CoC : Liber Spirituum - Frugativi et Appellativi : Review

Liber Spirituum - _Frugativi et Appellativi_
(Independent, 2000)
by: Adrian Bromley (4 out of 10)

I hate to start things off in the red, but here goes: this is one of the worst releases I have heard in terms of production. The sound is just so muffled and sometimes the guitar solos fade in and out. I know this death metal (though blackened at times) charge is geared on punishing the listener with severe blows bestowed upon us by their righteous words and musical onslaughts, but the weak production turns what could have been a promising killing machine into a muddled pool of noises. Yawn! I admit the intensity is there (tracks "Fuck You Christ (Ancient God of Lying and Betraying)" or "The Law of Forbidden (Occult Art of Seduction and Manipulation"), but Liber Spirituum end up shooting wide as the disc carries on. Too bad, as this sucker is full of hate.
