Lust Of
Decay started causing trouble in the early 2000s, stomping through the
underground with a taste for the gruesome and a talent for violent riff craft.
After dropping three albums and leaving behind a trail of cracked ribs and
battered amplifiers, they went silent for nearly two decades. The band’s
members, known for their work with Atrocious Abnormality, Cesspool Of Vermin,
Coathanger Abortion and Shuriken Cadaveric Entwinement, never exactly
disappeared, they just waited like something hungry under the floorboards. Now
they return with “Entombed In Sewage”, an album that sounds like they stored
all those missing years in a jar and shook it until it exploded.
“Entombed
In Sewage” moves with an approach that’s straight to the point. The riffs
strike fast and stay mean, painting everything in a thick layer of corruption.
The vocals come in like a toxic eruption, deep, harsh and steady. The drumming
keeps the ground constantly rumbling, switching attacks with ease and pushing
the songs forward with a sense of constant pressure. It’s an album that prefers
blunt honesty over theatrics, and Lust Of Decay plays exactly the kind of brutal
death metal they were formed to deliver.
The production by Tony Tipton gives the album a direct and forceful character. Every part lands with power, and nothing gets lost in the swamp of distortion. The cover art by Daemorph Art matches the record’s approach, vivid and filthy, something pulled straight from a nightmare sewer. “Entombed In Sewage” doesn’t aim for any surprises, it focuses on impact. Lust Of Decay return sounding exactly like a band that knows what they want to smash and how to smash it. This is a straightforward, bone-cracking brutal death metal release, confident in its ugliness and ready to please anyone who has missed this band’s particular brand of sonic violence.
Score: 6.0
