Putrevore - Morphed from Deathbreath (2008)

   Putrevore was founded as the side project of two well known masters of death metal, Dave Rotten (Avulsed, Golgotha) and Rogga Johannson (Paganizer, Sinners Burn). Bands with international line-up was kind of a new issue from the late '00s. The distance is definitely not serving their activity, but similar formations could lead to intersting outcomes.
   The names under Putrevore might be enough convincing for the fans of the genre, to forget about to expect any disappointment. The heaviness and rawness of their music could be compared to Incantation, but only the noisy sound and Mr. Rotten's familiar deep murmurring growling vocal style is responsible for that. The themes are not complex, more like switching between brutal death grinding and the well known primitive, but catchy, typically Swedish death metal themes. This kind of sound is definitely not usual in the Swedish scene, though it's opening a new perspective by turning the main impression as heavy as it's possible. "Morphed from Deathbreath" offers nothing revolutionary new, but enjoyable entertainment as just being all-round excellent, in themes, sound quality, and in filling it's horror/gore based main concept. Strongly recommended for the fans of old school death metal!
