Literally born from DRIPPING DECAY, Oregonians RIPPING REMAINS unleash their first acrid spew in the form of Carbonized Effluvium. The synth-laden title track takes its time, transuding and gelatinous, while ‘Necrodestiny’ reeks of pre-’90s CARCASS in that most glorious stench-ridden way. Decimating and twisting, ‘The Horror Writes Itself’ bucks and writhes, riff upon riff piled on the kicking rodeo bull of heaving rhythm, skinned and screaming solo ending in a boastfully Luddite groove. ‘Rub My Infection On You’ recalls moments of JUNGLE ROT in its furor, early OBITUARY in its Allen West-influenced solo. The doom swagger that begins ‘Maternal Rot’ too quickly moves into an equally enjoyable exercise in chaotic gore, but returns to a blues-drenched third section. Get ripped!
