12th December - Desecration

Metal Cursemas Day 12

Desecration

Genre: Death Metal
Location: Newport, Wales

Few bands have ever caused such an uproar as Welsh legends, Desecration when in 1995 they were involved in what was to become a victory for extreme bands all across Europe. Their albums were seized and incinerated by the Gwent Constabulary for what they deemed to be its obscene nature, and in so doing, the media furore that followed established Desecration as an international band of exceptional brutality.

The band was told to "tone right down" or get out of the business altogether… Neither of these things happened! Since then the band have gone from strength to strength with Murder In Mind, Inhuman, Pathway To Deviance and Gore & PerVersion 2 (a re-recording of the original album), each increasing the bands popularity and gaining them respect.

Their music is brutal, no nonsense gore-influenced Death metal of the highest calibre. Battering your senses with blast beat drumming and savage razor-sharp riffing. Latest album ‘Process of Decay’ is apparently a concept album following the complete decomposition of a corpse from the point of murder through to burial. Just the sort of thing to cheer up your Gran this Boxing Day!

In December, Desecration will be on their "Antichristmas" tour (see website for details) and work on a new album is well underway.

Reviews
My internal organs start to decompose and my eyes are semi-filled with blood! My body seems to be chopped in half! My obituary has been hammered on the wall since long ago! Have I contracted Ebola or is this the latest Desecration album? Metal Temple
Just a fantastic solid slab of REAL Death Metal for those of us sick of all of the trends. Metal Archives
This album is full of crushing drums beats and soul tearing metal riffs that will please the most discerning Death metal head... Play it very loud and let the death vocals bring forth
your own bile as you strife to emulate. Rock3Music
