UMUR
"The Perpetuated Festering" is the debut full-length studio album by Dutch death metal act Necrotesque. The album was independently released in January 2023. Necrotesque formed in 2021 and released the "The Necrotic Grotesque" EP in November 2021. "The Perpetuated Festering" was preceded by a couple of digital teaser singles in "Cesium 137" and "Geriatric Cranium Crusher". Both tracks are included on "The Perpetuated Festering".

Stylistically the material on "The Perpetuated Festering" is a continuation of the mid-paced, heavy, and groove laden old school death metal style of "The Necrotic Grotesque". While Necrotesque have evolved a bit since the EP, and the Grave influence isn´t as obvious here as it was on the EP, it´s still Grave I´m mostly reminded of when listening to "The Perpetuated Festering" (Bloodbath is another valid reference).

"The Perpetuated Festering" features a brutal, meaty, and detailed sounding production job and add to that effecful and memorable songwriting, and a well playing band, and it´s a good quality debut album by Necrotesque. A 3.5 star (70%) rating is deserved.
