Here I am back once again with Cesspool Of Corruption, this time I will be covering their first full-length album Requiems Of The Ignominious, released on August 6th, 2021 via Gore House Productions. Without any further delay, let’s get right into it and see what they managed to come out with 5 years since the release of their debut EP Eradication Of The Subservient.
In this album, you can hear clearly that the band continued their sacred tradition that they previous established with their debut EP Eradication Of The Subservient, with the use of technical and primitive death metal riffing and drumming with deep guttural vocals and harsh backing vocals, however there are some new interesting bits, like the first track 'Insidious Inheritance' that includes a bit of melodic work on the guitars and the heavy metal like guitar solo during the opening of 'A Hollow Existence'. The songwriting is totally insane this time, going for a much more dynamic approach that would make you bleed through your nostrils and your face melt. They seem to have upped their game since last time, as their songs sound much more pumped up in comparison to the ones from Eradication of The Subservient. Their performance is just as strong as it was before and they remained true to what they did 5 years back, but what I really admire about some of the songs on this album is that they display a bit more musical intensity and perhaps lean more towards the wicked death metal side. The songs on this album simply annihilate and eradicate from the very moment the band starts jamming, breaking any possible boundaries and going forth all the way through, the best example being seventh track 'Consuming The Diminished' which is one eradicating banger that takes no living soul breathing. The apocalyptic cover art by Justin Abraham perfectly showcases the fact that the band went ahead of themselves, especially with the kind of direction that they were going for with their first full-length. The sound production is high quality and pretty good, and much grander in comparison to the one on the Eradication Of The Subservient EP.
Despite the fact that I still am not particularly fond of this sort of death metal, I still like what the band is going with overall, and I can’t help but think that they are definitely evolving with every next release they come out with. Like I previously said, they certainly know their craft, and this time they absolutely proved it by every means necessary. If you still didn’t get to check out Cesspool Of Corruption, I would suggest that you first check out their debut EP and then jump right into Requiems Of The Ignominious.
