STENCH OF DECAY “VISIONS BEYOND DEATH”. 2011 DETEST RECORDS.

By: Mike Abominator

Jesus titty fucking christ, you want to hear some heavy duty death metal? Stench of Decay are the band for you! Like the greats before them, mainly Convulse and Abhorrence, they have the Bolt Thrower gone evil sound down to a fucking T! Back in the day, the Finnish greats took the Scandinavian sound to a whole new level of heaviness and down tuned the fuck out of the guitars. There was NO sense of melody. So you had this down and dirty sewage death metal that flowed out of the speakers like a blob of murderous plague. These fuckers have that sound here on this 2 song masterpiece. Song one is “Vision Beyond Death” and it’s a slower to mid paced crusher/banger that prods along, and creeps around until it murders you slowly and with great rage. The band really DOES sound like Bolt Thrower playing a darker and dismal style of death. The 2nd song is “The Endless Void”. This one is more of a faster, up tempo basher/banger of a song. It retains the heaviness but there are some blasts and fast one/twos to get the headbanging until the neck starts to rip from the rest of the body. After 2 pretty legendary demos(at least in this era!) these crazies have created quite a buzz and now this massive record will bring them even closer to true death greatness. I can’t fucking WAIT to hear what the full length album will sound like. Stench of Decay are one of the best new era death metal bands around, so track this down if you want to hear how truly crushing and murderous Finnish death metal should sound like. Detest Records scores AGAIN with the mighty vinyl attack! Support Jerry and all of his other releases as well! They all kill and crush.
