At last comes the vinyl release of the highly anticipated debut entitled Devil's Mayhem
by Blasphemic Cruelty. Consisting of Gene Palubicki (Angelcorpse,
Apocalypse Command), Alex Blume (Ares Kingdom, Nepenthe) and Gina
Ambrosio, Blasphemic Cruelty play blackened and sadistic Deathrash. This
album demonstrates that even at this late date, there is still hallowed
ground within this genre left to be desecrated. The band positions
itself at the point of the birth of Death metal in the late 1980's while
also embracing the earliest emanations of the first wave of Black
Metal. The importance of the work lay not in the path the band has
chosen, however, but in the degree of dedication to that path. In this
recording one hears the distinct blackened crackle of burning flesh
submerged in the molten pits of the underworld. The howling winds of
evil permeate every note of this nuanced recording as they blow,
spreading with them the contagion of the virulent plagues of the
apocalypse. It is a force of destruction to which all will ultimately be
forced to submit.
