Verminthrone – The Cull Review

Immediately after the listener presses the play button, the listener is transported into the world of the album, and the opening track, Don’t Trust Morning People, sets the tone perfectly. Instruments come through the speakers with a forceful energy, their sound rattling around the room. While the vocals are equally powerful, their haunting quality adds to the overall depth and intensity of the music.

As the release progresses, the second piece, titled It Always Snows In South America, and the following six pieces display the Verminthrone diverse influences, ranging from EyeHateGod‘s sludge metal to Lamb Of God‘s groove metal and Mastodon‘s progressive metal.

Verminthrone also takes inspiration from Power Trip‘s thrash metal. Entombed’s death metal and Satyricon‘s black metal result in an atmosphere intentionally kept dirty, intense, aggressive, upbeat, nasty, dynamic, and heavy, which adds to the overall experience of the music spectrum that will surely please metalheads everywhere.

The Cull is a musical, forbidden fruit of art that boasts an unparalleled production quality with a sound and atmosphere created of the highest quality, and the execution is nothing short of perfection. Verminthrone devilmanship in instrument composition and songwriting is also well executed, which is evident from the first chord played. How the vocals are layered on top of the music is haunting and mesmerizing -overall impressive and adds to the overall experience of the music.

Verminthrone is an album with eight tracks showcasing a unique blend of dirty, high-energy, and heavy music with plenty of rhythm. The album maintains a steady pace throughout, with each song having a different tone, mood, chords, and beats. Overall, it is a dirty fruit of an art album to headbang along with and worth checking out.

Verminthrone music possesses an irresistible quality that can profoundly affect your soul. Once you listen to it, you will find yourself completely immersed and unable to resist its allure. It will take over your senses and leave you yearning for more, as if it has impaled you on a bed of thorns.
The album comes to an end with the last song, Feral. We want to give a shoutout to Verminthrone for letting us review their album, The Cull. Now, we’re going to wrap it up by talking about the final three sins and concluding the review.
