Disembodiment “Spiral Crypts”

Label: Everlasting Spew · Year: 2025

Hailing from Québec, Canada, Disembodiment is a band fully devoted to blood, filth, horror, gore, death, and the true spirit of death metal. Active since 2020, the band released an EP in 2021 and now presents their first full-length album, which has been out for roughly six months. This record clearly marks a major step forward, both in commitment and overall sonic sickness.

Musically, Disembodiment focus heavily on early 1990s death metal songwriting, drawing primarily from American OSDM while also incorporating elements of old European death and death-grind traditions. At times, the album even hints at that raw European death-grind flavour, yet it remains firmly rooted in North American death metal brutality. The compositions are never one-dimensional; instead, they constantly shift and evolve, with every instrument actively contributing to both the songwriting and the overall atmosphere.

Compared to the EP, the album sounds far more obsessed, more diseased, and more complete. The vocals are fit-in and strong, convincing, and dominated by deep American-style growls that fully serve the lyrics. There is no unnecessary technical show-off here; everything is exactly where it should be, raw and effective.

The dynamic songwriting and oppressive mood pull the listener straight into a dark, morbid old-school death metal nightmare. If you need a reference point, think early Repulsion, old Obituary, Broken Hope, Regurgitation, or Rottrevore. For fans of truly sick US OSDM, this album is an absolute hotspot.
