Reviews DEPRAVED - DECADENCE &LUST - WARPATH
Boy, Warpath Records seems to take its output seriously. Depraved is one fast band. Veterans of the French underground scene, Depraved might be known to some either via their demos or the many concerts they have played in France with Sinister, Napalm Death and others. Each song here is either about a serial killer or a grotesque crime. It is pure speedy death metal with a vocalist who switches between screaming and growling at will. Except Depraved lends a sexual bent to to everything they do. The cover, the songs, the web site (www.sexualdepravity.com), etc. all point at debauchery and fans should take that into consideration. Decadence & Lust is the band's second CD, yet a first on a label.
