Possibly one of the heaviest crushing Brutal Death Metal forces within the Irish scene is the brilliant Congenital Abnormalities,a concise and thought out process by founding member Jordy Thompson over a number of years has created an absolute beast of a band,the final piece of the Jigsaw was the addition of ex-Jenova Vocalist Brian Harrington,although already really good beforehand this has catapulated them to an even higher standard which can be heard on their absolutely crushing new EP A Resurgence Of The Grotesque, let's dissect the finer details of this sublime offering.
The extremely sinister and dark approach to opener Pathological Execution has plenty of old school proclivities combined with modern slam to deliver maximum crushing power which have the aura of serial killer vibes, i'm led to believe that the excellent Forced Evolution is a reference to the Fallout game serious,this is were you start to notice the deranged and phenomenal vocal delivery,it's gut wrenching and sinister elements really create a sense of fear and dread, the technical prowess and groove shown on the brilliant Torn Hung Gutted adds another worthwhile element to the overall feel of the EP,even the lead guitar work on this sounds like something from the classic 90's Death Metal sound.
This release has everything you could possibly dream for ,quality musicianship,songwriting a penchant for nasty serial killer and gore inpired lyrical content,the production courtesy of JSR Audio is absolutely top notch,the artwork and every other element within this seriously sublime release,this is a definite contender to make my end of year list.
RATING: 9.5/10
