LightningRider I'm a guy who takes a binge on a specific genre seriously. The best way7 to educate yourself in any genre is to take advantage of being in the mood for it. But with most genres, I find a plethora of fantastic albums I'd easily recommend to anyone. When it comes to the slam death genre, a more specific version of brutal death, it's a bit of a challenge finding something that doesn't just chug or sound filthy and all the songs sound the same.

I need wild, and I need weird. I hate it when so many bands are just playing the same thing and ripping off other people. Such is not the case with the early discography of Disfiguring the Goddess, a (mostly) one man project by electronic producer Big Chocolate. And this album includes elements of electronica and deathcore, coming in at random points to give the album a unique personality that most brutal death bands fear to attempt. Big C. is clearly not afraid of metal purists, which is admirable considering that I'm against the purist attitude myself, specifically because DTG proves with his weird and wild style that he is willing to keep the darkness and chug factor up while being goofy. He never loses sight of raw heaviness.

The only problem is that this was the first time he attempted this style, so it wasn't perfected. A lot of the progressiveness in the electronic and deathcore influences is inconsistent because they pop up in such random places. This happens consistently throughout the album and can turn off people looking to explore DTG. Otherwise, this is an interesting debut, and it's worth looking into because the style gets better from here with other albums, but it all started out with this quirky and fearless debut.
