| Colombian death metal purveyors Funeral Vomit unleash an unrelenting torrent of putridity with their self-titled EP—a grim follow-up to the raw devastation of Necrophoric Infestation and their earlier split releases. This six-track, 30-minute opus is a festering plunge into the grotesque depths of death metal’s most morbid corners, solidifying Funeral Vomit as a force of uncompromising filth and doom.
From the opening swampy mire of Jaws of Darkness, the band wastes no time in dragging listeners into their abysmal soundscape. Drummer J. Incinerator delivers relentless, hammering beats that echo like seismic waves through the clanking low-end of H. Mortum’s bass. The guitar work oozes with slime-drenched tones, layering thick, oppressive riffs atop the guttural gurgles of O. Vomit, whose vocal performance embodies the sound of gutted entrails being sucked into a vortex of chaos. It’s a sonic experience so vivid, you can almost smell the decay.
Tracks like Necrophoric Infestation and Clots showcase Funeral Vomit’s mastery of tempo shifts, moving seamlessly from putrid, crawling doom passages to frenzied bursts of splattered brutality. Each note feels soaked in rancid effluence, as the band teeters on the edge of unhinged madness. This balance of speed and suffocating sludge ensures no moment feels stagnant, every second laden with visceral, bile-churning energy.
As the EP progresses, the horror intensifies. Funeral Incantation churns with an oppressive grind, while Emerging Abomination and Sempiternal Torture embody the rotting, earthen dread that defines Funeral Vomit’s sound. Every riff, every guttural growl, every percussive crash serves as a reminder of the genre’s gruesome potential, dragging listeners further into a mire of decayed sonic brilliance.
Funeral Vomit’s self-titled EP is a towering monument to death metal’s most grotesque extremes. This is no mere collection of songs—it’s an immersive descent into a cesspool of grimy, congealed horrors that demands to be experienced in full. Prepare to drown in the filth and welcome the rot.
