The Finnish Death Metal band CORPESESSED has just released their debut full length album entitled "Abysmal Thresholds". The project exists since 2007 with 2 EPs in their pocket. This album was recorded during the last six months of 2013 for it to be in stores in early 2014 under the label Dark Descent Records.
With origins from the Finnish & Swedish old Death Metal, the style of CORPESESSED is defined as the pure Death Metal that contains particular influences of Black Metal. This is the main deduction after listening to the first song. "Of Desolation" is a track that makes you discover the violence of this album with merciless riffs argued with hyper saturated distortions. The guitars are tuned several steps lower than the standard, which gives access to very low notes with a raw mix and production that showcases the crude aspect of each instrument. The savage passages on almost all pieces hurt your ears; you must be a big fan of intense sounds of Death Metal so that you can bear this heavy dose of chaotic sounds. An alternation between hyper fast riffs and mid-tempo passages is there, imposing unhealthy moods for a more atmosphere and deepness. The voice of Niko Matilainen is often presents with stability and homogeneity on the entire album; it made me ask the questions about the abilities of this man on stage.
I finished the listening session of this album with an overdose of distortions and blast beats, and I noticed the great abilities of this Finnish band in the material of Death Metal. This is a sign that these guys are not here to miss around or to show their peaceful face, they are here for a brutally cold sound.
