Pungent Stench’s 1990 classic debut remastered!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe year 1990 was the moment Death Metal truly exploded.  Bands like Entombed released their debut full lengths (which would later go on to be some of the most respected albums of the entire genre) and soon to be giants of the genre Deicide and Cannibal Corpse would also release their first albums.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut in Austria something even stranger and more twisted was festering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePungent Stench arrived with “For God Your Soul… For Me Your Flesh”, a debut that smashed Death Metal and early Grindcore together into a sound that sounded like a cross between Obituary and Terrorizer!\u003cbr\u003eWhat makes this record stand out is its total rejection of finesse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo melody.  No clean lines.  No attempt at showing off.  Just a filthy, hostile churn of riffs that somehow stick in your skull long after the noise dies down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTracks like “A Small Lunch” and “Blood, Pus and Gastric Juice” prove that primitive Death Metal always hits hardest when it doesn’t try to be clever.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSludge soaked slow sections collapse into savage bursts, and the bass rumbles underneath it all like some diseased animal clawing for daylight.\u003cbr\u003eLike on their early material and the record that followed, Pungent Stench twist D-Beat and Thrash Metal soaked Death Metal into something that lurches between Speed, Doom\u003cbr\u003eand their own brand of morbid humor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey were never a parody, never a joke band.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTheir sick grin only made the filth more vivid.\u003cbr\u003e“For God Your Soul… For Me Your Flesh” might not be the album everyone cites first from Death Metal’s golden era, but it stands as a raw, essential blast of grime and extremity that still demands to be played loud and often.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• A classic album from 1990, generally considered the golden years of Death Metal\u003cbr\u003e• Originally released on then emerging Nuclear Blast Records, then a home for extreme music\u003cbr\u003e• Front cover by Joel-Peter Witkin (o.a.
