Unaussprechlichen Kulten - People of the Monolith (2008)

   Maybe the newer South American bands didn't keep the genuine style of their local metal scene that was usual in it's early era, but Unaussprechlichen Kulten is the proof that they still didn't lose from their extreme intensity.
   If the band's goal was to give a new definition to the scene, they've succeeded, since their music is endlessly sick. It's like the mix of brutal and old school death metal with modern sound and a very insane and obscure approach. Their songs are quite heavy and disharmonic the same time. Even though the songs are kind of short, and the album is also not much longer than 20 mins, it's enough complex and noisy to effect like if it was twice longer. Their influences could be various, the album sounds like a mix of Incantation, Deeds of Flesh and Avulsed, and effects similar like Infester: an extremely heavy load of musickness. As the name already tells, their lyrical concept is based on Lovecraft's novels, and it's probably their most brutal musical aspect. The short song lenghts is the only reason why "People of the Monolith" is a bit easier to go into than the music of the previously mentioned bands, but still it's hard to imagine it as a sunday afternoon relaxing background music after lunch. Though the disharmony the songs are well composed and telling about the serious musical past of the band members. It's an excellent album in it's style, and recommended for the fans of extreme musickness.
