Review by Alex on February 17, 2020.

Unaffected by anti-viral vaccination, a bacterial infection forms and feeds on the shell of a living thing, in virulent opposition to immunity, this fungus grows, develops and bounds the organism to a miserable grave. While displaying symptomatic similarities of an Undergang at times, it does seem to borrow the characteristics of a Malignant Altar. Thus, it would be of fairness to say Anthropophagous has developed a semi-technical yet sickly-disturbing combination of death metal and grind core on their debut demo "Spoiled Marrow". 'Trial by Fist and Stone', 'Anthropophagous', 'Illness Enthroned' and 'Memento Mori' take us through a brief but foul set of happenings whose contagion properties when tested via litmus, would reveal a militantly acidic attrition. Gargoyle-like vocals, malicious riffing and a sharp-cracking of drum-snare formulate its warlike nucleus whose membrane remains impenetrable by any anti-fungal agent thus accelerating the cancerous spread. A very hostile Ep, yet at the same time also very tactical through its serpentine almost underhanded, illusive-transitions and insular oral taunts. More must come from Anthropophagous, the infections longs to spread...
