Notes

Devastation’s second full-length, Signs of Life, followed the band’s 1987 debut and marked a major leap in speed, aggression and songwriting. Released by Combat Records on October 2, 1989, it captures the Corpus Christi quintet at the boundary between late-’80s thrash and emerging death metal. The nine-song set is driven by rapid, tightly packed riff changes, abrasive twin-guitar attacks and relentless drumming, with Rodney Dunsmore’s clipped, hardcore-tinged shouts riding above the violence. “Tomorrow We Die” later appeared on the 1990 Speed Kills 5 compilation.

Recorded in November 1988 at Goodnight Studios in Dallas, Kerry Crafton handled production and engineering while the band co-produced; mastering was completed at Frankford/Wayne Mastering Labs in New York. The raw but forceful sound keeps the rhythm guitars and thick bass prominent, while the drums and leads intensify the record’s breathless attack. “Fear of the Unknown” provides a comparatively expansive, slower-moving contrast, and “Retribution” and the title track interrupt the speed with heavier, more deliberate passages. Tommy Pons supplied the artwork, with photography by Gus Vasquez. The lyrics focus on death, life and anti-Satanic themes rather than conventional occult imagery.

Outre-Tombe - Nécrovortex (2018)

ArtistOutre-Tombe

AlbumNécrovortex

LabelTemple of Mystery Records

Released – October 17th, 2018

Type – Full-length

Additional

Notes

Nécrovortex is the second full-length by Québec City death metal band Outre-Tombe, released October 17, 2018. The principal CD edition was issued by Temple of Mystery Records, with the label's vinyl edition following on December 28. The recording lineup was Crachat on vocals and bass, Cobra and Désastre on guitars, and Vitesse on drums.

The album was recorded between March and May 2018 at Holywaves Studio in Saint-Tite-des-Caps, Québec; release credits identify Olivier Vaillancourt-Girard as recording engineer, with no separate producer credit consistently documented. Sonically, Nécrovortex uses a deliberately raw, organic production: heavily saturated rhythm guitars, prominent bass, dry forceful drums and low guttural French vocals. The riffing alternates fast tremolo and thrash-derived passages with slower, syncopated death-metal grooves and double-bass-driven sections. Rather than modern high-gain separation, the mix keeps the instruments compressed toward the front, producing a dense late-'80s/early-'90s death-metal character while retaining enough definition for the album's tightly constructed riff changes.

Tracklist

1. La Crypte – 4:15 >
Condamné pour nécromancie La sentence est la mort L'hérétique finira sa vie Dans la crypte avec les morts Le tombeau est scellé à jamais Aucune lumière pour le guider Sur les murs, des hiéroglyphes maudits Condamnant, une nouvelle de vie Dans les ténèbres des craquements atroces Sur la pierre froide, Un cercueil en os Dans le noir, la chose se réveille Rendue folle par l'odeur du sang vermeil Déchiqueté par des dents anciennes Sans lumière la défense est vaine L'hérétique est vidé de son sang Décuplont les forces du revenant Condamné pour nécromancie Emmuré avec les morts Son coeur bat par socellerie Six pieds sous la terre il dort
2. Désintégration – 2:54 >
La brume s'étend, sur les marais, la mort s'installe perfidement Abimes mortelles, brouillard toxique, Rongeant la chair et les os Empoisonné par les gaz Tut t'enforces dans la vase Entrainé dans la fange Dans un liquide étrange Odeur répugnante de décomposition Ta peau commence à fondre Désintégration! Consumé vivant, fou de souffrance La douleur est insoutenable Tes orbites fondent, ta chair succombe Tu créves dans la pénombre Éventré, par l'acide Sombrant dans l'abysse, condamné Étranglé, dans ton propre sang Désintégration, carcasse dévorée
3. Aberration – 4:02 >
Dans un cachot sale et humide Des créations grotesque et putrides Expériences sadiques D'un esprit malsain Chimères inachevées laissées à leur destin Mémoires effacées, cerveaux opérées Plaies infectées, organes mutilées Troubles d'identités On t'a greffé des corps étrangers Aberration, chairs dénaturées Mutilation, tes jours sont comptés Mains déchiquetées, la douleur atroce Jambes amputées, Sciées jusqu'à l'os Transfusions sanguines, Génétique porcine Opéré à froid, au bord du coma Aberration, corps désincarné Transplantation, expériences ratées Existence insupportable, Tu commets l'irréparable Ton esprit s'effondre, Dans un vide immonde
4. Écorché Vif – 3:41 >
L'oube enfin se lève Ou n'est-ce encore qu'un rêve? Le martyr achève Lentement il crève Le poignard sectionne les chairs Quand viendra la fin du calvaire? L'os apparait, sanglant Sous les cris du mourant Les vers le dévorent vivant Décharné. La morsure du froid est insuportable Exalté, il voit les cieux s'ouvrir pour son trépas Nul berger, ne l'attend en vérité Possédé, il vit ses derniers instants, écorché vif

5. Concile Cadavérique – 3:43

6. Hécatombe II – 2:14 >
Une brèche entre les mondes Incantations d'outre-tombe Portail nécroplasmique Présence cadavérique Nécromancie Supérieure Passage de l'horreur Langue morte interdite Annonçant l'apocalypse Nécrovortex La mort rôde dans les ténèbres Gémissant des chants funébres Notre monde est condamné Massacré jusqu'au dernier Horde Nécrophage, Génocide de la chair Yeux rouges écarlates, Tyrans tentaculaire Horreur misanthropique, L'humanité osservie Aube morbide. Charoanes outride Offrandes imposées Sur l'autel sacrifiées Extinction imminente, Exécutions sanglantes Cérémonies incessantes, Soif de sang dévorante Ossements empilés, Sépultures érigées
7. Nécrovortex – 4:13 >
Sépulture profanée, Le mort est exhumé Froid, raide et desséché, Les chairs décomposées Tribunal hérétique, Accusé squelettique Moriband sur ton trône, La puanteur est immonde Accusé d'hérésie, parjure et infamie Dépouillé dans sa tombe, Laissée dans les décombres Muet dans la mort, On décide de son sort Les doigts amputés, De son trirègne dépouillé Concile cadavérique! Concile cadavérique! Exhumé pour tes péchés, Tu subis ton jugement dernier Le sort s'abat sur les conjurés Traqué par une force spectrale Éradiqués jusqu'au dernier
8. L'enfer Des Tranchés – 3:30 >
Dans l'odeur des condamnés, la mort triomphe Impuissant à les sauver, Les cadavres gonflent La douleur des spasmes Infection Rongé par les miasmes Charcuté Étranglés par l'odeur des macchabés, Les médecins sont dépassés Des plaques noires sur la peau, Ils ont creusés leurs tombeaux Leurs remédes impuissants Les malades crachent du sang La douleur des spasmes Infection Rongé par les miasmes Charcuté Il faut brûler les cadavres, Ifectés par les larves Rongé par les miasmes
9. Vengeance Spectrale – 3:30 >
Entité cauchemardesque, Furie vengeresse Manifestation spectrale, Engendrée par le mal Odeur nauséabonde, Venue d'un autre monde Intention maléfique, torture psychique Vengeance de l'au-delà, C'est fini pour toi Apparitions morbides, Visions des martyrs Dans la tombe la lumière Meurt lentement Éttranglée par le souffle de la mort Oppression spectrale dévorante Affamée par la peur des vivants Une présence derrière toi, Le regard mort et pále Une main t'attrape la gorge, De ses griffes elle t'égorge Lente est ton agonie, Elle s'abrueve de ta vie Ses yeux tel un gouffre, Aspirent ton dernier souffle
10. Rongé Par Les Miasmes – 3:57 >
Sous la terre ils attendent la mort Odeur de soufre, puanteur des corps Sanglots d'agonie, Haine de l'ennemie Putréfaction Hallucination mortification Intoxication Indoctrination Manipulation Offensive en puissance, les munitions manquent Baïonettes aux canons, sous les explosions Six pieds sous terre, déjà dans la tombe T'es pogné au front sous une volée de plomb Pas de chance de survie, crève pour ta patrie L'enfer des tranchées A eu raison de toi Tu baigne dans ton sang, parmi tes frères d'armes Enterré par le temps, oublié rapidement Putréfaction Hallucination Mortification Intoxication Indoctrination Manipulation
