British Death metal group Cryptworm are return and released debut album is called Spewing Mephitic Putridity on March 11th, 2022 via Pulverised Records and Me Saco Un Ojo Records.
The album opens with Disgorged Chunks Of Life, a track that has a catchy structure built on a series of chunky guitar riffs, nasty vocals, heavy bass, and thundering drums. This track goes with intense aggressiveness that creating a commotion that will continue on the track Immense Cerebral Decomposition, which has a heavier composition that sows a madness through its dirty guitar riffs, disgusting vocals, and torturous drumming. The track also picks up some dark doom metal influences that reveal the band's gruesome side, then the situation thaws again when a lively beat greets us, then Reduced To Liquified Mass stomping with a pulsating beat that melted with a string of vicious guitar riffs, while the wild vocals relentlessly provide the cruelty to the very end. Then its energetic drums constantly create a variety of punches that will strike us unmercifully, while Disembowelment (Draped in Gore) comes to punish us with intense aggressiveness through a string of fast and cacty guitar riffs, heavy bass, and crushing drums, the track continues to unleash unstoppable madness, before the groove slows down again on the track Premature Entombment which features a murky guitar riff along with savage vocals, but it doesn't last long the tempo picks up again when they incorporate some catchy technicality touch that creates its own delicacy here, in the same way Septic Phlegm Asphyxia comes with a menacing frenzy by combining elements of technical and doom metal that smelted into deadly weapons to tear us apart mercilessly, attack after attack alternate topples us down with its ruthless power, Amorphous Transmutations is the longest track on this album which has a heavy and dirty structure. The tempo is varied, sometimes slowing down with a strong doom metal effect and sometimes too fast featuring fierce brutality. This track is a monstrous form of attack from the band to bring destruction and chaos to the end, and the album closes with Spewing Mephitic Putridity, a piercing track with a series of twisted and complex guitar riffs that melded together with some technical hints into an intoxicates composition that leaves us in an eternal cave of madness.
Spewing Mephitic Putridity is an exciting debut album, featuring a raw and primitive death metal show with some vile technical touches and somber doom metal elements that weaved together with a series of grim, dirty, and twisted guitar riffs, disgusting vocals, heavy bass, and energetic drum. All of them are ruthlessly executed in threatening compositions. Yeah, this is an excellent effort from them that deserves more attention and appreciation.
