4.5 superb | Vokills | May 1st 08 | Devourment is one of the pioneers of "slamming death metal" now im not saying they were necessarily the first, just maybe the first to do it with such style and musicianship. Devourment definately isnt for everyone, well, its not for you if you hate death metal or if "insane gutturals followed with powerful slamming guitar and some masterful drumming" just isnt your thing.
Highly Reccomend

1.0 awful | Jurtz | May 31st 24 | I absolutely detest this album. It's horrible in every aspect. The vocals are way too high in the mix, the guitars and bass are just mush, because they don't know how to tune or create a good mix. The drums are perhaps the "highlight" of the album, because they don't suck as bad. What a joke.

4.5 superb | Brabiz | December 6th 21 | I typically hate this style of extreme metal, but this album is an absolute masterpiece. The vocals are disgusting, the riffs are decimating, and i keep coming back to it over and over. Album art is pretty brutal too.

5.0 classic | Risodo | February 16th 18 | Slamming Death Metal is a style that is not for anyone. Even the lover of Death Metal and extreme music may find this style dubious and scarce. However, Devourment did in 1999, what no one else could do for the style. The album is perfect in its design and intent. The instruments are unique and the structures of the songs were well elaborated by the band. I think the style is kind of bizarre, to be honest, and i even tried to venture myself into some slam bands earlier this year, but I found it all very ridiculous. But "Molesting the Decapitated" may be the best and only record of the genre that i love to listen to.

5.0 classic | TheMightyMrM | March 31st 16 | This is pretty much the perfect slam metal album. If you like slam, you should like this. If you hate slam, you still might somewhat dig this because it's just that good, but that could never be guaranteed.

4.0 excellent | hotchocolate | May 2nd 15 | Probably the best "slamming death metal" considering 90% of the genre is bands attempting to emulate this and failing

0.0 | TheHamburgerman | October 20th 11 | Sometimes I doubt my rationality when I either give an album a 5 or a 1. Both of these numbers are extremes, and it's hard to rationalize extremism. This album, however, leaves little doubt. I'm not sure if I've ever heard a worse album. Or, for that matter, a more offensive to the death metal genre. If the core of death metal could represent a fetus (to draw some similarities to the lyrical concept), Devourment "stillborned" it, stuck a hand in it and used it as a sock puppet. Every second of this record is nothing but notes that are massively centered in the first fret of the C string (or whatever their tuning is). The drumming is very sloppy, and the vocals are holding a contest with the guitars who can more monotone. No biased factors other than my sanity here, this is truly a horrible, horrible album.

1.5 very poor | DestroyHim | July 16th 10 | debating between 2 and 1.5. the album is for the most part a bunch of guys trying to play the same tiny section of the chromatic scale in as many different ways as possible (mostly just up and down). The guitars are tuned too low to hear the notes played in the faster passages, but I can only assume they're equally unimaginative. As well as boring note choice, the rhythms in the slams are made as boring as possible (literally just quarter notes played one after the other, maybe 2 eighth notes if you are lucky). It's redeemed by a couple of things such as the drumming, the vocals and the overall gorefest aesthetic. The lyrics make the album mildly entertaining. i don't know how people rated this with 4's and 4.5's when it's just soo f*cking boring.

1.5 very poor | Thir13teen | July 9th 09 | Borderline unlistenable. Vocals are alright for the most part, but the songwriting on this record has got to be the one of the most monotone I've come across. It just keeps chugging on and on, almost like on an attempt to drive the listener nuts. However, the song "Choking On Bile" is decent and keeps this from getting the minimal score. Avoid this as if it were a plague.
