More utter brutality from the Ossuary Industries camp. This time we're going to Crestview, Florida for brutal death metal band Gutfucked and also going all the way back to 2013 with their sole release, to this date in 2020 at least, entitled "Fucked to Death". According to the Metallum, Gutfucked were formed in October 2011 and are apparently still active today. The band is comprised of Josh Smith (vocals), Anthony Davis (guitar and backing vocals), Josh Cuchens (guitar) and Nate Flores (drums). Gutfucked's music is an awesome blend of oldschool style riffs mixed with a heavy dose of brutal slam and also the right touch of technical abilities throughout. Just when you get comfortable with the oldschool styles of mid to fast paced drums and riffage, out of nowhere the bass drops and you're faced with punishing slow paced slams that make you want to throw furniture (and possibly any person in your immediate vicinity) around the house, the yard, the park, the car, or wherever you are at the time. They then decide to throw you a curveball to hit you with some awesome technical blasty passages. As said earlier, it's a great mix of different musical aspects and keeps the listener intrigued and wanting more. "Fucked to Death" starts off with a 2 minute 27 second intro entitled, well, ironically enough, "Intro" which starts with something like a soothing musical score with soothing beautiful music behind an equally beautiful female voice that's somewhat operatic in nature. At the 1 minute mark of "Intro" though all hell breaks loose with midpaced double kicks and a long guttural growl before grinding your nose in the floor then back to a midpaced tempo before dropping the slam hammer before conjoining into track 2 "It's Not Rape If She Cums" with no break. Josh Smith's vocals are just pure disgusting, bowel churning, brutal gutturals. Some of the lowest gutturals out there and the vocal patterns flow well with the musical structure around them. Anthony and Josh C's guitar playing is what you expect and want from a brutal death metal outfit. Thick, tasty and dirty guitar tone along with the talent to put forth this blend of musical techniques in the structures they do. Trem picking single note progressions, start-stop gallops, brutal chugs, technicality without overusing it, pinch harmonics in the right places, the occasional sweeping (especially evident on the final track "A Night With Uncle Daddy" at the 1 minute 26 second mark) and a short but delicious solo one guitarist after the other from what the mix sounds like. Nate Flores is just a monster behind the kit as well. Great stickwork, great footwork, making good use of his entire kit, excellent transitions between tempo changes, etc. Gutfucked also bring in a few friends to lend their vocal talents to this album. Matti Way (Cinerary, Liturgy, ex-Disgorge, ex-Pathology, ex-Abominable Putridity, among others) on track 3 "Too Sick to Suck It", Meik Grziwa (Begging for Incest and Goreputation) on track 6 "Starved, Carved and Torn Apart" and Devin Alford (Impending Pestilence and ex-Swine Overlord) on track 8 "Pick a Hole or Make One". "Fucked to Death" was recorded, mixed and mastered at Beneath the Surface Studios by Josh Cuchens and Gutfucked. Cover art and layout was done by Raphael Gabrio from Insane Visions. This is definitely a band that I wish I would've been around when they first came out and hope that they aren't done making music. I would love to hear some new stuff from these Florida sickos. Time will tell I guess. If you like a slammin' good time, go check these guys out at the links below!
