Liquid Skull - Abscessive Autopsy

Tracklist -
1. Protoplasmic Perfection
2. Artery Corruption
3. Spinalectomy
4. Psychopathology

Rated - 8/10

I found out about this band through myspace. I think they added me, I don't remember. Whatever the case, this is none of that new sound crap. They're not competing to see who can play fastest. They just know gore and stick to it. Good dudes. Now, about the album, or demo rather. Every time I start to listen to it, I get so disappointed when the intro to Protoplasmic Perfection ends. Such a tribute to the better days of Autopsy and Impetigo. The vocals hit me unexpectedly, as I was expecting a more deep growl type thing. It's more like a high pitched growl. That's pretty cool, as that doesn't happen a lot in this genre. Change is good, sometimes. The second song reminds me more of Cannibal Corpse for whatever reason. Barnes era of course. But that's only the beginning, it seeps right back to the Impetigo roots soon afterwards. Then the guitar solo has the greatest 80s feel to it. A shredfest worthy of Slayer even. But it never has a feel of plagerism. Just a band that knows the style and perfects it. I'd have to say that this demo could land them on my label, if I had one, in a heartbeat. An entire album like this would be great, as I'm sure it would be a lot more varied. I'd feel good giving this a 8/10. Maybe a little stingy, a low 9/10 at best, but this is a VERY high 8/10.
