REPUTDEATH Endless Decay CD

Hailing from the fertile and extreme underground of Malaysia, the compilation Endless Decay is a definitive tribute to the short-lived but highly influential cult entity Reputdeath. Released as a comprehensive collection of their sonic remains, this album gathers the band's demos and rare tracks, serving as a grim archive of their contribution to the Southeast Asian death metal scene. Endless Decay is a masterclass in Filthy, Old School Death Metal. The sound is heavily indebted to the early 90s tradition, drawing deep inspiration from the cavernous vibes of Incantation, the primitive sludge of Autopsy, and the raw morbidity of Cianide. The music is characterized by its thick, "buzzsaw" guitar tone, suffocating atmosphere, and subterranean guttural vocals that sound as if they were recorded in a damp tomb. The songwriting masterfully transitions from soul-crushing, doom-laden crawls to sudden bursts of primitive, blast-beat-driven violence, creating a listening experience that feels both ancient and genuinely dangerous. For collectors of Asian Death Metal and underground purists, this CD is an essential acquisition. It captures a specific moment in the Malaysian scene where raw production and occult atmosphere were prioritized over modern polish. Endless Decay is a mandatory piece for anyone seeking to explore the darker, more "rotten" corners of global death metal, preserving the legacy of a band that understood the true meaning of sonic decay.
