Vinyl reissue of classic war metal violence from the US!
Ampütator’s Deathcult Barbaric Hell delivers a relentless onslaught of raw, barbaric black/thrash that stays true to the band’s uncompromising vision. Building upon the ferocity of their demo, this full-length album refines their assault with a sharper, more forceful production that amplifies every searing riff and machine-gun blast beat. The guitars cut through with a scorching overdrive, pushing the album’s intensity into overdrive while maintaining a jagged, unpolished edge that keeps it firmly grounded in underground extremity.
The band’s unwavering commitment to their craft is evident throughout, as they unleash an unrelenting barrage of venomous black/thrash riffs and seething vocal shrieks. There’s a primal energy at play here—each track propelled by a no-frills, take-no-prisoners approach that embodies the essence of the genre’s most vicious traditions. While Ampütator doesn’t stray from their established formula, they sharpen it to deadly effect, delivering a record that is as punishing as it is straightforward in its intent.
For fans of unrelenting blackened thrash in the vein of Nifelheim and early Aura Noir, Deathcult Barbaric Hell is a blistering and ferocious listen. It doesn’t reinvent the wheel, but it does smash through it with sheer brute force. If raw aggression, chainsaw guitars, and pure sonic warfare are what you seek, Ampütator delivers in full.
