Visceral Bleeding - Metal Archives

Technical, brutal death metal from everyone's favorite country of longhairs, Sweden. Absorbing the Disarray is a whip-fast journey through mania. Tight, precise riffing; unsettling, but intelligible vocals; and drumming that calls to mind the phrase 'controlled chaos'. This album slays, anyone with an interest in death metal should listen to this.

As a side note, I own close to 800 physical CDs and tapes as of last count, but suprisingly few (considering my taste) fall into the 'brutal/technical death metal' category. Visceral Bleeding's Absorbing the Disarray is a record I bought, full stop shortly after its release. It's that good (and contains many earworms that take a few listens to truly dig in). At almost 10 years old, few bands have improved on their sound - and skill.

Fans of Spawn of Possession, mid-era Cryptopsy, and Augury should give this a listen.

Pretty damn good musically, but their singer is ultra-cliched and feels unnecessary for about 90% of the time and that's kind of turning me off.

I was actually listening to a bit of that album a few days ago, but I was switching from so many different albums so quickly that I don't remember anything about it. Listening to it now and it's definitely sweet, though I'll agree that the vocalist isn't anything special.

And if you need more techy brutal death metal then The Conductor's Departure by Anata is a recent discovery that blew me away. The lead guitar is just cool as ****.

I can agree that the vocalist is hardly groundbreaking. I view his role as an additional percussion instrument - emphasizing the 'brutality' of it all.

And hell yeah, Anata is fantastic. That's a cool record. I think I still prefer Dreams of Death and Dismay overall though.

This song will not leave your brain.
