deathevokation666 Top notch song writing, riffs, and guitar solos compliment a dynamic rhythm section, and scary vocals. Excellent ugly death metal CD. Favorite track: Rapture Of The Empty Space.

owhotcoffee Pisses me off the top comment for this record was about the love boat (fuck you dumb). This record fucking kicks ass! Big fan of Koryn in ascended dead-he sounds excellent here as well.

Dumb mmmn ‘The Love Boat’ has had many great episodes, but perhaps one of the best is when Robby The Robot brings the heat as ‘Bix’, the center of attention for his inventor Franklin Trumbauer, who can’t see the obvious attention fellow vacationer Ruth is heaping on him. Who knew how far the AI would go? Betty White’s in that one. It’s a classic

jase7019 A Death Metal fanatic need look no further to find a near perfect serving of cold and calculated premeditated murder music. Favorite track: Baptism Death.

about

Rotted Life is equally proud and repulsed to announce the debut full length from Southern California’s Vrenth on LP, CD, and cassette. Comprised of members of Ruin, Necrosic, Ascended Dead, Exhumed, Gravehill, and multiple others, Vrenth made their first appearance in the Spring of 2019 with a 3 track cassette demo on Death Metal Cult and later on Italy’s Dismal Fate Records.
And now, as a fitting end to 2020, comes Baptism Death - a hulking, slithering, and disgusting slob of a release, intent on trampling everything in its path, and leaving a wake of strewn limbs, steaming innards, and utter destruction.
As primitive and brutish as this record might seem at first listen, you’d be mistaken to pass it off as “low-IQ” death metal. On the contrary, this was clearly made by veterans of the death metal underground, and the musicianship and craftmanship should not be overlooked, even as you’re getting savagely drubbed and abused

"Wrought by absolute diehards and blood-crazed madmen, Baptism Death blasts one of hell of a massive and gore-drenched production" Decibel Magazine

"Baptism Death growls and drools menacingly as it peeks up from the sewer: "hey kids, wanna hear about death metal?" Damn straight we do, and this California underground supergroup has produced something so foul, vile, and extreme that it deserves special mention for being just that disgusting. Also, riffs. Fucking riffs. Long live death metal!" Invisible Oranges

"Puke it up fast! What southern California death trawlers VRENTH are spewing you don’t want to ingest, this toxic sludge thick and blood-sick act has members of Ruin, Gravehill and Ascended Dead on board for this first album ‘Baptism Death". Guts-shaking filth, newborn sacrifice and plenty of monstrous doom piled on, too.". Grizzly Butts

"Such seedy death metal like this is so much of what we could always hope for out of any underground act that has any sort of promise, and it’s with their debut full-length that Vrenth delivers such glorious chaos in a way that cannot be considered anything other than fantastically vicious! Right from the very beginning, it is more than obvious that “Baptism Death” will deliver death metal excellence the likes of which will never grow old so long as it is put in the right hands, and it is undoubtedly the hands of Vrenth that are beyond worthy of such immense power."

about

VRENTH Amboy, California

The secret things of the grave are there,
Where all but this frame must surely be,
Though the fine-wrought eye and the wondrous ear
No longer will live, to hear or to see
All that is great and all that is strange
In the boundless realm of unending change. ... more

An outstanding Extreme doom death album, in the best tradition. The funerary atmosphere reminds of Evoken ('Centuries of ooze" bears striking similarities, for my delight). It is overall sharp, dark, hypnotic and unrelenting. One of those rare convincing new bands that hold proud the legacy of the biggest names. Bertrand Marchal

I'm kicking my own ass for somehow missing this when it released. Expertly arranged death metal with kick drums that could demolish a high-rise. zirtonic
