REVIEW – Repugnant, out November 3, 2023, via Comatose Music, marks another leap in brutality for NECROTICGOREBEAST. Known for their relentless and crushing approach to brutal death metal, the band’s latest release is packed with devastating riffs, guttural vocals, and a ruthless assault on the senses.

The title track, “Repugnant”, kicks off the album with a relentless barrage of dissonant riffs and pummeling rhythms. It’s a ferocious opening, setting the stage for the chaos to come. “Unsedated Face Removal” follows, keeping the pace just as intense, with sludgy, grinding guitars and punishing drums.
The track “Consensual Castration”, featuring guest vocals from Cryptopsy’s Matt McGachy, is a highlight with its intricate drumming and heavy, technical breakdowns.

The brutality doesn’t stop there. “Gouged Eye Copulation” brings a storm of riffs and primal energy, while “Masturbated to Death”, featuring Jonathan Huber (Bludgeoned), intensifies the death metal assault with a frenzied, chaotic vibe. “Nail Clipper Circumcision” delivers dark, sludgy brutality, followed by “Ruptured Priapism”, a track that melds technical mastery with raw, unyielding aggression.
As the album nears its conclusion, “Phlebotomized” delivers a cold, haunting vibe that underscores the album’s relentless intensity. “Frozen Feces Evisceration” closes the record on a short but devastating note, showcasing NECROTICGOREBEAST’s skill in maintaining heaviness while keeping the listener engaged with complex shifts in rhythm and tempo.
Overall, Repugnant is a crushing statement from NECROTICGOREBEAST, solidifying their place at the forefront of the brutal death metal genre. Fans of the genre will find much to love in the album’s relentless onslaught and technical prowess.
