BRODEQUIN - Festival Of Death CD

I think people who don’t appreciate this album don’t truly completely love death metal. What is true love if it’s not to keep loving the object of your affection even when it’s displaying it’s ugliest face for all the world to see...Doesn’t mean you can’t like ‘’some’’ death metal and not like this.

Of course there’s always a good dose of brutality in death metal but this pretty much is the essence of brutality itself. I won’t go into clichés or metaphors to describe how brutal this is, you just have to hear it.

First time I heard this album I sat in front of my speakers the whole time, kind of mesmerized, possibly drooling, unable to react to such a powerful onslaught, then played it a few more times. I still can’t do much while listening to this, I just sit there transfixed. I’m not even such a big fan of brutal death metal usually except for some of the classics like Disgorge or Devourment which I enjoy once in a while. Brodequin really hit something different there.
