Engorgement hail from
the UK and they have finally crawled back out of the woodwork after more than
thirteen years of silence. It has been a long time since their debut
"Excruciating Intestinal Lacerations" dropped, leaving fans waiting
for the next dose of filth. The band has returned to the scene via Comatose Music with their sophomore album, "They
Rot Beneath Our Floor". The lineup features veterans of the scene, and
they enlisted Floor Van Kuijk to handle the
mixing and mastering at his studio, ensuring the final product sounds massive.
The production on this thing is
absolutely thick. Van Kuijk knows how to make a
band sound like a demolition crew, and he did a killer job here. The guitar
tone is tuned down to the basement, creating a wall of noise that hits you
right in the chest. Nothing about this recording sounds thin or weak. It is
just a barrage of low-end frequencies designed to disturb the peace. The drums
are mixed high enough to crack skulls, providing a relentless beating that
drives the whole machine forward.
The artwork by Christian Castro is totally sick and matches the
gore-obsessed themes perfectly. "They Rot Beneath Our Floor" is a
solid release that gives death metal fans exactly what they crave. It is heavy,
aggressive, and doesn't mess around with anything unnecessary. If you want a
soundtrack for stomping around and breaking stuff, this album does the job. It
is a fun, brutal ride that hits the spot without trying to be anything it
isn't.
Score: 7.5
