I remember hearing Prophetic Throne of Ivory on Corporate Death way back in the day and just being blown away. I didn't realize death metal could be so atmospheric. Disembowelment are amazin.
They were among the first to make atmospheric doom, and they're still among the best. Absolutely monstrous release that combines abyssal eerie elements with raw, tasteful faster parts. Inverloch is great, but even with most of the members of diSEMBOWELMENT, it's hard to make a second masterpiece like this in a lifetime.
sikk fukken kunt I had just never listened to Disembowelment before, so I didn't realize. I still like Spectral Voice a lot though. Eroded Corridors is an amazing album.
This was the most off key Death Metal album of its day , marginally ignored ... basically for us who were already beyond the realms of Metal and into Kraut rock , Industrial , ambient etc ... was rather hilarious watching my Cannibal mates from the 90s attempting to put into words why they didn´t like this .
This is probably my top all-time extreme metal album and it is amazing that it is the one of the very first albums I ordered from Relapse in the early 90s, on my first mail order from Relapse.
Would be great if this album could get reissued on CD in Australia so I wouldn't have to pay $78+ if I want to get a copy in Australia, the place where the band is actually from. Even the Bandcamp downloads are a ridiculous price.
This album is genius. Very nostalgic for me, brings me back to attending countless amounts of shows at The Rave in Milwaukee, WI. The recording on this album literally sounds like the acoustics captured from The Rave!!! Everytime I listen to this, it makes me feel like I'm home. The Rave was my 2nd home for quite a few years.
Disembowelment isn't for the faint of heart or those with short attention spans. This is a pummeling masterpiece replete with doom & death metal, despair, atmosphere, and mid paced blast beats. #beautyindarkness
@@2giantmonsters Yea, I went and looked it up, the Ornementation EP. Somewhere stuffed away up in the attic along with another 200 cds i need to import some day.
38:08 - 38:27 PURE WRENCHING BRUTALITY! THIS ALBUM THEN AND THROUGHOUT AND THE GRAVE UPHEAVAL ALBUMS CURRENTLY. JUST INCREDIBLE OVERLOOKED BY MOST MASTERPIECES!
Timeless classic. Favorite memory from this album is having a drink with Dean (lead guitar for Necrotomy) at the GB enthusing about this album and how the band could have a smoke after each riff :D This album is the pinnacle of Aussie extreme music, we will never pass this way again...
Wish there would have been more moments on this album like Nightside of Eden. Still a landmark album with lots of imitators that don't quite meet the same mark.
This is the one album i'm scared to listen to and I'm a Funeral doom metal fan. This album is fucking special and more than just death/doom metal. We need new genre for this band really
Or metal could stop it's obsession with genre purity and having sub-sub genres for everything. Metal musos need to let go and create freely instead of trying to stick to rules.
This album was always a long strange journey when listening alone late at night. Always atmospheric, sometimes unnerving. Can’t say that of many death metal/doom albums. Pretty sure I still have an original CD of this in storage somewhere, might have to dig it up
Some albums will be marked as an undisputed landmark contributions to music. In the darkest confines of death metal, this album resides sempiternally enthroned.
This was one of my all-time favorite albums back when I was in my early twenties. It still holds up. I wish i knew where my cd is now a days though. Thank you for posting it here.
The Australians then and now are responsible for some of the greatest heavy and original otherworldly albums ever. This and Winters Into Darkness are true references of a certain sound. I am aware of Traditional Doom and the things categorised as whatever because they are slow and tuned a certain way but this one of the first truly cavernous atmospheric down tempo albums I ever heard produced this way. Almost psychedelic. CLASSIC FOR SURE! The Drumming and it's production on this is incredible!
Xasthur is among a massive group of bands that took a lot of inspiration from this album. The best example in my opinion though is Worm. Gloomlord especially.
Дорогие Relapse Records, пожалуйста, переиздайте (в том числе и в цифре) данный альбом в виде просто альбома из оригинальных семи песен, т.к. сборник 2005 года уж слишком жирный и много весит + бонусы могут быть многим не нужны. И также выпустить в цифре альбомы групп: Mindrot, Morgion. Все их полноформатные альбомы, но только не в виде сборника, а оригинальных альбомов со стандартным набором песен, как на Bandcamp и iTunes! Ваш лейбл - мой самый любимый, я рос на музыке, которую вы продвигали!
@@tommoderitz1077 I checked Excoriate; that one is likely in A-standard tuning. I doubt the rest of them are different other than Nightside of Eden. Any time you get confused, use the low-E string near the 7th/9th and 10th frets to find the root notes and remember that a bunch of this music uses chromatic scales or just patterns that sound good.
@@tommoderitz1077 Album was Drop A for the heavier distorted guitar tracks, the second demo i think was drop G which was just insane, but that was we had a joke type competition with trying to sound heavier than Multiplex (Japan) and a band called Crematory from Sweden - who had a killer demo(s) out back in the day.....LMAO!!
@@aujay Was curious as a newbie guitar player how you guys achieved that specific clean tone (like at the end of The Spirit of The Tall Hills, the start of Your Prophetic Throne of Ivory or even in Nightside of Eden)? It sounds so unique and out there and I'm wondering if it's a byproduct of old-school gear or specifically the production on that album. I genuinely think it's one of this album's aspects that helped set it so apart from other albums then or since! :)
No existe nada similar en su época, y luego; hoy en día no existe mucho igual quien lo replica. Ay muchas bandas quienes llevan inspiración; pero no lo pueden replicar 1/1 por falta de respeto o por deseos de incluir otros influencias extranjeros(Death, Grind). Últimamente; con los años; más y más gente van a regresar a esto luego cuando se aburren de la mierda que es "nuevo"(honestamente tratando de replicar los leyendas de ayer) hoy en dia. Perdón mi español. Aunque la batería es "técnical" y las notas son premeditado sin espacio vacio; es la simplicidad y los transiciones naturales que hace este disco lucir vivo y primordial. Nada sintético; ni hay Piano o Synthesizers dentro cualquier canción. Un inspirador sin duda; por favor compártelo. Perdón mi español; saludos :)
Grandioso y sacral álbum. Para mí que estos tipos vinieron en una máquina del tiempo desde un universo oscuro, místico y atmosférico. Salido de nuestro entendimiento como si fuese un universo Lovecraftniano viajando hasta nuestra época allá en los lejanos noventas y grabaron ésto. Es demasiado este álbum, adelantadisimo a su época.
And Cadaver from Norway, but in all honesty we in fact covered Vulgar Necrolatry at a few jam sessions back in day and i have a recording of us playing it and it's really not a bad version!

The best Death/Doom album ever made. Their style and that atmosphere are inimitable.
These guys are amazing. But I'd say Winter-into darkness is #1 death/doom album. 2nd Cianide-The dying truth 3rd Disembowelment TIP

A sacred mystique about this. I could hardly believe what I was listening to in '95. Especially as a stoner. It added new levels.
I remember hearing Prophetic Throne of Ivory on Corporate Death way back in the day and just being blown away. I didn't realize death metal could be so atmospheric. Disembowelment are amazin.
this album makes me feel like a human sacrifice walking shackled up a mountain to my inevitable doom

Inverloch is great, but even with most of the members of diSEMBOWELMENT, it's hard to make a second masterpiece like this in a lifetime.
Renato Gallina is diSEMBOLWEMENT
It is really a good idea for them to end this band in one album. Going forward will be meaningless, they transcended all the way with this one.
Not to speak badly of Spectral Voice, but now I can see where they got a lot of ideas for their sound from.
sikk fukken kunt I had just never listened to Disembowelment before, so I didn't realize. I still like Spectral Voice a lot though. Eroded Corridors is an amazing album.
I can assure you diSEMBOWELMENT is a huge influence on the dudes is SV.

First time I listened to this, I thought it was a little boring. Still, I was drawn to it, and now I can’t stop listening to it.
The band "Worm" has a huge influence from Disembowelment in their sound. I classify this style as Black/Death/Doom
Krypts eats Worm for breakfast.
@@SUNA1NO2ONNA nah
WORMS LIVE PERFORMANCE IS TIGHT AS FUCK THEY SOUND SO FUCKING GOOD
Its actually more Doom metal for me than anything else.
one of the best albums i´ve ever heard, brutal, original, atmospheric. 10/10.

Blah blah blah shut up
Yeah, I like it but I don think my attention span is adjusted well enough to absolutely love it rn
i think burial at ornans is one of my favourite death metal songs ever
I used to have the cassette played it constantly when I went to sleep it has a very dreamlike quality
The only sad thing is they never gave us more. This changed me as a young boy growing up in a weird world.
Fun fact: dISEMBOWELMENT became Trial of the Bow. A very different sound but also very atmospheric.
@@2giantmonsters Ya I remember I had their 1st EP, and at one point the LP they dropped later. I liked it.

One of my very favorite metal albums, I had the cassette tape ages ago. Crushing yet sometimes soothing, truly heavy sound 🎸🥁🤘 ❤ 🍺

Another example of why Death Metal is pinnacle of extreme metal genres there’s a reason why so many genres take influence from all types of DM
brutal classic
We are big fans of doom and ambient we love this!!❤
I have it on good authority that this album is on constant play in Heaven. God Bless.
I hope God likes it better than I do.
Definitely gets better as it goes on. Awesome album \m/
Finally I've meet with this cult album, thanks to the guy from Dream Unending EP comment!
Paul Mazziotta - excellent drumming!!
One of the best metal album ever made.
IMO, The doom/death album. Still the top of the heap to this day. \m/
Underrated and ahead of its time
one of the best albums of all time
Nunca juzgar un álbum por su portada.
that snare sound is killer 🤘
amazing album
Oh hell yeah.
didnt like it in ´93, but i have transcended...
If you want to fell older i remind you: This album was released 30 years ago
Brrrrr
😢😢😢 Im old
This band and album literally has so much influence over the current wave of Death Metal its insane
I bought this one back then. great stuff. pity they only did one album.
Great memories here.. one album ill never forget.

Altars is another great Aussie death metal band
@@cavanray6742 man of taste
The atmosphere reminds me of the movie Begotten
I love that movie
Incredible deathcult!!!
When a death/doom band is inspired by music that isn’t death/doom
YEAHHHHHHH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DRUMSSSSSSSS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
a kvlt 10/10 masterpiece.
Sounds from below the ground.
Tremendous super massive and heavy
drone/doom metal.
Lovecraftian'journey to the otherworlds.
Yep, still jamming
Absolutly BADASSES!!!
this band was a gift, its a treasure
Preordered the reissue on White Wax 🍻
Pioneros en el funeral doom atmosferic , lo mejor que e escuchado en toda mi vida, disembowelmente es como la pelicula el exorcista, insuperable 👌🤘
only been a couple years since the last one and already needing another repress!
Sounds like you might have a problem dude
Love all this album apart from the first 1min and 32 seconds.
For some reason this feels like death metal Xasthur.
Xasthur is among a massive group of bands that took a lot of inspiration from this album. The best example in my opinion though is Worm. Gloomlord especially.
Anybody here familiar with the tuning disembowelment uses for this album/or particulary on tree of life and death?
I think we tuned to drop A for the album, but i could be wrong as it was like 30 years ago.
KiLLeR ALBuM... 🤘🤘
Wow what an album
Good shit 🤘

pretty rad tbf
Obra maestra, malévolo, oscuro, insano, hermoso, tétrico, muy impresionante y cabron disco, brutal...
