ANATOMIA / ETERNAL ROT (Jp/Pl) – split CD

Anatomia hail from Japan and have been churning out their dismal, doom-y variety of death metal since 2002. Originally highly inspired by Autopsy, the band has since developed a sound that is wholly their own – one that teeters between the atmospheric creepiness of funeral doom and the punishing ferocity of old school death metal. This is the band’s 4th split since their 2021 full-length masterpiece “Corporeal Torment.”
Eternal Rot is a Polish act formed in 2012. With a handful of full lengths and EPs under their belt, the trio have concocted a unique sound that flawlessly combines crawling, sludgy doom-ridden guitar and drumming with deep, gurgling guttural vocals. Think early Cianide riffs with a hint of Goatsnake, and vocals that wouldn’t be out of place on a goregrind record. Truly CRUSHING! Be sure to scoop up last year’s “Moribund” album from the band – it will blow you away.
