Album Review: Corpsefucking Art - Tomatized
Reviewed by Dan Phipps
Italy's death metal scene is absolutely top class in every facet and time and time again we are being treated with releases by top class bands new and old. Today we are looking at a name that's been around for almost 30 years and hailing from Rome under the name Corpsefucking Art. 6 years since they last graced us with a record (2018’s Splatterphobia) they are back with a new selection of material under the title Tomatized.
Crushing riffs and slick grooves, if that's your thing then the Italian machine has hit the mark in every sense. Throughout the albums 9 glorious offerings Corpsefucking Art provides you with a devastating display of brutality, through a more classic approach to compose this latest creation.
Right from the off Tomatized hits you with a real crunchy and crushing sound, it collects a savage selection of riffs from your more grind styled death metal riffs which will then merge into some really solid groovy riffs in the flick of a switch, it's all extremely well executed. Along with the fun and devastating riffing Corpsefucking Art also adds to the mix pummeling drums and powerful vocals into the final product. You really get yourself a really solidly crafted slab of straight forward grinding death metal.
Tomatized is a straightforward approach to songwriting which creates a fantastic result. It contains the power and groove of a classic band such as Cannibal Corpse especially the Barnes era with the force and pummeling brutal nature of Mortician. If you want all killer and no filler death metal which checks all the boxes when it comes to ensuring its entertaining and keeps you engaged then Corpsefucking Art have done just that.
