Well, that is true. But I noticed that this album has acquired double the number of ratings it had when I posted this review.

At least they know what bad death metal music sounds like and they learned their lesson.

ok, confession time, I actually can bare this but I don't particularly like it. The vocals are sooo so so bad but the instrumentation is ok.



"Did the vocalist just gurgle semen and snort like a pig while his friend jacks off on the snare drum? You should rename the song jacking pig cum gurgling evisceration plague." - Some guy on youtube who has the right idea

album slays. amazingly daring, disgusting, bizarre death metal that speaks to the stars with its surreal and innovative execution. the feeling i get when hearing this is like listening to a really good free jazz album. never been this impressed by slam before.

now, i understand the hate for this, but i implore those who hate to listen again.... this is the precise opposite of repetitive. what emnity do here is they push death metal into a place where it becomes high art that is so poignant, so focused on iits own goals that it becomes almost a different genre than death metal. this was a watershed moment in the history of dm

dang... i took a bit of time off from this but holy jesus fuck.... this is some of the juiciest metal around. the drum production, sludgy textured as-fuck riffs, the vocals.... it all makes for a weird and divine journey into the unknown.

Love it

Summit's waxing aside, trying to make the ugliest, most unmelodic metal in existence (without delving into straight-up non-music) warrants at least some respect. Don't know anything prior to 2005 that dragged its knuckles quite like this.

Pity it's boring as hell.

It's a strange case this album
I can see why some people would give it a 1 and I can see why some people would give it a 5; it's like I agree with every argument for and against - and I know that in itself doesn't even make sense

In terms of ugliest, most unmelodic metal out there I do feel that Last Days of Humanity - which does step foot in the non-music realm - tops this
Though LDoH didn't make me feel as genuinely nauseous as this did

Last Days kinda fill a different niche in that they're an absurdly OTT hodgepodge of metal, grind and noise. Whether or not their music is "uglier" I dunno, subjectivity, yada yada. Not sure how much of Last Days' stuff is written and/or improvised, but at very least it's coordinated to some extent.

This on the other hand lacks any interplay between the obviously programmed, stupid-steady drums and the sloppily played, scooped guitars. There's also no disguising any unresolved riffs or choppy songwriting cause of the lack of noise, etc. It's a perfect storm of terribleness. I know this is all "the point" but while it's funny for a couple minutes at a time, it's really stagnant over half an hour in a way Last Days aren't for me.

Yeah there's obviously a difference between the two bands in outcome/reaction as well
Last Days tears open your eardrums and bashes in your head because it's basically an onslaught of distortion, snare and pitch-shifting trickery

Enmity on the other hand keeps this steady stream that either annoys you or makes you queasy
