All Spawns – Appalling Spawn Elvenefris – Lykathea Aflame 2012 Blood Music Two classic bits of Technical Death Metal were just given a glorious vinyl treatment by the good folks over. They are a non-profit group dedicated to releasing some of the best metal in extremely limited runs on CD and vinyl. The two albums up for review are by Appalling Spawn (this being their first time on vinyl) and Lykathea Aflame, the former band essentially being an early incarnation of the latter. What we have are two similar but very different albums. The Appalling Spawn material leans towards the more brutal and raw side of Death Metal while Lykathea Aflame takes the technicality, kicks it up a notch, and adds a sprinkle of Prog. Appalling Spawn – All Spawns, Original releases in 1996 and 1998. The Appalling Spawn record contains the bands EP Beastial, Mystical & Spiritual (The First Spawn) and their full length album Freedom, Hope and Fury.

Hence the title All Spawns (because it’s fucking everything they released). I had never heard this album until now, and to be honest, I wasn’t aware of this early version of Lykathea Aflame.

So the day the records arrived in the mail and my lube-soaked fingers peeled away the packaging, I slapped this bad boy right onto the turntable. The album opens up with what sounds like a demon being awakened from hell only to scrape your face off and pour salt into the exposed meat seconds later when the crippling riff and blasting drums awaken the inner Metal. This lovely opener is “.” Because the set consists of the two albums, expect a little drop in recording quality when you get to side C. From start to finish this is a hell of a listening experience. Appalling Spawn is extremely heavy — brOOtalz, if you will — while being insanely technical. Fans of later Death and Gorguts should greatly appreciate what is going on here. As amazing as the musicianship is, this isn’t an album for someone who isn’t into the aggressive sounding nature of Death Metal, which the album is first and foremost.
