Prostitute Disfigurement Descendants of Depravity

At first glance, a band called
Prostitute Disfigurement seems like just another brutal death metal band, offering us 9 tracks of total blasturbation. But I was completely taken back with what I heard. This isnt just blast beats and constant growling.
Descendants of Depravity is chock full of brooding melodies expertly mixed with intense death metal riffing. Listening to this album, I hear a big
Immolation and
Vital Remains influence. As a matter of fact, I think the blending of these two styles brings something somewhat new to the death metal game. It isnt ground breaking, but it sounds different enough to pleasantly surprise the skeptics in the scene.
I think most would agree that modern death metal has gotten a bit stale. The scene is over saturated with
Suffocation worship, and its really time for a change. I think
Prostitute Disfigurement have realized this, and are working to change it. Sure there are strong connections to modern death metal, but their use of melody and mid paced tempos provide a welcome break from the sheer brutality we have been given over the last 8 years.
So if you dig the modern death metal sound, but are looking for some variety, go buy
Descendants of Depravity.
