A review by
Lucas March 02, 2010
It's '92 when World Without God is released and although I'm not sure of the exact release date, I'm pretty sure I spent most of the particular day pooping my diapers, delicately placing my meals everywhere but in my mouth and generally annoying the crap out of my parents in as many different ways as possible. Good times.
A world without god must be a pretty ghastly world, because that's the sound of World Without God. There's a lot of depth to their production - especially the bass seems to roar into infinity - which greatly benefits the albums enveloping aspects. You will be sucked into the vortex of crazy spaced-out riffs and gutturals with that typical lovely hoarse edge to them. It's a relentless attack on the senses, in pure old school Death metal fashion. Every song is a delight with the constant changes in pace, the shifting between simple headbanger riffs and the more complex mindfucker riffs, the Doom-influences that seep in from time to time... What a dark and depressing album. It grabs you and does not let you go, for the full thirty-eight minutes. It's consistently strong throughout the entire album, it's wonderfully rotten and deceased, it's a World Without God.
Relapse Records re-released this otherwise near unattainable underground gem. They threw in the Resuscitation Of Evilness demo as well. Thanks, guys! Now there's no excuse anymore: if you dig old school Death metal, if you dig rotten and extreme music, if you dig spaced-out sonic violence - get yourself some World Without God!

Relapse is doing some nice work with re-releasing Convulse and also Nirvana 2002. I wonder who will be next in line.

I remember ylside/yields posted a Youtube link a while back in the shoutbox and I fell in love with the music. Then I looked up and realized it was Convulse, and then felt ashamed for not listening to their music in such a long time...  Easily an 8.5; nice review.

A nice surprise to see on the front page of MS... Excellent one from a great band. The second album (Reflection) is awesome but in its own rock and rollish way. Both are recommended! Written by Troy Killjoy on 02.03.2010 at 15:54 Yeah well trust me, I dont just post random shit.
