CASTRATOR - No Victim

(Horror Pain Gore Death)
I'm kinda sold before even hearing a single note from this death-metal crew, a gaggle of gals named Castrator who feature members from all over the place (Colombia, Norway, Florida, Mexico, Sweden, hell, Massachusetts), with the bio mentioning legendary weirdo-DM crew Nuclear Death... I mean, I'm already a fan. Still haven't spun it yet, granted, but already a fan.
But all that aside, I'm happy to report the tunes are great; maybe not quite as world-shattering or radical as all that had me hoping, but definitely guttural brutal death metal of a very high calibre, the imagery actually giving me the chills, rare for death metal (but get a load of that psycho cover art while spinning the beyond-sewer grime of "Brood," all the while pondering song titles like "The Emasculator" and "No Victim"... kinda brings you back to late-night Carrion Of Worm worshipping sessions, doesn't it?). Two stiff thumbs up, just don't chop 'em off.
