The sound of the opening guitar riff on the imaginatively titled
'Defloration Of The Holy Cunt' is like a chainsaw wrapped in barb wire and
dipped in broken glass and overall this is a really good effort from the band
on their 2nd full album. Looking forward to seeing what they can conjure up in
the future!

The
Review:
If
scathing blackened death metal is your thing then I suggest you give Goat Torment
a listen. While not exactly reinventing the wheel it still packs a mighty punch
and will definitely please a lot of people.
'Opening The
Gates'
is an intro track and sounds like a rumble below the surface of the earth,
forcing itself through asphalt and concrete. 'Bones Aligned' is the resulting hellish disaster following on from
this. Incantations and Satanic chants are aplenty and The Old Gods are being
summoned. It sounds similar to Colombia/US's Inquisition in parts but with
the vocals leaning more towards the death metal side of the fence and more
menace. Personal highlight 'Heirarchy Of
Negligence' has an almost doomy intro passage but with a steady blast beat
that all breaks out into complete satanic mayhem.
The
sound of the opening guitar riff on the imaginatively titled 'Defloration Of The Holy Cunt' is like
a chainsaw wrapped in barb wire and dipped in broken glass. 'Death Is Crowned' is another great
track and reminds me of Towers Of Flesh (that's most definitely a
compliment). While there are an infinite number of blasts, it's not constant
and allows the song to benefit from moments of suspense. The last 2 songs 'The Domineering Profane' and 'Of Fire And Brimstone' continue with
the blistering blackened death, the latter standing out a bit more than the
former with it's momentary slow passage and the hellish noise, the sound of
flesh burning, trailing off at the end.
Really
good effort from the band on their 2nd full album. Looking forward to seeing
what they can conjure up in the future!
