Disfiguring the Goddess, the one man act of electronic producer Big Chocolate, made a point of being very different from typical brutal death metal on his debut, Circle of Nine, by including electronic and deathcore influences at different places. The next album, Sleeper, would continue this style by carefully placing a more atmospheric style of electronic noise in between (and simultaneously with) stronger slams and chugs than the debut. Deprive, however, perfected the style.

Deprive is so very different from a typical slam album that some even debate if it's a slam album at all. Blending slams with breakdowns at an oftentimes indeterminable balance, the album begins with raw heaviness so brutal that Cannibal Corpse would be impressed. And from then, we switch between raw filth and polished metal, all including the creepy electronic of Sleeper with with a stronger sci-fi atmosphere, bringing to mind images of Metroid and Cthulhu, which makes this album one of the scariest and heaviest albums I've ever heard.

I don't have any complaints about this album. I've heard so much slam death metal that sounds exactly the same that while the purist may be disappointed in how eccentric and unique this album is, the end result for me is a breathe of fresh air. If I had to recommend any one slam death metal album for beginners, it would easily be Deprive.
