Liste des groupes Death Metal Insepulto Morbid Spawn of Resurrection

Have you got bored by NWOSDM yet? Tired of the million bands playing sub-par Immolation/Incantation/Autopsy? Fed up with the endless revival of Swedish Death Metal? As a lover of anything old-school in Death Metal, I must admit that it sometimes seems we’ve reached the limit of this “new wave’ which, to be quite frank, is starting to get old all over again. But then again, among the many labels trying to jump in the bandwagon a few find some real gems for which we can only be thankful. This year saw the excellent releases of bands like Gorephilia, Horrendous or Resurgency which plainly satisfy my needs for this music and help soothe the boredom created by the other much more numerous bad OSDM records.

And when you thought it couldn’t get better this year, here comes Insepulto’s Morbid Spawn of Resurrection from Costa Rica. Obviously it’s not like Costa Rica or even Central America has always been a cradle for anything Death Metal but if globalization can sometimes be a plague, in terms of extreme music, let’s all be thankful that quality bands may emerge from countries you thought were good enough to produce pineapples or bananas.

Signed on Polish Psycho Records, the band might very well find itself revered in a short while and help their label achieve better international visibility. But what exactly makes Insepulto so outstanding that it would deserve such praises? Think of it, when was the last time you’ve heard a “new” Death Metal album that could combine both the thrashy violence of Altars of Madness with the memorable riffing of Consuming Impulse? If there is such a band out there, I must concede I haven’t heard of it. Sure you could say that to a certain extent Horrendous developed on The Chills atmospheres that really were on par with Pestilence’s masterpiece, but that’s exactly what they focused most on: atmospheres.

It’s not that Morbid Spawn of Resurrection is totally devoid of atmospheres but they’ve definitely favored efficiency and catchiness in all compartments than just rely on sole atmosphere. Which is where the Altars of Madness comparison comes in handy because sometimes you’d really feel as if those songs could have made an extended cut for Abominations of Desolation with, among others, the track Misanthropic with its almost outspoken allegiance to Lord of all Fevers and Plagues. With a singer close to that of Mexico’s Denial and soli a la Mameli, you have all the arguments to see why it’s destined for greatness.

Just like Resurgency earlier on this year, Insepulto have not only managed to fully grasp the real essence of Death Metal but they’ve infused their very own spirit into it. And rather than mimicking other cult bands by merely reproducing their sound, they’ve taken it to the level where one may actually think of a band as really bringing something to the scene instead of only borrowing from it. I wouldn’t be surprised if listeners will find other parallels to be made with the band and see here and there some Asphyx, Sinister or Bolt Thrower touches because Insepulto, while having their own take on Death Metal, embrace the greatness of most founding fathers.

Soon to be essential, Insepulto’s debut will most likely please old turds that have been in the scene for some 20 years just as they will enchant the newer generation. Because excellent records remain forever timeless.
