Вот первая встреченная мною рецензия на просторах инета: Hailing from Russia, Sufferatory let loose with this four tracks of brutal death metal for this EP from Sevared Records. Mixing social and political commentary with a brutal death metal core sound, the band chugs through monstrous riffs and machine gun blasts. Using tempo changes to their advantage, Sufferatory shift from ultra slow, crushing breakdowns to churning sludge and back again while Bular’s mid-range vocals bark and growl.
Defective Mentality
The first track on the EP starts off with a sound clip from what I can only assume is a foreign language horror flick. After about 35 seconds the band comes in with a quick paced bit of riffing and drums. The vocals are powerful and sit in the mid-range realm and are somewhat understandable. Bular’s delivery isn’t nearly as unintelligible as some growlers in this genre and he uses some range in his vocal efforts as well. Creative drum blasts and a steady rhythm keep the flow of this one moving along at a brisk pace. This one is your pretty standard bit of death metal.
Pestiferous Spawn
Chugging riffs and a big growl get “Pestiferous Spawn” churning right from the start. This one has a bit of a Suffocation feel to it, that’s not overly inspired, but is a nice touch when mixed with the bands ultra slow and brutal breakdowns — one of which shows up at the two minute mark.
Throne of Inveracity
Another sound clip starts off the third track on the disc right before heavy riffing and rapid fire drums grab you by the throat. After that initial blast the band settles into a nice mid tempo groove as Bular growls away. There are some nice bass notes throughout and chugging cadence from the rhythm section. “Throne of Inveracity” sort of has a thrash feel to a few of its riffs — a nice touch if you ask me.
Effigy of Nihilism
The opening track opens up with a clip from a song (could be a Russian or Soviet tune). Churning riffs get the pace going with more Suffocation inspiration built in as the band picks up their pace. More thick bass work is highlighted throughout this one as well. I particularly like the breakdown and growl at the 2:25 mark. The track ends with the same anthemic sound clip that started it.

I hadn’t heard of these guys before, but I’m enjoying this EP. Their take on slamming brutal death metal isn’t revolutionary, but when mixed with the band’s sludgy tones and ultra slow breaks, it makes for a good listen. All in all, this is a solid release and I look forward to hearing more from this Russian group.
