Vormit (or Vomit if you insist), is a death/grind band from my hometown. This is their first album but the band is no rookie. The band has earned places in huge concerts like the annual “Rock the World” concert where they played to a crowd of 10,000.
Enough with the introduction, let’s get into their music. The first track, Universal Struggle starts off with an ambient intro but it gets torn apart with a grindcore entrance all stirred in a stew of death metal vocals and very audible bass. There’s guitar solo during a breakdown in this song with a couple of bends but no crazy shredding. However, after the breakdown/guitar solo part the riffs starts to become strikingly similar to Napalm Death’s Silence Is Deafening.
The second track (Reaching and Reclaimed Part 2) contains a lot of hammer-on. It starts of with a bass intro and reminds me of Napalm Death’s Greed Killing. Reminding me in good way it is. Again a solo is present here. There’s a little bit of shredding here and it could easily fit into a power metal song. The next track has a “sad” sounding aura to it. However the bluesy guitar solo gives a lot of power into it. The fourth track, Ill-Resolved is a 50 second track with interchangeable vocals of not-so-high throat shredding and death metal growls.
Throughout the album, their grindcore side is quite dominant. The lack of guitar solos in the latter half makes the album fall to a much grindcore side over death metal. However, don’t get me wrong, the whole album has a death metal structure instead of micro songs. The sound quality may not be the best but it still stands in the audible zone. I really recommend this album to the fans of Napalm Death and due to this band’s “moshcore” sound at some moments I recommend this to fans of Hatebreed who wants to get into grindcore.
