renkls Hey cool, I finally found a style of metal that I don't really enjoy. Well, that's still a bit harsh, but somehow the guttural vocals of this musical style really don't make me light up in joy. Cephalectomy play a mix of grindcore with death metal, with strange results over a single 23 minute track. While you may cringe at the idea of a 23 minute onslaught of grindcore meshed with death metal, a preliminary listen reveals this is not the case. There are also ambient interludes, as well as a few doom inspired passages throughout this album, which ironically are probably my favorite parts. While the drums on the album are played with a speedy drum machine, they don't intrude on the album too much, for me anyway. The vocals and the fact they don't make an inch of sense to me is probably the main downside for my sake. Instrumentally it's quite well made, always heading off in a different direction - which does give the impression this is simply a lot of smaller songs fused into one semi-cohesive whole, but overall, the segues are not so blatant as to make it seem like this. Overall, not my cup of tea, mainly due to vocal performance and the sometimes tedious nature of the music despite it's uncompromising design and genre. But I'm sure it has plenty of fans out there.
