UMUR
"Necrologia del sadismo: Excerpts from a Deranged Mind" is the debut full-length studio album by German, Marburg based death metal act Putridarium. The album was released through Night Terrors Records in November 2024. Putridarium formed in 2020 and they have released quite a few demos and splits (and the 2023 "An Exploration of Burial Perversions" compilation album) before being signed for the release of "Necrologia del sadismo: Excerpts from a Deranged Mind".

Stylistically "Necrologia del sadismo: Excerpts from a Deranged Mind" is an old school, raw, brutal, slimy, and horror/gore drenched death metal release. It´s predominantly mid-paced, brutal, and heavy, but also features faster parts and slower doomy parts (the instrumental horror movie soundtrack sounding "Ossario Nelle Grida" provides a giallo atmosphere and is a nice mid-album breather). This is very true to the core values of old school death metal and calling this album particularly original or unique sounding wouldn´t be true. They remind me a bit of the Incantation-related Disma or maybe a slightly less cavernous Undergang. When that is said Putridarium are a well playing unit, and they obviously have a great understanding of what works when you compose and play this type of music. The vocals are brutal growling, but an occasional higher pitched scream is heard here and there.

"Necrologia del sadismo: Excerpts from a Deranged Mind" features a powerful, raw, and detailed sound production, but personally I wouldn´t have minded an even filthier and more rotten sounding production job, but this is arguably a well produced release as it is. Upon conclusion Putridarium enter the death metal scene with a good quality death metal release and fans of the more raw, filthy, and cavernous part of the old school death metal spectrum should find a lot to appreciate here. A 3.5 star (70%) rating is deserved.
