Barbarity - Hell is Here (2005)

   There was an endless line of brutal death bands and weird style mixing experiments from the early '00s, but fortunately there were some impressive productions too amongst them, such as Barbarity.
   The band became known of their horror and gore addiction. If the cover referring to the movie "Beyond the Limits" wouldn't be enough, there are other references on the album to find. The band didn't merge completely into brutal death slamming, they often switched to simple old school and groovy themes and mixed them well into the raw brutality. On "Hell is Here", their second album they've mastered their style completely, and even though the main impression is quite sick, it's very catchy the same time. This way how exaggerated features ending up more catchier than how it could be expected, reminds to the concept of "Butchered at Birth" by Cannibal Corpse. In fact there are some further musical similarities too, but Barbarity probably didn't plan that, they had different approach. The excellence of "Hell is Here" lies in it's perpetual intensity and on the various ways how the band introduced the thirst for gore. Enjoyable and diverse brutality in high quality for the lovers of musickness!
