"If you're some speed freak constantly looking for new heights in grindcore depravity, look no further. I originally found this in my local mall, (hah) browsing for an Exodus CD. When I caught a glimpse of "Gore Metal," I was intrigued. I mean, just look at it. When I placed it on the checkout counter, the clerk looked at me like I was insane. If there's a better sign of a great album, I'd like to know what it is.



There's not alot to say here. The guitars literally sound like chainsaws, appropriately enough. The bass is pretty much drowned out by the overwhelming drums, and the vocalist's scathing grunts reach subterranean levels. Though brisk tempo changes run amock, the music here isn't exactly enviable in its virtuosity. Exhumed pride themselves on brutality, and strong grooves. "Deathmask," "Limb From Limb," among other classics, are highly infectious. Exhumed's "Gore Metal" doesn't exactly propel metal into a new level of subtlety,but it gives what it promises.
