Violent Dirge - Elapse, 2019 CD Album Reissue Remastered      Pagan Records - MOON 123 In the remote corners of the basement sit old tapes full of corrosion and death. After decades of slow rot and grey dust, an excited exhumation brings them to the light of day and reveals their vicious power. Violent Dirge were one killer band with the combined destructive abilities of Sadus, Grave, Dark Angel, Ripping Corpse and Gorguts. Absolute first class material! Their usage of heavy artillery with precision and class makes their barbarous delivery all the more impressive and enjoyable. There is complexity in the disgust and there is virtuosity in the hate. Expert world war riffing, giant pummeling drumming, prominent killer bass lines, horror voices from the crypts of zer, clarity of destination through the density of architecture and mechanized butchery! Zerification of the obliteration! Metalization of the total thrashing death! These tapes did not age too well. A link to a better/CD rip of Obliteration and one for Craving are of course very much appreciated. Remove brackets and unzip: [obliterizer] !ZER Violent Dirge ZER!
