Influenced by
several sources, to include Cannibal Corpse, Deicide, and a touch of black
metal, Arizona’s Vehemence has brought a death metal symphony to the table in
‘God Was Created.’ Incorporating several techniques that death metal bands
nowadays have a habit of disregarding (to include acoustic guitars and a
pianist, no less), Vehemence taps into a new concept: Christ as a state of mind,
able to enrage, possess and control humanity on an individual level. Don’t think
for a moment that this is a happy, pleasant album. Nathan Gearhart brings a
violent timbre to his vocals as he tells the story of the murderous tirade
caused by a mental domination of Christ. It may seem a little confusing at
first, but there’s no mistake: Vehemence shows no love for the god within us
all.Read More...
The only EP to make our top 100 list of Death Metal Albums, Worm Infested delivers the death
despite not being a full album. New songs such as "Systematic Elimination"
and the title track "Worm Infested"
provide the violence and gore to satisfy every undead appetite. A few excellent cover tracks of classic metal tracks by Accept,
Possessed, and Metallica show Cannibal Corpse acknowleding their roots, while the remake of
"The Undead Will Feast" shows the band can take their already extreme music to
unimaginable levels of violence and brutality.
