Turns out once you stop being immature about the vocals, this is some awesome stuff.

One of the most down right enjoyable death metal albums of all time, songs such as The Echo show off the bands intense but enjoyable style of riffing where you want to headbang and jump around happily at the same time. The only dispute with the album is the vocals and how much they sound like someone burping into a microphone.

I enjoy DM and BM. I have a soft spot for Schoenberg. I can listen to The Groovy Coolies. Ambient noise sometimes works for me. This, however is as appealing as eating a large bucket of cold zebra jizz with a rusty spoon, while a syphilitic bull elephant prepares to sodomise you. This is nothing to do with being 'trve' or 'kvlt' - it is just crap.

I'm not normally one to lag around and wait for an album to reveal itself. If I'm listening to an album and it doesn't show me significant hints on the first listen, then I'm out of there. I dunno why I stuck with Nespithe, but I'm glad I did. Rhythm guitars and percussion that at first seems monotonous has that pretense melt away to reveal intense polyrhythmic landscapes. Fucking A.
I've come to a conclusion. If you like death metal and you don't like Demilich, your head's not in the right place. It's probably up your ass. Which is unfortunate, because Demilich is about to kick you there, in all probability breaking your neck.

Weird and wonderful, Nespithe is one of Finnish Death Metal's greatest accomplishments if not one of the best death metal albums of all time. Alien yet infectious riffs are aplenty, and the atmosphere given off by the album is something that only Demilich themselves could pull off. While the vocals may be off-putting at first, they only add to Nespithe's overall alien atmosphere making them in a way the perfect compliment to the unorthodox instrumentation. In conclusion, stop being pussies about the vocals and listen to this. 5/5

Death Metal Classic - the perfect example of "alien death metal". Groovy and otherworldly af.

Gurgling, churning insanity unlike anything else. Somewhere between technical, progressive, groove black and doom is an uncharted universe of which we've only gotten a 40 minute glimpse through this Finnish portal. The twisting, spiraling licks, belching vocal spew and labyrinthine rhythms conspire to create a unique take on death metal that is as otherworldly today as it was 20 years ago.

boring... the "twisting" guitar work just sounds like shit. it always seems to default to a mid speed tempo. oh and the drummers cymbals are obnoxious and whoever mixed them is a fool

"Nespithe" is indeed an anagram for a part of the body. But it's not the spine...

While the very, very low ended vocals take some getting used to, they worked for me most of the time and are rare enough that they never become an issue, which wasn't the case of some of the demos. The prod finally gives them justice and highlights how riffy and technical this can get, with a weird deranged atmosphere stemming from it all. The first 6 tracks of the record are plain cool and juts line up fat riff after weird riff, peaking on the midtrack riffage on 3 and most of all on the whole of 4 which is a huge jam. After that I have to say I did find the record overextends quite a bit without ever giving the ear a rest - but as we know this depends a lot on listening conditions. By 9 I felt the record was loosing steam a bit, and by 10 I thought it was time for it to end. Still enjoyed this much more than I could remember from way back when, so I'll give it a pleasantly surprised 4.05

weird, but excellent. Excellent riffs and one of the strangest vocal performances I've ever heard. Highly recommended.

Holy smokes. Here I thought Immolation were the forst to make straight-up gut wrenching ugly technical death metal. Nope, it is these obscure guys from the Power Metal headquarters of Finland. I was not expecting this! Ugly, technical, and the vocals sound terrifying (in a good way).

One of the few tech death albums I can actually enjoy. This is how you do it... Way ahead of its time, and still unbelievable strange to this day.

And once again, there isn't anything I can say about Nespithe that ffs hasn't already said about it so with that said I'll just describe how it makes me feel: I don't even know how it makes me feel. I suppose unnerved, apprehensive maybe. I'm certainly impressed and having fun, but you read those lyrics along with it and let that thick whale blubber atmosphere coat you and it's just disturbing. What is any of that stuff supposed to mean? Seriously, read the lyrics to "The Cry" and tell me what it means. I suppose not knowing is the scariest part. Another thing: 1993 was one kickass year for death metal. Nespithe. The Erosion Of Sanity. Breeding The Spawn. Individual Thought Patterns. Transcendence Into The Peripheral. Heartwork. Focus (not quite as "death" as the others, but still death metal). And many, many others both more well known and in the underground. That this record may be the best of them all is truly a testament to how amazing and unbelievable it actually is. And obviously those riffs. Maybe two minutes of this album aren't spent with some of the greatest tech-death riffs of all time. Yeah buddy

When the Finns nail their death metal, it's guaranteed to be awesome. And in Demilich's case, weird as hell but induces the hardest boner.
