When talking about a band named something as extreme as Aborted Fetus, you should know what to expect from their music right out of the gate - and, in the case of this Russian brutal death metal act, these suspicions would be proven true. On Private Judgement Day, Aborted Fetus dishes out twenty five minutes of gory lyrics, pig-squeeled vocals, and intense death metal riffs that will satiate fans of this style, but its strong sense of familiarity keeps it from making much of an impression on the death metal scene at large.

Private Judgement Day does very little to sound different from the hordes of other bands playing this type of goregrind-tinged brutal death metal, and as good as the musicianship and production is, nothing about the album stands out enough to make for a truly memorable listen. Aborted Fetus makes a decent venture into previously charted territory on Private Judgement Day, but the indecipherable pig squeels and lack of compositional variation make this a tough one for me to sit through. Fans of Devourment, Cryptopsy, and Dying Fetus might enjoy this, but it's not something I'll be returning to.

Just tried this one. I stuck it out for two songs then quit. The musicianship seems solid but the vocals turn me right off.

Yeah, I can't stand them either. They almost always sound generic and lifeless to my ears. :-/

Oh, absolutely! The band's name is what prompted me to check out this album for review. ;-) Thanks for the feedback!

That album would make a great t-shirt to wear to church though! Ha! Good review. I'll give it a pass :)
