#492. Yogth Sothoth - Abominations of the Nebulah Mortiis


Genre: Death Metal
Origin: Colombia
Release Date: 2008
Label: Sevared/Butchered Records

As a huge fan of Lovecraft myself, I have a natural attraction to Lovecraft-themed bands. Searching for bands with this type of theme has led to some bad discoveries, but also some great ones, like this Colombian brutal death metal band. They fit the Lovecraftian label perfectly, and mix crushing brutality with a dark, mysterious atmosphere.

There are lots and lots of tempo changes on this disk, switching subtely from slow, sludgy pseudo-"slam" riffs, to chaotic guitar beating that will force your head through a wall and your body across the room. Still, the thing flows better than a stream of piss after 10 Duvels. Every song here has a hook, and the riffs are more memorable than most death metal bands. The production is modern, but still sounds natural. Old school atmosphere mixed with the brutality of a modern death metal band makes Yogth Sothoth stand above their contemporaries.
