Today we’re facilitating an event that’s the sonic equivalent of detonating a dirty bomb in a crowded downtown thoroughfare. But instead of radioactive material, this bomb is packed with nails, viscera, and bone fragments, all expanding at the pace of a blast front.

What we’re presenting is the first song to be violently discharged from Morbid Ataraxia, a no-holds-barred new album by the Italian brutal death metal band Putridity in advance of its June 27 release by Willowtip Records. As you can see, we’re also revealing the album’s ghastly cover painting, prepared by the fiendishly talented Paolo Girardi. Continue reading »

Putridity-Ignominious Atonement

 

(Our good friend from the Dominican Republic, Vonlughlio, returns to NCS with this guest review of the new album by the Italian band Putridity.)

To the readers who have seen my top year-end lists, it would be safe to say that one of my favorite genres in metal is Brutal Death Metal. Some of my favorite bands in this genre are: Gorgasm, Cerebral Effusion, Seminal Embalmment, Cenotaph (Turkey), Defeated Sanity, and Putridity.

The band Putridity is from Italy and was formed in 2005 from the ashes of Obscene Perversion and in 2007 they released their debut album Mental Prolapse Induces Necrophilism. But I found out about this band in 2012, a year later after the release of their second album (shame on me I guess) and purchased it along with their debut album. I have to say that I was blown away by this band’s performance in both of those releases. Great riffs with superb drumming and killer vocals.

Now flash forward to early 2015. When the band announced their new album Ignominious Atonement I was at work, but somehow a “fuck yeah” escaped my mouth. Since it was released via Willowtip I have lost count of how many times I have listened to it. My first impression is how much the people who recorded that album — Davide “BrutalDave” Billia (Drums), Paolo Chiti (Vocals), Andrea “Ciccio” Aimone (Guitars), Paolo “Panino” (Guitars), and Alessandro Cravero (Bass) — have grown as musicians, with such strong performances. They just flat-out released one of the best BDM albums of 2015. Continue reading »
