Anyway, this album, the entire way through, is unforgivingly intense. There is no pause, no relenting, and little breathing room in their riff-soaked syncopated wet dream of unabashed disiplinary musicianship. Listening to it gives me the feeling I got when I first heard Suffocation: my jaw dropped and I couldn't really keep up with the music, I had to just let it slam me against a wall and never stop pummeling me.


75/100, Looking for some brutal death metal with a technical twist?   May 20, 2009

Spawn of Possession tries to blend technical death metal and brutal death metal with their debut Cabinet. It works out for the most part, but it fails to produce anything particularly memorable. The vocals are fine, but nothing all that special. The musicianship is good, but most pure technical death metal bands and even some brutal death metal bands can outdo them. Sometimes the songs fail to make any real impact on me. Most of them don't stick out to me in any way and five minutes after listening I won't remember it at all. That being said, my top songs for this album are "Church of Deviance", "Cabinet", and "Spawn of Possession". It's a solid and interesting death metal album, but not much else.

Brutal Death (Australia)
Every once in a while, there comes a band that just makes you sit up and go "Wow"...for me personally, it happened with Entombed and Carnage in the early days and more recently with bands like Bloodbath, Scent of Flesh and now I can add Spawn of Possession to that list. Technical, brutal death metal in it's purest form just the way I like it. Spawn of Possession is awesome - get on board !!

you really won't find too many albums with this level of musicianship or
hooks.just chocked full of brutality and weighty numbers that make you listen over and over just to capture all of the nuances. brilliant! i just wish amazon had their newest "Noctambulant".
