ABOMINATION - Abomination CD (digipak)

Brutal power Thrash/Death Metal classic remastered! Featuring Paul Speckmann of the Death Metal legend Master! Before Death Metal got technical and Thrash got cleaned up, Abomination came barreling out of Chicago with a debut that splits the difference between Morbid Angel’s chaos and Kreator’s speed-obsessed savagery. Spearheaded by Paul Speckmann (Master), this record is a nasty, pissed-off slab of Death/Thrash Metal that hits hard and doesn’t let up. Opener “Tunnel of Damnation” kicks things off with pummeling double bass and unhinged vocals, equal parts John Tardy and Chuck Schuldiner. The riffs are sharp, fast, and raw as hell, with just enough melody to stick in your brain while the drums go full warzone. Songs like “Murder, Rape, Pillage and Burn” and “Impending Doom” are pure mosh fuel: ugly, anthemic, and built for headbanging. There’s zero filler here. If you like your Death Metal violent, hooky, and straight from the gutter, this one’s a no-brainer. Criminally underrated!
