Notes

Consuming Impulse (stylized as Consvming Impvlse) is the second studio album by Dutch Pestilence, released December 25, 1989 (Europe January 9, 1990) via R/C Records (Roadrunner sub-label). It marks the final album with vocalist/bassist Martin van Drunen and the band's shift from thrash-influenced debut to heavier, more atmospheric death metal.

Lineup: Martin van Drunen — vocals, bass; Patrick Mameli — guitars; Patrick Uterwijk — guitars; Marco Foddis — drums.

Recorded in 1989 at Music Lab Berlin and produced by Harris Johns. Front cover drawing by Squeal. The album features a raw, crunchy production that emphasises crushing riffs and nightmarish atmosphere over the speed of the debut.

It stands alongside Death's Leprosy, Morbid Angel's Altars of Madness, Obituary's Slowly We Rot, Sepultura's Beneath the Remains, and Autopsy as a key late-'80s death metal release, with some doomy sections drawing Celtic Frost comparisons. Lyrical themes focus on bodily decay, dehydration, suffocation, trauma, and existential horror.

Original formats: CD, LP, cassette. No bonus tracks on initial pressings; later reissues (including 2023 Agonia remaster by Satanic Audio) include demos and live material. A music video was produced for "Out of the Body", a fan favourite alongside "Dehydrated". Inducted into Decibel Magazine's Hall of Fame in 2013; AllMusic awarded 4.5/5 stars.

Jesus Wept - Psychedelic Degeneracy (2022)

Jesus Wept — Dispossession (Track 2)

Information

Artist – Jesus Wept

Album – Psychedelic Degeneracy

Label – Redefining Darkness Records

Released – March 11th, 2022

Type – EP

Genre – Melodic Death Metal

Additional

Notes

Psychedelic Degeneracy is the second EP from Detroit, Michigan four-piece Jesus Wept, released March 11, 2022 on Redefining Darkness Records. It follows Apartheid Redux (2020) — itself a reworking of their self-released 2017 debut Crushing Apartheid — and precedes the White Room Torture split with Trocar (2023). The lineup on this release is C. Colaianni (vocals, lyrics), R. Versace (guitars), N. Barnes (bass, backing vocals), and C. McCoy (drums). Tracked in March 2021 at Bricktop Recording in Chicago by Andy Nelson (ex-Weekend Nachos, Like Rats), the EP was mixed and mastered by Christopher "Zeuss" Harris, whose production credits span Rob Zombie, Hatebreed, and Suffocation. Artwork by Ben DiNino references the collage aesthetic of Carcass's Symphonies of Sickness, foregrounding the band's Heartwork- and Necroticism-era fixation; cover photography by Chloe Whitehouse, layout by Nestor Carrera.

The four tracks — "Surgical Punishment Symmetry," "Dispossession," "Psychedelic Degeneracy," and "God Fetish" — run approximately 16 minutes and sit at the intersection of Heartwork-lineage melodic death metal, death 'n' roll groove, and the bluesier undercurrent of '80s LA heavy metal. Points of comparison include Carcass, Entombed, Gorefest, and contemporary American peers Gatecreeper. Colaianni has described the lyrical thrust as "sex/drug ballads and behavioral observation," concerning what he called "the degeneration of the human spirit and various moral constructs" — surgical horror imagery ("Thrgymmetry" opens with a sampled medical procedure description), substances, and blasphemy recur across the four cuts. The EP received an exclusive premiere at Decibel Magazine and a track premiere at Invisible Oranges, with coverage also from Meat Mead Metal and Toilet ov Hell. Released on CD (limited to 500 copies) and digitally via Redefining Darkness; a later cassette edition appeared through Gurgling Gore (limited to 200, neon pink norelco cases, blue swirl shell). A 12" vinyl compiling both Jesus Wept EPs — Psychedelic Degeneracy on Side A, Apartheid Redux on Side B — was issued in an edition of 250 (125 Aside/Bside blue + hot pink; 125 splatter).

Tracklist

1. Surgical Punishment Symmetry – 05:32 >

Eye for eye. In indignation, judgment falls. Mortal debt repaid. Absolved of antiquated sin. Retaliation in kind. No rest; lurking consciousness. Prayer caresses deafened ears. Blistered guilt. Becoming sacrifice of the flesh to atone. Blood for blood. Vindication; mutilated into idle form. Qisas - hallowed reprisal. Column torn from within. Parity; savage infliction. Judicially maimed. The searing mark of vendetta’s reach; sacral rend to redeem. Stasis abide. From the depths of depravity, blaring howls of screaming vengeance. Crescent doctrine maintained. Ritual denervation. Bereft of humanity. The agony of a living grave. Scathing. Unyielding. Scorn for the mortal’s plight. Forsaken reverie. Abrogate deserted felony. Vile creation of earthen wrath incarnate. Forensic graying. All life withdrawn. Abatic reflection. Vital torment unchained. Abandoned salvation. No compassion remains.

2. Dispossession – 03:15 >

Arise from comatic recession, evanescing in silent decay. Disillusioned, the ruin of spirit unearthing forgotten dreams. Trepidation. Disengage. The sallow aether of my aura pervades. Intrusive thoughts, discordant and harrowing. There is no escape. Futility of hope; crushed by the hands of fate. On wings of anguish toward a future unknown. Fade out. No purpose from pain. Life is not your own. Cries of benighted despondence. Vessel bound; prison of mind. Dying light of chimeric horizon, I am staring blind. Pneumatic deprivation. Diffusing into entropy. Wrested command. Every breath a eulogy. On wings of anguish toward a future unknown. Fade out. Steel dragging the vein. Life is not your own.

3. Psychedelic Degeneracy – 03:38 >

This is catharsis; euphoric purgation. Celestial divide. Harmonious rapture. Woven venation; fluids surging malign. Pallid grain and yawning maw, languid hymns seeping forth. Strings above marionette. Yearn to sever the cord. Tension suspended, vacuous and cold. Entrancing impairment of my body repose. Voided solution in transient grace. Pillars of amber; a vibrant shade… Reality unfolds. Welling narcosis, soma abandoned. Aeons to burn. Decadent bastard. Forbidden elixir, slake the greed of my nerves. Squalid tryst; a love obscure. Coalesce in withering grasp. Scar-crossed stigmata unborn. Visionary collapse. I smirk in the face of death.

4. God Fetish – 04:04 >

Violent passion and criminal skin. My poison corrupts you again. Profane obsession, like moth to flame. Awakening of the flesh as you descend. Eager tongued, drink your fill. Echo the desperate call. Kneel before me, Lord above thee. Beg me to take control. Sapphire tongue tracing your moral crest. Evocation of serpent form. Crux on thy barren chest. Seraphic coition. Thelemic copulation. Pleading resignation. Object of lust, slave to my will. Embrace and entrust, bestriding my kill. Light, incandescent. Eternal blessing of flame. Cast down; still beloved. Your addiction remains. Graven desire; quaking limbs slanted wide. Wicked thirst all-consuming, aching to take me inside. Fane of sin, satin veiled. Servile thrall - whore of lust divine.

Disincarnate - Dreams of the Carrion Kind (1993)

Disincarnate — Entranced (Track 7)

Artist – Disincarnate

Album – Dreams of the Carrion Kind

Label – Roadrunner Records

Released – March 23rd, 1993

Type – Full-length

Genre – Death Metal

Notes

Dreams of the Carrion Kind, the sole full-length album by Disincarnate, was released on March 23, 1993 via Roadrunner Records. It is the debut and only studio album from the Tampa, Florida death metal band, emerging near the peak of the early 90s Florida scene. The project was led by guitarist James Murphy, who handled lead/rhythm/acoustic guitars and bass after stints with Death, Obituary, and Cancer, seeking to realize his own songwriting vision with less restricted input. The four-piece core lineup featured Bryan Cegon — vocals (lyrics), Jason Carman — rhythm guitar, and Tommy Viator — drums, with Murphy as primary composer and co-writer alongside Cegon and Carman. It was recorded at The Windings in North Wales, UK and mixed at Amazon Studios in Liverpool, produced and mixed by Colin Richardson with engineering by Pete Coleman. Stylistically rooted in technical, groove-heavy Florida death metal with melodic solos, it aligns with Morbid Angel, Monstrosity and Massacre. Lyrical themes focus on death, agony and torment. Primary release on CD (approx. 47:45), with later expanded editions including the "Soul Erosion" demo tracks; guest vocals by Aaron Stainthorpe (My Dying Bride) on one track and John Walker on another. It holds a respected underground position with consistently strong retrospective reviews for its riffing, technicality and cohesion.

Tracklist

1. De Profundis – 00:45

2. Stench of Paradise Burning – 04:50 >

Horrid life of cruelty strips the soul away Evil lies revealed, it's a presence undenied Crumbling morality infects the swarming race Flames of the unfettered, a fate beyond redemption Cleansing fire, all consuming Idyllic dream, lost in chaos Suffer Procession into darkness, descent to degradation Contemptuous of impurity, inferno of extinction Drowning in a sea of fire, the rapture of cremation Entranced by lucid visions of paradise in flames Writhing pit of misery from which there's no escape Doomed before inception to end in suffering Grovelling in decadence, in fear of retribution Blackened corpse of paradise scorched and turned to ash Procession into darkness, descent to degradation Contemptuous of impurity, inferno of extinction Cleansing fire, all consuming Idyllic dream, lost in chaos Drowning in a sea of fire, the rapture of cremation Only death remains and the stench of paradise burning

3. Beyond the Flesh – 04:48 >

Paralyzed as my life slips away I'm mortified by my disease Terrified of my mortality But doomed to find what lies beyond My conscience reawakens As I she'd my mortal shell Drifting in the memories Of a once embodied life Lost beyond the carnal realm Absorbed in desolation Trapped within this labyrinth Of faded recollection Deceased and yet my mind remains Endless mental excruciation Tormented thorough memory No life beyond the flesh My body rotting in the grave Its vital essence gone My spirit writhes in nothingness Serenity has been denied me Afterlife of suffering In immortal unconsciousness I'm agonised eternally By absence of flesh Deceased and yet my mind remains Endless mental excruciation Tormented thorough memory Why can't I rest in peace? Wallowing in empty pain I'm plagued with lust to live again Damned to spent eternity In disembodied misery Imprisoned in this solitary hell Anguished by visions of life In mourning of my tortured destiny Tantalized forevermore

4. In Sufferance – 04:56 >

Rituals contrived to ease the mind Mysteries revealed, or are they lies? The ultimate truth remains unknown until you die Feeding the madness of uncertainty Fearful of revenge But sowing the violent seed A lifetime of transgressions Mentally tortured Self-inflicted punishment No judgement more severe A twisted course bound by fate Spiralling plunge, shrouded in fear Is there a purpose or merely destiny? Master or pawn of life's cruelties Fearful of revenge But sowing the violent seed A lifetime of transgressions Mentally tortured Self-inflicted punishment No judgement more severe The curse of life, anticipating fate Aware that one day death will come Infernal shadows cast upon our earthly shells Does life just cease or are our souls reborn? Enigma of the absolute Useless to repent What is the cost of paradise A living death of righteous lies Shackled by a mindless faith Lamenting in vain Falling deep into distress Life spent in sufferance Shattered mind, corrupted flesh Cowering in mortal fear Clinging to a fading life Futile prayer as the end draws near Body now a withered frame Fallen prey to time Final thoughts are a regret Dying without ever knowing life In sufferance

5. Monarch of the Sleeping Marches – 05:02 >

On the nightward shores of dream Beyond the waking plain Gates of horn and ivory Bid welcome to Oneiro's domain Enter the nocturnal world Haunt of weary minds Revel in the fields of nightmare Dreams of the Carrion kind Monarch of the sleeping marches Creature of no end Son of Hypnos, shaper of the dreaming Abducted and imprisoned With escape he takes revenge His captors face the nightmare everlasting Visit to the realms infernal Come to reclaim his own Domicile of damned souls Demonkind and the neverborn Taking flight on nothing winds Through uncreated wastes Wary of the perils Beyond damnation's gates Called upon by destiny Conclave of the endless now begins Dream taunted by desire Returning once again to the abyss Within the bounds, infernal now Desolation reigns supreme Forsaking his majestic realm The first among the fallen sheds his wings Cursed with the abysmal key Tortured souls are now unleased Possession of this black kingdom Now the burden of Lord Morpheus On the nightward shores of dream Beyond the waking plain Gates of horn and ivory Bid welcome to Oneiro's domain Creator of the dreamscape Lord of weary minds Revel in the fields of nightmare Dreams of the Carrion kind Monarch of the sleeping marches Creature of no end Son of Hypnos, shaper of the dreaming Triumphantly resolving The sovereignty of hell Free now to return to his dominion

6. Soul Erosion – 04:40 >

Life's tragedies, leaving mental scars Tortured by fear Viciousness breeding emptiness A sickness of the soul, emotions mummified Affliction of dementia, compassion nullified A weakened state of being Which leaves the sences numb Victimized by despair And unrelenting depression The death of innocence Virtue's decay Engulfed by selfishness As the soul begins to fade Overcome by subconscious urges Driven to sadistic release A wretched fleeting existence Devoid of humanity Destroyed by years of defilement Conscience devoured Drawn into infamy Sanity decomposed Scourge of subconsciousness Erosion of soul Metamorphosis Cynical and inhuman The mind desensitized By traumatic evolution Compelled into derangement By a life of atrocities Overcome by subconscious urges Driven to sadistic release A wretched fleeting existence Devoid of humanity

7. Entranced – 05:51 >

Ancestral home in the twilight deeps Beckons to me with unseen fingers Forefathers haunt Calling to me from this dark charnel house Corrupted through lifelong seclusion Driven by an unnatural force Drawn to this vault Declivity where the light reaches not Enigmatic crypt of my bloodline Place of ancestral remains Temple of my fascination Possessing me Reversion to past generations A decadent state of the mind Return to repellant scions Of the primitive Enchanting black recesses of the past Welcome me to my true home Familiar far beyond the tenancy Of the body which I now possess Eyes affixed upon the dank portal Alone I lie entranced Echoes of my forgotten lives Summoning me to the gothic retreat Here I belong My casket awaits, my heritage calls Sinister flashes of supersight Penetrate the veils of empiricism Sanity wanes I witness my lineage perish in flames Enigmatic crypt of my bloodline Place of ancestral remains Temple of my fascination Possessing me Reversion to past generations A decadent state of the mind Return to repellant scions Of the primitive Delving into the terrors Of my inherited scorn Undeniable heritage Innocent nevermore Though but twenty-one winters have Chilled my bodily frame Blasphemy pours in torrents from my lips Enchanting black recesses of the past Welcome me to my true home Familiar far beyond the tenancy Of the body which I now possess Eyes affixed upon the dank portal Alone I lie entranced

8. Confine of Shadows – 05:04 >

Lurking in dormancy, unseen spore of hate Insidious infection, festering in dreams Rising from the hidden shadows of decay In solitude and suffering, an eon of Malignant incubation Unborn of silent fears and self delusion The anatomy of sorrow Soulless incarnation of disease Contagion of aberration The seed was once submerged Incessant torment Vile contemplation Of repulsive fantasies Causing imminent psychosis Horrific alteration Wrought from within The source of revulsion Withering away Once concealed, within the twisted maze of psyche Risen into dominance, obliteration of suppression Unborn of silent fears and self delusion The anatomy of sorrow Soulless incarnation of disease From the confine of shadows Engrossed in depravity Unchained spawn of hate Inner transformation The cycle now complete

9. Deadspawn – 04:28 >

Born with inhuman abilities Communication with the dead Necroscopic transfer From the afterlife Drawn to the fields of mortality Beckoned by the restless souls Nethworldly knowledge Seeps into the mind Deathless being, from beyond A sepulchral voice, incorporeal Unseen presence, ancient fiend I bequeath the night into thee Entity of immense evil Lying stagnant, shackled in the earth Undead and buried for centuries Crying out in crimson lust Corpses call, up from their tombs Silently, dead thoughts are exhumed Drawing strength from rotted minds Defying death, transcending time Echoing from rancid depths Ghastly voices of unrest Cries of fear from lives passed on Summoning the dead spawn Warned of the evil left behind And of perils yet to come Excavating wisdom Of the teeming dead Torn from his mortal existence Retreat into the continuum Disembodied specter Necroscope lives on Deathless being, from beyond A sepulchral voice, incorporeal Unseen presence, ancient fiend I bequeath the night into thee Entity of immense evil Lying stagnant, shackled in the earth Undead and buried for centuries Crying out in crimson lust Echoing from rancid depths Ghastly voices of unrest Cries of fear from lives passed on Summoning the dead spawn

10. Sea of Tears – 05:01 >

Inflicted upon willing flesh Obsession's punishment Resculpted Into deranged abstraction Infernal equinox Marks the time of configuration The nameless one Vasa Inquitatis His labyrinthine machinations Of blessed order shall prevail The heart of damnation quells The infection of chaos Sweet textures Of insane pleasures Sensations so unreal False punishment Glorious deception Born on a sea of tears Purified in pain Given structure, raped of human form Recreated flesh Embodiment of crystalline perfection Pirified in pain Clutching at the bossom of despair Huddled masses weep Eternal sorrow on a sea of tears
