Following a single demo in 2023, Mexican death metal soloist Stenched vomits forth their debut album, Purulence Gushing From the Coffin! Punching into life with an avalanche of pulsating drums and oozing riffs, lovers of the abominable and disgusting will be ecstatically pulled into the abyssal sounds of Stenched. This ruthless and gargantuan death metal not only has twisted instrumentals, but some of the most fetid vocal spewing you will hear, perfect to vomit your guts up with. Those first moments will having you swaying like a corpse in concrete slippers stood in the sea. If you like slow-dragging death metal, D-beating fury, or simple old-school malevolence, then this record will please you, as there is plentiful savagery in every form while keeping it true. Barbarically charging onward, expect no mercy, because none will be shown.
As the half-hour of pugnacious torment continues to pummel and putrefy, there is no respite from the hammering decay and delightful gore of this album. Its blend of doomy atmospherics and mangled grooves are tied together by lacerating bouts of grinding extremity to give a diverse range to its methods of inflicting pain. Your bloated corpse will be mutilated and violated if you get close to Stenched, so be careful: this is a hideous deformity you are going to encounter. But you’re still here? Good, so let’s delve into the underground’s filthiest offering: Purulence Gushing From the Coffin, an album that sounds as its title describes. - Me Saco Un Ojo
