  Brutal death metal from Houston, TX, this album is wall-to-wall burped death-grunt vocals over nearly constant blast beats and squealing guitar. The subject matter is what you might expect: serial killers and gross-out violence.

  It's fine for what it is, but nothing stands out about it. While I find complaints that "all death metal sounds the same" to be shallow and tiresome, there are, in fact, about a million records that sound like this one, and I repeatedly caught myself kind of tuning it out while I focused on other tasks.

  The album is only 23 minutes long, though, so…
