ENCENATHRAKTH is a brutal death metal supergroup founded in the USA that features Colin Marston (Gorguts, Dysrhythmia, Krallice, Behold… The Arctopus, etc), Mick Barr (Krallice, Orthrelm, Ocrilim, etc), Weasel Walter (Behold… The Arctopus, The Flying Luttenbachers) and Paulo Henri (Copremesis). The band remains a bit mysterious as there isn’t a lot of info about them but one thing is for sure. On their self-titled eponymous debut things are absolutely wild!

This is one of those albums that has one and only one goal at hand and that is to deliver some of the most unrelenting and pummeling brutality humanly possible and i must admit that these guys succeed in doing just that. Upon first listen it sounds like someone set fire to a warehouse filled with dynamite and fireworks as the rhythmic cacophony is as jarring and irregular as a natural gas explosion and the ensuing chaos. Every track is utterly relentless with pig squeal vocals lacing the pummeling erratic drum abuse and melody free metal madness with brutal death metal riffs whizzing by at breakneck speed like chickens with their heads freshly severed.

This is one of those for the adrenaline seekers who love the pummeling brutality of bands like Suffocation or Cryptopsy but also seek the muddled murky and swirling production values of funeral doom metal bands like Esoteric. While the sameness of the tempo casts its own special type of mesmerizing monotony, the energy level is just blows the roof off the house guaranteeing no possible narcolepsy will occur while listening to this one. Perhaps extreme for the sake of being so alone but a captivating and mercifully short (33:41) journey through hell’s soundtrack!
