VULNIFICUS - INVOCATION - Reviewed by BRUTALISM ! Check it out here at this link: https://brutalism.com/review/Vulnificus---Invocation

First official EP for Vulnificus, a band born just over a year ago and formed by the multi-instrumentalist Wilson Sherels and the singer Eston Browne (for the more attentive ex-singer of the progressive death metaller Gigan).

"Invocation" is therefore the band's first official work to be released via New Standard Elite, 18 minutes of old school brutal death metal played without compromise. The 5 tracks that make up this EP can be listened to without giving anything new but overall, I must say that, albeit for the short duration, it is a great start for this band.

'The Viral Virus' intro catapults us into the darkest group of Vulnificus until the next 'Coerced Into Compliance' which has a truly terrifying mood. Very deep growls and guitars shot towards total chaos. 'Instrument Of Indiscrimination' starts in a more "reflective" but terribly heavy and unbridled headbanging way. Small interlude of drum & bass and you return to a telluric mid tempo.

Unfortunately, too little to say about this band, except that it is, at least in my opinion, a very good start. We hope to hear something new over the long haul in the future. - BRUTALISM

Release Date: June 10, 2022

FFO: Deeds of Flesh, Defeated Sanity, Mortician

Location: USA

Short Bio: VULNIFICUS is a dynamic duo surfacing the roots of brutal death metal from the United States. Formed in the fall of 2021 by W. Sherels - All Instruments (Urotherapy, Epidermolysis) and E.Browne - Vocals (Abolishing the Ignominious), VULNIFICUS attempts to push death metal back to its extreme limits with their debut "INNOMINATION", released November 26, 2021. INNOMINATION was recorded, mixed and mastered at Demolition Studios by W. Sherels with additional recording/mixing of vocals by E. Browne at BWNTWN STN. Drawing comparisons to old Cannibal Corpse, Condemned, Defeated Sanity, Mortician and others, VULNIFICUS signed a deal with New Standard Elite and shortly released their debut single "Induced Rampage". After the overwhelming feedback of "INNOMINATION", VULNIFICUS began to record the follow up to their debut EP the very next month, titled "INVOCATION". Completed at Demolition Studios again, VULNIFICUS blast, grind and shred their way with 5 tracks of audio devastation blending influences from the past and present. Scheduled to release June 2022.
