UMUR "Mutilated in Minutes" is the debut full-lengths studio album by UK death metal/goregrind act Gorerotted. The album was released through Dead Again Records in 2000. Gorerotted was formed in 1997 and released a couple of demos before getting a label deal and releasing "Mutilated in Minutes". They released three albums under the Gorerotted monicker before changing their name to The Rotted in 2008.

Both from the album title, the over the top vile cover artwork and from song titles like "Stab Me Till I Cum", "Gagged, Shagged, Bodybagged" (which was apparently the title the band had initially chosen for the album) and "Severed, Sawn and Sold as Porn" it´s pretty obvious which type of music you´ll be exposed to when listening to "Mutilated in Minutes". This is brutal death metal/goregrind of the classic kind, which means Gorerotted are late 80s/early 90s Carcass worshippers to the bone. The brutal riffing, the gory lyrics and imagery, the blast beats and especially the vocals, which alternate between higher pitched sneering and deeper juicy growls, are in place.

The music is well played, relatively well produced (the snare drum sounds a bit like someone beating on a tin cup, but it works), and if you don´t crave too much variation, the material are pretty well written too. The clone factor might put some people off, but Gorerotted deliver their music with both passion and conviction, which are always great assets. So while the 9 track, 26:04 minutes long album is a bit of a one-dimensional affair, it´s greatly entertaining while it plays and for fans of the genre it´s definitely a nice and filthy listen. A 3 - 3.5 star (65%) rating is warranted.
