Zbryzgany wymiocinami, obrzydliwy i makabryczny death metal!
'Repulsie Post-Mortem' przyjąłem z radością!

Despite having released several demos and splits (which I am busily collecting), Putred is a rather new band which formed only three years ago in 2020. The template they laid down on their first release, the “Necroza” demo, has remained their foundation. This is mid-paced, old-school, sewer death metal. One of the elements of Putred’s sound that makes them unique, however, is that they manage not just to have an old-school sound and sick image, but they also capture a rather dank and compelling atmosphere in their music. This is not done with horror movie samples (not that I mind those) or the use of uncommon instruments. This four-piece simply knows how to compose songs where every member is contributing to bringing the sewer monster to life. On their debut album, “Repulsie Post-Mortem,” Putred has spectacularly re-enacted that, well, putrid album cover.

The foundation of Putred’s sound is slow to mid-paced grooving riffs, eerie leads, slimy, wandering bass, rhythmic drumming, and powerfully guttural vocals. There are some people who are not impressed with a death metal release unless it’s super technical, fast, or progressive and they might consider a release like this too simplistic or samey. My advice to such a person would be to slow down, pay attention, turn out the lights, and let this one take you for a ride. As a tremendous fan of mid-paced, groovy, sewer death metal, I can say that this is top of the line. Putred doesn’t need or desire that kind of flashiness to impress. In music of this style, every piece needs to be in place to engage the listener and draw them in to the atmosphere and Putred has mastered the craft. Guitarist Uriel Aguillon’s riffs rise from the deep to shake the earth like a quake only for his leads to soothe like the calm in its wake. The lead guitar work on “Repulsie Post-Mortem” is special and one of the primary contributing factors to the dank atmosphere that I mentioned. I was hooked on this album when I heard the lead that brings the first true song on the record, “Peste Umbra Densă,” to its climax. After a brutal pummeling through the first three and a half minutes of the song, the lead escalates the track to an ethereal conclusion akin to a specter dancing over its grave.

I must also mention the performance of vocalist Filip Garlonta. Garlonta’s vocal work is the perfect combination of guttural sound and enunciation. His vocals are incredibly deep and forceful without sounding gurgly and that is my preference. There’s no need here to experiment with a bunch of highs or other techniques because these gutturals are a perfect fit for Putred’s sound and some of my favorites that I’ve heard in a long time. The rhythm section propels each song forward with tasteful drumming by Dante Valladares and a bass guitar courtesy of Corina that isn’t afraid to rear its head like a sewer alligator dipping in and out of Putred’s murky waters. The bass is audible throughout and lends to the fullness and richness of sound that Putred achieved on this exquisitely produced album. This is incredibly heavy, dark, grooving, and yet atmospheric and ethereal. It is exactly how old-school death metal should sound in 2023.

If you couldn’t tell, this album is right in my wheelhouse. With “Repulsie Post-Mortem,” Putred have managed to take a long-standing style, place their unique twist on it, and hammer out an album that is powered by excellent song-writing and strong from beginning to end. In my eyes, Putred has produced a modern classic here and, as this is only their debut album, there is no reason why Putred shouldn’t go on to become a powerhouse in the death metal scene releasing great album after great album.
