Putrid "Antichrist Above"

    Putrid’s new album, “Antichrist Above,” is an apocalyptic bludgeoning of blackened death metal straight from the depths below. These metal mercenaries from Lima, Peru unleash a relentless assault of venomous blasphemy that ferociously strikes without any remorse.

    The band conveys a savage musical mentality on each of the ten tracks, thus creating a chaotic world of angel ripping intensity. Musically, this is one of the band’s strongest releases to date, especially in terms of their solid musicianship. The guitar riffs come vividly blasting out through the speakers with a sinister edge and construct these pulverizing landscapes. Also, the drumming is extremely impressive and I like how the drum parts compliment the band’s all around deafening attack. When listening to the album you hear a solid group of musicians who were able to pull together their talents and effectively lay down some monstrous sounding extreme metal recordings.

    “Antichrist Above,” sees the band continuing their lyrical attack on organized religion similar to that of bands like Deicide, Morbid Angel, Malevolent Creation and Angelcorpse. With a now stronger musical arsenal behind them, the band’s onslaught against the holy church is one that metal fans will really find exciting. Songs like “Warfare in Golgotha” and “The Victory of the Trident,” launch right in an unholy flurry of gruesome sounding old school death metal carnage. Other tracks like, “The Corpse of the Messiah” and “The Great Serpent Await Us,” contain endless amounts of ear pummeling compositions and tormented death growls from unworldly abysses beyond.

    Out of all the songs off of the album, “Pig of Liars,” is definitely the one that stood out the most in my opinion. The overall atmosphere reminds of classic Celtic First where you feel as though you are being blanketed in a shroud of cold distorted slow moving darkness. The second to last track on the album, “Rotting Kingdom,” is another vicious cut of hellish proportions. These musicians play with such passion for extreme metal that the riffs do not sound gimmicky, or feel like they are recycled ideas from other death metal bands.

    Putrid’s newest album is going to be a release that you do not want to pass up, especially if you want some hard hitting no nonsense extreme metal music. “Antichrist Above,” is scheduled to come out March 13, so mark you calendars as that is also going to be Friday the 13th. What better day to unleash an extreme slaughter fest of musical insanity than on Friday the 13th…I’m sure Jason Voorhees would approve.
