Disarticulating Extinguishment is a young Brutal Death band out of Russia. This E.P. showcases their unique approach to bringing creativity into their songwriting. Some is very good, some is not. Their name though, roughly translating to ‘putting an end to something by separating bones’, is awesome. The parts of this album that are not as good are still good, it’s just that there is some really great stuff on here, so I am being picky.
'Righteous Prosecutor' is a short track with very creative drums and some low tones and harmonics accompany us to a very bad ending. It just seems to quickly fade away and end with a sample that I cannot understand.
'Noisome Pestilence' starts with a cool bass line and very mechanical sounding drums. Slow riffs pound forward with lower harmonics than I am used to hearing, which is good. This track is very consistent/almost boring until a weird clean guitar break leading into a slow, chugging, bouncy groove over saturated with vocals.
"Heathens’ Foredoom" opens with what I will call underwater demon vocals and more of that signature robotic drum sound that I am really enjoying. The rest of "Heathens’ Foredoom" is a lot of relatively simple brutal slams made to sound awesome by super creative drummer Lev Kurgansky, who also is the drummer Ezophagothomia, so it comes as no surprise this has superb drumming.
'Estranged From The Womb' is a more straightforward mix of old school death metal riffing and brutal slams. This track contains the best vocals. Throughout this album I would say there is too much vocals in the mix, which is a shame because they are very good vocals. Know when to rest! It is also worth mentioning that the two vocalists of this group compliment each others style very nicely, just too often.
"Indurate Laceration" is, I believe, my favorite part of ‘Psalms of Wrath’. It is unwavering brutality and over the top non-sense.
To wrap things up we have the title track, which, after I eventually made it through, fit as a nice way to end this weird album. Noise layered with haunting noise, then a still haunting guitar part that is soon ran out by more weird noises.
Very pleasant ambient ending reminiscent of what I imagine you may hear while drifting off to sleep on a deserted island’s beach. In fact, I highly recommend lying down for a nap during the last three minutes of this!
