Reviews ABYSMAL TORMENT - EPOCH OF METHODIC CARNAGE - BRUTAL BANDS 
Close your eyes and pick any one of the 10 songs on this 42 minutes album, now open yours eyes and look at the title of the song. No one can doubt as to the style of Abysmal Torment. As consistent as it is grinding death metal Abysmal Torment take the listener to the heaviest and fastest realms complete with some of the famous New York style and drum sound. Relapse Into Sickness starts things off and things rarely let up until Gratification Through Castration, the closer, ends. On the way, one gets Addicted To Smothered Throats, Flayed, Dismembered And Feasted Upon and Battered Into Nothingness to great and immediate effect. From blast beats to low growls to tight technical riffing Epoch Of Methodic Carnage has it all. - Anna Tergel
