Cutting the Throat of God

Ulcerate is a band I listen to and enjoy but seemed to have overlooked during list season. Last time I included them was over a decade ago. It was interesting going and listening to Vermis again to compare; the production has clearly had an upgrade over the years while some of the chaos I enjoyed is less prominent now, on the other hand the dissonance has been severely dialed up (which predates this album) and that is of course something I like. Beyond the dissonance it’s still very dense and heavy while being more melodic than on previous albums. If I was to have one complaint it would be that no song stands out, the songs flow together a bit and I’d have trouble picking one out. Perhaps intentionally it feels more like a long song, but then perhaps it should have been presented as such, but a minor quibble. Cutting the Throat of God is probably my most listened to death metal album in 2024, and I suspect it will see plenty of spins in years to come.
