From Iceland — Severed Crotch - Soul Cremation

Published May 18, 2007

Severed Crotch is a five piece progressive Death Metal band out of Reykjavík. Severed Chrotch is what you get when you mix Death Metal with quantum physics and ADHD. Their debut, Soul Cremation, is a self released 5 track EP and its harrowing complexity reeks of admiration for the Canadians in Gorguts, although the tunes ain´t quite as brilliant and the kick drum mix is terrible. What you have to sacrifice in order to play in the same league as their Canadian influences (Gorguts, Cryptopsy, The End) however is catchiness, which makes this disc about as memorable as your last shower. If this small genre is your particular cup of tea then by all means invest. I know I would. BB
