Hail, you gore-soaked fiends of the Black Metal Archives—Sean here, still hacking through the bloody muck of Decrepitation’s Decrepitus Talis. Spun this today, and it’s like Edmonton’s frozen streets disgorged a death metal grinder right into my gut. Snagged this beast off Bandcamp, released November 15, 2023, and its three-track slaughter is a relentless gut-punch—let’s carve it up and feast!
Decrepitation clawed out of Alberta’s icy wastes in 2023, a four-piece death squad—Jay Paul (drums), Bobby Paul (vocals), Gordon Clark (guitars), and Liam Clarkin (bass). Decrepitus Talis is their debut EP, a self-released slab of old-school brutality forged in Canada’s cold heart.
Let’s take a deep dive into the tracks!
“Red Room” kicks the door down with a riff that chews through flesh—guitars snarl like a chainsaw on bone, Bobby’s vocals a guttural roar that hooks me deep. Jay’s drums blast like a shotgun in a meat locker—I’m headbanging, caught in its crimson tide.
“Drowning Gods” follows, a mid-paced crusher—Gordon’s riffs churn thick and vile, Liam’s bass rumbling like a corpse dragged through mud. Bobby’s growls spit blasphemy, and I’m grinning, lost in its suffocating heft.
“Desecration Punishment” seals the kill, a relentless storm—guitars flay with surgical spite, drums pummel like a skull-crushing press, and the vokills howl a final curse that leaves me winded.
Decrepitation’s sound is a death metal abattoir—Gordon and Liam’s strings grind with Autopsy’s festering grit, Jay’s percussion hammers like vintage Cannibal Corpse, and Bobby’s vocals channel Morbid Angel’s unholy snarl. It’s raw, unpolished, and dripping with old-school venom—feels like they tracked this in a blood-smeared basement, fueled by frost and fury. Decrepitus Talis is a butcher’s delight—blast it loud, let it disembowel you, and join me in this grisly revelry.
You corpse-fed wretches, spill your guts below—how did this EP tear you apart? Stream it on Bandcamp and wallow in the slaughter!
Stay brutal, you death-drenched wraiths, and keep the carnage close!
