1. Devourment – Baby Killer
Who in the Hell?:
Devourment are a slam death metal band from Dallas, Texas, who have become the epitome of their chosen musical style. Despite three splits since their 1995 founding, the first due to lead vocalist Ruben Rosas being jailed for a probation violation, they remain active. Devourment are a popular band in the extreme metal community and their lyrical themes reflect this, with torture, sexual violence, mutilation, and war being topics regularly expounded upon.
Sinister Sounds:
Rumbling growls, skilled guitar work that is hidden amongst the raw noise and drums that sound as if they're played with samurai swords rather than sticks.
Publishable Lyrics:
"It's tiny stumps pours out more / Than it's dead mothers open sores / It's guts paint the floor / It's flesh I shall gorge."
Censored Storyline:
If ever there was a simple yet triggering track title, Devourment found it. The story arc is simple but explicit in its description. The perverted protagonist stalks a woman in labour with a sense of skin crawling glee. He feasts on the new born and the mother before stabbing himself in the head, admiring the taste of his own blood as he dies. Simple but sickening.
