VOLTURYON
'Coordinated
Mutilation'
(United
Guttural Records)
Volturyon
hit us up with their sophomore record and my first listening of this
Swedish group. Maybe you are expecting some old Swedish death metal
or perhaps the newer melodic Scandinavian sounds? You would be wrong
on both counts. What 'Coordinated Mutilation' is all about is
brutality and I am talking about brutality of the American kind. I
think it would be fair to say Cannibal Corpse is a big influence on
these guys and a template for their music. Sure it is derivative, but
it is also executed quite well and Volturyon hit you with a barrage
of barbwire wrapped riffs, some excellent drum work, the odd guitar
soloing and caged bear adrenalized vocals. I enjoyed it. But let’s
be honest this is really only for diehard fans of vicious American
death metal made popular in the 90s. Then again if you are shopping
the United Guttural catalog then you already worship this style of
violent storm.
