UMUR
"Human Harvest" is the debut full-length studio album by Swedish death metal act Intestinal. The album was released in January 2010 by Psycho Records.
The music on the album is filthy and brutal old school Swedish death metal. Actually I don´t recall listening to any other Swedish death metal act sounding this raw and filthy. The album sounds like it was recorded in a cold tomb and you´re standing outside the tomb listening to the band play. Songtitles like "Maggot Filled Flesh", "Licking a Dead Cunt", "Skinripped Whore" and "Dead Raped Forever" ( and band member names like Lord Gorecunt, NecroCock and Testicular Mutilation) don´t exactly leave much to the imagination either and if you like your Swedish death metal as filthy and raw as possible "Human Harvest" will surely impress.
Personally I think the sound quality distracts me. It´s too noisy for it´s own good and while the songs aren´t exactly varied to begin with, the noisy production only makes it harder to tell the songs apart. I think calling "Human Harvest" an aquired taste wouldn´t prove far from the truth. Some people will absolutely love the filthy delivery and raw production while others like me will find the delivery a bit over the top. Somewhere between a 2.5 and a 3 star rating is deserved.
