The Italian band Vulvectomy is back at it with their unique brand of death metal on the new cut Aberrant Vaginal Gestation out on Comatose Music. Of course, anyone who picks up this cut will notice the gore/brutality elements in everything from the art to the song titles. Do not be fooled though there is much to be had sonically once we dive into the actual music. 

The first thing that stands out is the band’s ability to go from huge rusty machine grinding to badass/ groovy jams that fall off the edge in a barrage of blast beats and pick-melting guitar riffs. Their ability to mix all this up without coming up with a confusing mess is at the heart of what they do best on this new cut, it doesn’t ever get muddy. Brutal death metal presented as it should with some killer additions brought in, like the clean spoken vocal stuff (spoiler alert* the crying totally got me, I thought for a moment maybe I was not alone but that’s all I’ll say about that) which brings an added layer of horror to what is already a mix between a fever dream and a trip through the grosser pages of an anatomy textbook. 

Buried in all this brutality, though, we get treated to some really cool, almost hooky guitar parts that add an added level of depth. All in all, this is an awesome offering in the brutal/death metal category. Everything about this album just smacks you right in the face: visually, sonically, and musically. The onslaught is real, and there is zero letup; it’s full-on until the very end.
