Limited to only 150 copies on black vinyl.
Hammer of Damnation proudly unleashes the LP edition of one of the most extreme, repulsive, obscene, and downright filthy works ever created in Brazil. Originally recorded nearly two decades ago, Body Hurting Art captures the unfiltered essence of Brazilian extreme metal in its purest form. It is no overstatement to place this sole full-length by Osculum Obscenum among the nation’s most important releases, standing alongside INRI, Wicca, and The Lamb’s Fury as a defining monument of sonic extremity.
Body Hurting Art hits with unapologetic intensity from the very first note. Osculum Obscenum harnesses the chaotic essence of extreme metal and injects it with a raw, distinctly Brazilian edge. Blistering tempos collide with dense, abrasive riffing, creating a sound that is both primal in spirit and deliberate in execution.
Relentless blast beats and venomous vocals dominate, yet beneath the dissonance lies a sharp technical command. Brief moments of variation, slower, crushing passages or unsettling samples, puncture the assault, only to be swept away by another wave of ferocity. This ebb and flow sharpens the impact, ensuring that every second leaves its mark.
Dark, transgressive, and unyielding, the album moves with a grim cohesion that avoids chaos for chaos’s sake. Across its thirty-minute runtime, it demands full immersion and rewards with a punishing yet artful experience.
Feral and uncompromising, Body Hurting Art stands as a powerful testament to Osculum Obscenum’s ability to transform sonic violence into something memorable. For those drawn to unfiltered extremity executed with purpose, it remains a deeply satisfying plunge into darkness.
