This impressive release is a compilation of all of Torture Krypt's previously releases on one disc. I'm thankful that this re-release happened, or else I may have never stumbled across this extremely brutal old school NJ death grind. Deep, rich, and evil - with flesh ripping song structures and riffs, this is one band the scene will not forget. TK brings an explosion of finger-bleeding patterns that melt you faster than the citizens of Pompeii. Rotted Remnants ('95) the best produced of the three, kicks us off, while we travel back in time with Bestial Mutation ('94), and then to their self-titled Torture Krypt ('93) backing up the assault. A short 3 tracks, the '94 demo is perhaps best represented in the slightly higher fidelity version EP - Rotted Remnants. Despite the duplicates, Sevared gives us the pleasure of hearing TK a year earlier and through a different production. The songs are so good, that you won't mind hearing them again anyway. The vocals are sinister and hypnotically evil - separating them from being easily pinpointed as worship. The guitars and drums are chaotically driven weaving your hair in braids as you try to keep up while circle banging. These melodies, beat-downs, and grooves will stay stuck in your head for weeks, leaving you humming and air guitar/drumming to these sick carnivorous zombie slams. Its like they listened to Internal Bleeding's early days and then took it one step further in the true east coast death style while still giving you their own branding on their style of the genre. If you missed out on the tape-trading days, its recommended you pick this up.
