Annotations Of An Autopsy - Before The Throne Of Infection

Arguably poised to become the Uk's answer to Job For A Cowboy, Annotations Of An Autopsy are a monstrous proposition, They will make you bleed from EVERY fucking hole...

Old skool death metal fans may harbour doubts as this lowestoft quintet are loved by the twattishly coiffured new-school hordes, but Before The Throne of Infection obliterates such cynicism with sheer intensity and force.
With up to date machine gun drumming and chunky heavy as hell guitar riffs AOAA really do sound like 21st century Death,Autopsy and even Crowbar...without the waist length hair.
The album opens with Rise Of The Leviathan with a chorus heavy guitar throwing you off guard, but then it smashes into a riff that leaves you gagging for more. This follows into Keeper Of The plague lands which isn't the heaviest track on the album but defiantly one of the fastest.

The two stand out tracks for me are Years Of Disgust and Sludge city and even though these songs are also on there E.P They have been remastered, beefed up and matured to leave us with two skull numbingly good tracks.

Overall Before The Throne Of Infection is a simple but exhilarating pleasure ; this is a truly exceptional dose of British brutality.

Also try: Job For A Cowboy, Suicide Silence.

8/10
