Stigma - Pain for My Body (2009)

   Stigma is one of the basically quite old bands, who exist since the early/mid '90s, but had a very old waiting period for a debut. Their discography shows continuous progression, that suspects that they haven't been very active in the old times.

  "Pain for my Body" was their last album that counts outstanding compared to their earlier works if it's about themes and sound quality. Raw brutal death with common old school theme switches was the main feature of their music. That didn't change until the end, but their songs became better composed, and the better sound quality had a very advantageous effect too. According to their lyrical concept, probably serial killers were one of their favorite readings, because they wrote not only about the gory outcomes of similar activities, but their psychological background was also referred. So even though the influence of the unforgetable ballads of Cannibal Corpse's "The Bleeding" couldn't be denied, the obscure events of reality could have been the album's main inspirational source. Torment and other gore related details are just icing on the cake. Stigma is also known about that they had one of the most brutal voiced female vocalist as their frontwoman. Even with growling-trained ears it's not possible to tell the difference. 

All-in-one "Pain for my  Body" serves with enjoyable entertainment for the fans of brutal death and the modern sound of the genre.
