can't listen to it enough.You'll notice that in my description I list Machine Head and Witchery, two bands known (at least originally) for their phenomenal thrash styles, yet Vomitory is a death metal band. All I can say is that you'd have to listen to this disc to understand. The riffing and song structures are very similar to old Machine Head and Witchery's recent album "Symphony for the Devil", yet the vocals and drumming styles, particularly the emphasis on the tell-tale snare drum pounding so indicative of death metal, are without a doubt brutal death metal. This album also doesn't skimp when it comes to song length, because most of the songs on this album are at least approximately 4 minutes or more in length. The best song on this album by FAR is "Beneath The Soil", although other phenomenal, standout tracks are "The Corpsegrinder Experience", "The Art of War" and "Chapter of Pain". Awesome stuff. The only possible downside is that the vocals are put a little bit too much into the background, but the other instruments are so superb that this really doesn't detract much from the music. Check this out if you're a fan of death metal and thrash."

Death metal ain't dead, and this band is my proof.

"In a world where a lot of the old Death metal masters have well, died (Death, Obituary, Coroner, Malevolent creation, Dismember, and Entombed to name a few), it's nice to hear bands like Vomitory, Fleshcrawl, Kataklysm, Benediction, and Bolt thrower who are still holding down the fort when it comes to quality Death metal. There's nothing groundbreaking here but that doesn't mean it's not worth listening to. Like all of the bands mentioned above these guys play no nonsense, heavily Thrash influenced Death metal that doesn't sound braindead and uninspired like Cannibal corpse, Nile, Embalmer, Red harvest, Mortician, Origin, Skinless, Suffocation, Broken hope, and plenty of others who have saturated the scene. The Europeans know how to do it right. They play brutal music that sounds fresh and interesting, even after several listens. The guitars have a crunch reminiscent of Dismember's "Like an everflowing stream" which definetly is a plus for me. The rest of the band members perform their duties well. I'd have to say that my favorite song off of the album is "Beneath the soil". Get this album if you're looking for raw, propulsive Death metal."
