As our human need to bring order to chaos and make sense of complexity increases, so does the proliferation of the sub-genre and its many sub-sub offshoots. Where once only death metal stood, today, a plethora of choices exist. And because that most un-descriptively generalized tag wasn’t enough, we now banter over the finer nuances of tech death vs. old school vs. melodic, brutal, </span><em><span>ultra </span></em><span>brutal, and more. I’m not deriding the importance of sub-categories and their use in the metalverse as much as I’m highlighting the fact that sometimes, it’s refreshing to run across an album that strikes at the heart of a genre. Enter Turkey’s </span><strong><span>Diabolizer</span></strong><span>. After receiving a coveted 4.0 from <span><strong>Holdeneye</strong></span> in 2021 for </span><a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/diabolizer-khalkedonian-death-review/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><em><span>Khalkedonian Death</span></em></a><span>, </span><strong><span>Diabolizer</span></strong><span> returns to rape your ears with its second unholy metal of death platter, </span><em><span>Murderous Revelations</span></em><span>. Will this sophomore effort find </span><strong><span>Diabolizer</span></strong><span> taking a step back from their well-received debut, or will the onslaught continue, another clawing leap toward the upper echelon of death metal practitioners? </span></p><p><em><span>Murderous Revelations</span></em><span>‘ deliciously demonic cover art reveals much about </span><strong><span>Diabolizer</span></strong><span>‘s brand of death metal. Straight out of the get-go of hell’s gate, “Into the Depths of Diseased Minds” sears the senses with swirling speeds and tricky time signatures, a maelstrom of riffs that set the stage for what the entirety of </span><em><span>Murderous Revelations</span></em><span> has in store. With its founding lineup intact and still repping pedigree—members hail from </span><strong><span>Hyperdontia</span></strong><span>, </span><strong><span>Burial Invocation</span></strong><span>, and </span><strong><span>Engulfed</span></strong><span>—</span><strong><span>Diabolizer</span></strong><span> merges its </span><strong><span>Deicide</span></strong><span>dly </span><strong><span>Cannibal Corpse</span></strong><span>ish chunk-n-chugs perfectly with rifferous technical velocity that’s full of </span><strong><span>Nile</span></strong><span>istic</span><strong><span> Krisiun</span></strong><span>isms. Reminiscing on a younger me hearing the likes of </span><strong><span>Malevolent Creation</span></strong><span> and </span><strong><span>Krisiun</span></strong><span> for the first time, </span><em><span>Murderous Revelations</span></em><span> hit like a time capsule, instantly returning me to a simpler age. It is a solid step forward that shows, once again, how </span><strong><span>Diabolizer</span></strong><span> shines with plenty of pristine performances and the ability to merge many styles into something so purely death metal it defies sub-categorization. </span></p><p></p><p><strong><span>Diabolizer</span></strong><span>‘s guitar hero duo of Can and Mustafa drop savage riff after savage riff (“Purulent Divinity in Black Flames”) and bring tons of technically tornadic, swirling solos to bear with vile virtuosity (“Seeds of the Dethroned”). Malik’s excellent finger-happy bass work provides many a Ramen noodle moment (“Bloodstream Bonegrinder”), complementing Abberant, who barbarously bashes through every track on </span><em><span>Murderous Revelations</span></em><span>, laying down a vicious sledge to the head style drummeling. Completing <strong>Diabolizer</strong>’s cadre of calamity is vocalist Abomination. His brutal, ground-shaking roars still harken to scene veterans like Glen Benton and Christian Älvestam, to be sure. Still, I hear a fair amount of Barney Greenway’s </span><strong><span>Napalm Death</span></strong><span> snarl in Abomination’s lower register, and this serves as a foil to his newly developed vomitous rasp (“Hogtied in Razorwire”), which took me aback at first but has grown on me with repeat listens.</span></p><p><span></span></p><p>Making a strong case that <strong><span>Diabolizer</span></strong><span> should be this Turkish quintet’s main gig, the songwriting on </span><em><span>Murderous Revelations</span></em><span> is top-notch and wastes nary a moment of its value-packed run time. A relentless onslaught that maintains a breakneck pace, </span><em><span>Murderous Revelations</span></em><span> provides listeners with nearly no air to breathe. The only moments of respite come at the outset of “Set the World Ablaze (“Infernal Dawn”) with its majestic, mid-paced riff and tremolo opening and the brief fade-in to “Deathmarch of the Murderous Tyrant,” which revs up and shoves its boot right back down on your windpipe. There’s so much I like about </span><em><span>Murderous Revelations </span></em><span>that I’ve been racking my brain, searching for some balancing critique to levy. So, while I’m still not 100% on board with Abominations’ new, raspy tone at times, that quibble is a minor one.</span></p><p><strong><span>Diabolizer</span></strong><span> provides bree-bree-free brutality with layman’s terms technicality and enough chug-chugs to satiate my inner caveman. </span><em><span>Murderous Revelations</span></em><span> is death metal performed as Satan intended. It left my face in a state of perma-stank, and fans of </span><em><span>Khalkedonian Death </span></em><span>should be well-pleased. I’m incredibly blessed to be able to do what I do here, and the shine of my most recent status change still blinds me sometimes. I want to thank <span><strong>Holdeneye</strong></span> for introducing me to </span><strong><span>Diabolizer </span></strong><span>four years ago and for entrusting me to share my thoughts on </span><em><span>Murderous Revelations</span></em><span>.<a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/diabolizer-murderous-revelations-review/#fn-215084-1" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">1</a> It’s a fantastic death metal album I’m sure to be talking about come year’s end. </span></p> <p><strong>Rating</strong>: 4.0/5.0<br><strong>DR</strong>: 7 | <strong>Format Reviewed</strong>: 320kbps mp3<br><strong>Labels</strong>: <a href="https://www.darkdescentrecords.com/shop/product/diabolizer-murderous-revelations-cd/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Dark Descent Records</a> | <a href="https://www.mesacounojo.com/shop/diabolizer-murderous-revelations-lp/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Me Saco Un Ojo Records</a><br><strong>Websites</strong>: <a href="https://diabolizer.bandcamp.com/album/murderous-revelations" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Bandcamp</a> | <a href="https://www.facebook.com/diabolizer" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Facebook</a><br><strong>Releases Worldwide</strong>: April 11th, 2025</p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/2025/" target="_blank">#2025</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/40/" target="_blank">#40</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/apr25/" target="_blank">#Apr25</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/cannibal-corpse/" target="_blank">#CannibalCorpse</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/death-metal/" target="_blank">#DeathMetal</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/deicide/" target="_blank">#Deicide</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/diabolizer/" target="_blank">#Diabolizer</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/everlasting-spew-records/" target="_blank">#EverlastingSpewRecords</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/krisiun-un-ojo-records/" target="_blank">#KrisiunUnOjoRecords</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/me-saco-un-ojo-records/" target="_blank">#MeSacoUnOjoRecords</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/murderous-revelations/" target="_blank">#MurderousRevelations</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/nile/" target="_blank">#Nile</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/review/" target="_blank">#Review</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/turkish-metal/" target="_blank">#TurkishMetal</a></p>

Angry Metal Guy<p><a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/stenched-purulence-gushing-from-the-coffin-review/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Stenched – Purulence Gushing From the Coffin Review</a></p><p><i>By Steel Druhm</i></p><p>In the week when <strong>Rotpit</strong> makes their revolting return to the death metal sweepstakes, I also signed up to cover the debut by the unheralded one-man Mexican death metal project <strong>Stenched</strong>. All my enthusiasm was focused on a particular hole in the ground full of decay so thusly, I approached <em>Purulence Gushing From the Coffin</em> not expecting much. That’s until the bucket of week-old pig organs got dumped over my head by the abhorrent sounds <strong>Stenched</strong> brought to the corpse buffet. This is one extremely unpleasant and toxic cesspool full of the most horrible poo-goo the mind can imagine, and with zero sanitation protocols in place, even a few minutes with this scum-muck might make you feel like you’ve contracted a loathsome disease. In fact, you should count on it. But does rancid and offensive equal good in the death metal metrics employed by AMG Industries? Let’s sup the cess together.</p><p>Mere seconds into opener “Morbid Mass of Repulsive Purlence,” your initial instinct will be to recoil in terror. The sound features fearsome pustules of early <strong>Carcass</strong> and <strong>Disma</strong>, and there’s a heavy dose of <strong>Demilich</strong> floating in the managed waste too. This makes for a rank and fetid soundscape through which founder and sole occupant “Adrian” drags us kicking and screaming. Riffs slither moistly with great menace and Adrian’s vocals emanate from somewhere south of the sub-sub-basement near the sewer vent. If music ever felt <span class="">mucilaginous</span>, this does. But beyond sounding hideous, the song grabs hold of you with biting suckers and refuses to let go. It’s a freakishly compelling sound and once it gets hooks in, you’re truly fucked. When it’s over and you disentangle yourself from the tentacles of some unknown horror, you get slimed by “Mucus, Phlegm and Bile.” Yes, that’s the title and yes, it accurately conveys what’s coming for you. It’s like something off <strong>Carcass</strong>’ <em>Reek of Putrefaction</em> taken a few weeks past maximum decomposition and it’s fooking gnarly. I love it and am sickened by my love of it.</p><p></p><p>The album gets better and better as it pulls you deeper into the gunk and gloop. “Suppurating Cranial Cavity” is at a whole other level, harnessing a world-breaking mid-tempo plod that pulverizes everything and everyone you ever loved As Adrian wretches and vomits his guts over the bloody spectacle. The riffs are oily and noxious and leave scum trails everywhere. This may well be my Death Metal Song o’ the Year and I can’t get enough of this foul-tasting stuff. But wait, there’s more! The riffs on “Death Manical Obsession” are aces and turn an already effective tune into a raving flesh golem. Mr. <strong>Stenched</strong> does well to balance creeping doom with OSDM tropes and Swedeath d-beats in a way that keeps things unpredictable and fresh. “Eye Socket Pus Emanation” does this bait-and-switch especially well as it cycles through tempos and kicks your face completely apart in the process. At just under 32 minutes, <strong>Stenched</strong> pack a lot of sickness into a short symphony window and the writing keeps the individual tracks moving and gore-grooving. The production is full of murk, with Adrian’s guttural croaks and godawful noises buried in the mix, rising like some eldritch abomination through the blood and mud. The guitar tone is satisfyingly wet and punctures the brain stem in all the ways I love.</p><p>I can’t say enough about how well Adrian assembled this panoply of pestilence. His riffage is great and always grimy and scab-encrusted. You can almost picture the leads slithering under locked doors to get at you. His ability to jump tempos from funeral doom-esque to punky thrash and mid-tempo crushing is admirable and every time a song threatens to grow tedious, he makes something happen to hold interest. His vocals are often not much more than deep, indecipherable spoken words but they work very well and his little vomit accents are spun gold. He’s clearly a student of all things death and he uses every genre trick and trope to get his compositions across the finish line. It’s his writing that shines the brightest, as this style could easily end up sounding too one-note and muddy, but it never does here.</p><p><em>Purulence Gushing From the Coffin</em> is Plato’s ideal form of a death metal album, and <span><strong>Steel</strong></span> is with that old toga-wearing bastard on this one. It combines everything I love dearly about <strong>Incantation</strong>, <strong>Carcass</strong>, <strong>Demilich</strong>, and <strong>Chthe’ilist</strong> into one savory mouthful, and brother, it is toothsome! This shit makes <strong>Rotpit</strong> seem entirely hygienic by comparison, and that’s no easy feat. Did I mention this album smells like feet? Olde, rotting hobo feet. Now smell the agony of dem feet and get fully <strong>Stenched</strong>.</p><p><strong>Rating:</strong> 4.0/5.0<br><strong>DR:</strong> 8 | <strong>Format Reviewed:</strong> 320 kbps mp3<br><strong>Label:</strong> <a href="https://mesacounojo.bandcamp.com/album/purulence-gushing-from-the-coffin" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Me Saco Un Ojo</a><br><strong>Website: </strong> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/stenchedmetal/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">instagram.com/stenchedmetal</a><br><strong>Releases Worldwide:</strong> November 26th, 2024</p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/2024/" target="_blank">#2024</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/40/" target="_blank">#40</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/carcass/" target="_blank">#Carcass</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/ctheilist/" target="_blank">#CtheIlist</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/death-metal/" target="_blank">#DeathMetal</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/demilich/" target="_blank">#Demilich</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/disma/" target="_blank">#Disma</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/me-saco-un-ojo-records/" target="_blank">#MeSacoUnOjoRecords</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/mexican-metal/" target="_blank">#MexicanMetal</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/nov24/" target="_blank">#Nov24</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/purulence-gushing-from-the-coffin/" target="_blank">#PurulenceGushingFromTheCoffin</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/review/" target="_blank">#Review</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/reviews/" target="_blank">#Reviews</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/stenched/" target="_blank">#Stenched</a></p>
