Broken Hope--Grotesque Blessings (1999/Martyr Music)
Rating--6.9
Death metal, with low, gurgling vocals. The standard fast drums are present, with the riffs and music being fairly sharp. Intermixed soundbytes and
voiceovers add some flavor, and the band does a good job of juggling the drum paces and rhythms to avoid monotany.
"Wolf Among Sheep" is a
pace-shifting opener, and some good rhythmic grooving is present in "Chemically Castrated". Both "Christ Consumed" and "War-Maggot" are decent tracks,
with "Earth Burner" being the disc's top highlight.
