GOREPHILIA "Severed Monolith" LP
Five years and two new members â drummer Kauko Kuusisalo who joined right after the release of their debut album and second six-stringer Pauli Gurko who arrived last year â later, Finlandâs most in-your-face death metal band is back and they still are forging their way with a hammer.
âThis was meant at first to be an EPâ reveals their original guitarist Jukka Aho âbut it slowly grew into a full-length. Some of the songs date all the way back to 2012 and the material has had much time to ferment resulting in GOREPHILIAâs most refined compositions yet. The lyrics explore the inner conflict and self-destructive nature of man - parting from his will, values and life. The album was recorded with Tommi Otsavaara, mostly live in studio with the exception of vocals and guitar solos, just like for our debut."
If lately many of their contemporaries, including famed label mates KRYPTS whom Jukka is incidentally also part of, have decided to reconnect themselves with the âclassic Finnish soundâ of the early 90âs, GOREPHILIA have on the other hand decided to go against the tide and turn their gaze towards the US for inspiration. Their goal is pretty simple: making sure their take on the genre has the kind of sudden impact few will recover from. Whereas others tend to wave around their prey, theyâre in for the kill and after âEmbodiment of Deathâ back in 2012, their second full-length âSevered Monolithâ is deemed to twist the knife in the wound even deeper.
The only moment where youâll be able to catch your breath is the interlude âWords That Solve Problemsâ, basically a stepping stone for the following onslaught, âBlack Hornsâ. And the first track previewed âThe Ravenous Stormâ is no different, with its furious barrage of blasts and blistering solos. Rounded off by Raul Gonzalez âcosmicâ artwork reminiscent of what he already had done for MORBUS CHRON, âSevered Monolithâ is just that, a testament to death metal crushing power.
