Stand Out Track - Sacrificial Annihilation. Thrashed up Death, performed at astonishing speed. The subject matter is also decidedly fitting. I'll let the lyrics speak for themselves: Bone marrow twisted, white sockets shattered, Black flesh blistered, hungry maggots grow fatter. Tendons snap, cartilage corroding. Contorted muscles flap, clotted blood flowing. - Nice! Floridian Death Metal band Malevolent Creation released their debut 'The Ten Commandments' in 1991 and achieved immediate critical acclaim. The ominous opening track 'Memorial Arrangements' featuring an eerily effective spoken word intro, bleeds effortlessly into 'Premature Burial' and Brett Hoffman's excellent vocals kick the album off in style. Thrash Metal's influence can still be heard, particularly on the tracks 'Sacrificial Annihilation' and 'Malevolent Creation' but this actually adds to the albums appeal. Incorporating bone-crushing rhythms which will cause involuntary and immediate head banging, 'The Ten Commandments' was released during the golden age of Death Metal and this is one album to treasure.
