HORRIPILANT Embrace the Obsession CD

Hailing from Spain, Horripilant delivers a lethal dose of old-school violence with their EP, Embrace The Obsession. Released by the venerable BlackSeed Productions, this record is a mandatory listen for those who worship at the altar of early 90s Death Metal. The music is a masterclass in morbidity, blending the crushing weight of the Finnish scene (think Demigod or Convulse) with the aggressive, thrashing energy of early Autopsy. Embrace The Obsession stands out for its filthy, cavernous guitar tones and a drum performance that oscillates between relentless blasts and slow, decomposing grooves. The vocals are a guttural transmission from the grave, perfectly complementing the lyrical themes of obsession and decay. This EP is a raw, unpolished gem that proves the Spanish Death Metal underground is as vital and disgusting as ever.
