Disembowelment: Full Discography Stream From Relapse Records

No, this is not a C squad grunge band called ‘Lower Case D’. Nor is this one of those Gen X ‘alternative’ churches. No, no, kiddies, this is an Aussie band called Disembowelment (Ya see when two dark ages barbarians hate eachother very much…). They are important ’cause these dudes are often credited with founding funeral doom. This means absolutely shit to people probably reading this for the 90s references since it’s all muddy growl noise to the untrained ear. Still, this band’s austere downtempo creepery was pretty original for its time. Considering that it was also augmented by guitars so detuned that they are noteworthy even today, it’s safe to say this is worth a mention. The entire discog is now on bandcamp from Relapse Records and is available for about 18 bones. If soul crushing death/doom is your chalice of mead then this is pretty essential. The rolling uptempo death metal parts are actually pretty cool in and of themselves. Take a listen.
