Swallowed - Putrefaction

Review by Tony Herrera

Swallowed's latest album, Putrefaction, is a brutal and unrelenting assault on the senses. The Finnish death metal band has created a work that is both sonically intense and thematically disturbing. The album is a journey into the abyss, exploring the darkest corners of the human psyche.

The opening track, "Parasite Inheritance," sets the tone for the rest of the album. It's a blistering track that showcases the band's technical prowess and their ability to create a wall of sound that is both crushing and mesmerizing. The album's title track, "Putrefaction," is a standout, with its ominous atmosphere and haunting melodies.

The album's lyrics are as intense as the music, dealing with themes of decay, corruption, and the human condition. The vocals are guttural and savage, perfectly complementing the music's ferocity.

Summary by Tony Herrera

Putrefaction is a masterful work of death metal. Swallowed has created an album that is both challenging and rewarding, a true testament to the power of extreme music. Fans of the genre will not be disappointed.
