Benighted is a French Brutal Death band and “Insane Cephalic Production” is their third full length album from 2004, their second on Adipocere Records. It's pure brutal Death with wickedly growling vocals, furious drumming and heavy ass, but often a bit melodic guitars. But not too often. It's good brutal Death, plain and simple.
“Bestial Breeding” and “Stay Brutal” start us out with some pure, blast beating, growling, brutal ass Death with some melody and good leads built in. “Foetus” has one of the most awesome openings that I just love to death. You first hear a music box being wound up and then a gleeful little music box tune and as soon as it ends they blast beat into the song and start ripping the place apart. The drumming is furious and the guitars blow out the walls, before dropping into a melodic stomping, head banging beat. It kicks total butt! “Deviant” pounds your head in with some good roof rattling drum kicking and deep gutteral vox. Once again, a good heavy ass guitar rhythm blows out the walls. “Perpetual Cannabalism”, “Self Proclaimed God” and “Dementia” are brutal blast beaters. Furious as hell!! “Phlebotomized” is a wicked screamer that gets a bit doomish, but picks up to a good melody and the title track unleashes more screaming, growling, blast beating fury. “Insomnies” ends the slaughter with a good pounding melody and some wicked ass screaming on the mic.
An awesome display of how they do Death in France. Furious and brutal. Pretty much the way we want Death to be. They also have a newer cd out called “Identisick”, which I haven't heard yet, but I soon will. This is good shiiiiiaaatt!!!!!
