The Canadian band Orchidectomy existed for a very short period of time and left behind only a demo and one full-length album. This fact can be called one of the reasons that the band did not have time to become widely known even among ordinary fans of "extreme". In addition, there are some nuances here, because of which such teams are unlikely to become particularly popular. For modern, pampered listeners with high-quality and carefully polished sound, the full-length album in question will certainly seem completely unrepresentable and amelodic with a terrible roar, in which there is supposedly no more music than in some kind of noise. Total underground. Unfortunately (or fortunately, whichever you look at it), such an approach will not allow such people to appreciate the tremendous work that the musicians have put into writing and recording this material. The material that had been lying on the shelf for a good two years in 2008 finally saw the light and, perhaps, became one of the most impressive releases of the American underground icon Unmatched Brutality and one of the best debuts in the deadly genre in recent years. "A Prelate's Attrition" features very heavy, raw, dark and fast death metal with a dirty and extremely cruel deep sound and gurgling gorgrind vocals by Justin Boehm (who was also noted by American death grinders Animals Killing People). Orchidectomy are simply obsessed with the God of Speed - no Canadian band has ever reached such a dense brutal slotting and such a level of extremity. And American formations that can compete in brutality with the music of these comrades can be counted on the fingers of one hand. Being influenced by Brodequin, Internal Suffering and Disgorge, Orchidectomy recorded such material that deserves to stand on a par with the best works of a particularly extreme kind of brutal. Broken rhythms and sharp passages, fancy riffs and the general coherence of the musicians' playing at first make the jaw drop - with the band's technique everything is at the highest, far from underground level. Melody in its usual sense is really a minimum here, but this is more than compensated by energy and the darkest oppressive atmosphere, which can be called a kind of Orchidectomy chip. And the sound, for all its underground nature, only adds color to the music of Canadian madmen. Due to the excessive level of brutality and dirty sound for many, Orchidectomy will never become popular among ordinary metalworkers, unlike its fellow countrymen like Cryptopsy, Beneath The Massacre, Neuraxis or even Despised Icon, etc. Well, for me personally, "A Prelate's Attrition" is much preferable to any release of the above commands.
The brand of raw, ultra-fast, rough and at the same time technical death metal, founded by the unforgettable Brodequin, for the first time in several years again showed the class together with Orchidectomy. This is a diamond in the pile of tons of underground garbage being produced now, worthy of standing in line with the best works of recent years on the path of a particularly extreme genre.
