Church Of Disgust are a band from Texas that plays an old school form of death metal with elements of doom and this is a review of their 2014 album "Unworldly Summoning" which was released by Memento Mori.
"Intro(The gate)" starts off the album with distorted noise sounds along with some acoustic guitars that utilize finger picking and full chords.
"Immemorial Lunacy" which is also the first official song on the album opens up with heavy death/doom metal guitar riffs along with some drums as well as some dark sounding melodies before speeding up to a more old school direction a long with some deep growls and blast beats and then the music starts alternating between slow and fast parts and as time goes on by sound effects and thrash influences are added into the music.
"Rotting Above Ground" begins with heavy guitar riffs and drums before speeding up along with some blast beats and deep death metal growls and after awhile the music slows down a bit and adds in melody before speeding alternating between fast and slow parts along with a brief use of high pitched screams.
"Writhing Dominion" opens up with melodic guitar leads which leads up to heavy guitar riffs and drums along with some deep death metal growls and dark sounding melodies and the song sticks to a slower doom/death metal direction.
"Bound And Cast Into The Depths" kicks in with fast, dark and heavy guitar riffs along with some blast beats from the drums as well as some deep death metal growls and then the music starts to alternate between slow and fast parts as well as adding in a brief use of demonic voices as well as a brief guitar lead towards the end.
"The Great Chamber" hits it off with ritualistic sounds along with avant garde sound effects and chanting which also uses spoken words which then leads up to some dark, heavy and melodic guitar riffs as well as some drums and deep death metal growls and towards the end there is a few seconds of guitar leads being utilized.
"Interlude" which is an instrumental begins with avant garde sound effects and synths and the song is short and under 2 minutes.
"The Opener Of The Way" comes in with deep death metal growls and heavy guitar riffs along with some drums before going into a fast direction along with some blast beats and melodic guitar riffing and then the song starts to alternate between slow and fast parts and towards the end there is a brief use of guitar leads and high pitched screams.
"Unworldly Summoning" which is also the last song as well as title track opens up with powerful sounding bass guitars and drums which leads up to some dark, melodic and heavy sounding guitar riffs and drums as well as some death metal growls and after awhile the music goes into a faster direction along with some blast beats before alternating between slow and fast parts and towards the end there is a brief use of avant garde style sound effects beign utilized.
Song lyrics are based on the writings of H.P Lovecraft and Brian Keene, while the production has a very strong, powerful, heavy and professional sound to it in the old school 90's direction.
In my opinion Church Of Disgust are a very great sounding old school death/doom metal and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Immemorial Lunacy" "The Great Chamber" and "Unworldly Summoning". RECOMMENDED BUY.
