Sludgy greatness starts this album off with face punching
grooves and powerful drumming with the track “Legalize Homicide,” and bringing
dirty slams on this as well. I never
really liked or gave Devourment a chance, but this track alone made me a fan. Sick
blast beats and fast gnarly riffs make the next track, “Fifty Ton War Machine,”
incredible. The gut wrenching vocals and awesome slammy grooves also make your
ears bleed on this. “Conceived In Sewage,” title track, might be one of my
favourites. It is very catchy the way it flows and the riffs are fantastic.
Also, it has a great combination of slow slam and in your face shreds. The
track title of this next one is just as brutal as the music, as “Fucked With
Rats” gives you dirty melodies and slow chugs. It is definitely another
favourite of mine off this album.
An epic instrumental, “March to Megiddo ,” comes next with sirens in the
background as the drums do a snare march beat and the guitars melt your ears
with chugs. “Today We Die, Tomorrow We Kill” makes me want to mosh until my
apartment is reduced to rubble. It is such a sick track, with speed, precision,
and slam, bringing you the best Devourment has to offer. With grim riffage and
gruelling vocals, “Heaving Acid,” brings you an excellent listen. It’s mostly
about the slam but that makes this track so good. Another track to tear your
ears apart with the sick riffs and dirty vocals is “Carved Into Ecstasy.” When
the snare and guitar share rhythm, I thought it sounded really badass. Definitely
an eruption of many sorts is “Parasitic Eruption,” as this album ending track
explodes as it gives you everything you know and love from Devourment. It
smacks you in the face while you throw down to their slams and mosh to their
shreds.
Through high school, I wasn’t very big into the death side
of the metal genre. Although I did dabble into Disgorge and Cryptopsy, I didn’t
enjoy overly brutal bands back then. Opening up to all sorts of subgenres of
metal, I have found a new liking for death metal and the speed and slams that
come with it. Devourment gives you both of those things and do it with such
elegance and perfection which sums up their talent on this album, “Conceived In
Sewage.” If you haven’t checked this album out already, I don’t know what’s
wrong with you.
