"Welcome To The Orgy" is nothing less than the re-edition of three "mini" CD of the English band Deviated Instinct. Just to know it, they were actually one of the first signatures of the British cult label Peaceville record which decided lately to re-edit this album as an homage to the band. I don't know if a lot of you know them if you don't, maybe that it could be a good way to discover them right?

With Deviated Instinct, don't expect something extremely complex and technical. The band plays Crust Core, something that you could link with Death, Grind, Punk and even Doom/Stoner. Their songs are real Metal blasts with strong Punk rhythms and even if it's a bit basic on a side, I can't deny that it is catchy. A bit like with old school Death Metal, there is something hypnotic in the music of Deviated Instinct and really if you like this kind of music you'll be nicely surprised by this album.

Also, there is something extremely interesting on this re-edition. First, there is a new cover and a cool digi-pack, but also a really good booklet that features all the original covers, a lot of pictures, some useful information and the lyrics. The whole EP was remastered (a good thing when you see, even now, the average quality of some old songs?) in 2004 and the sound is ok without being outstanding too. But you'll be able to see the evolution of the band, and it's flagrant to see that Deviated Instinct was better and better with time to reach its paroxysm on Guttural Breath. If the first release is a bit weak, you can be sure that the songs of Guttural Breath are really good. It's a really good old school Death Metal no doubt?

"Welcome To The Orgy" is an excellent way to discover (with some good recording conditions) a great band from England. Their songs (especially the ones of Guttural Breath) are classy and will please the fans of the style. This is maybe not a must or something fresh but if you like such music, this release deserves all your attention.
