Album Review: Crème Flesh – Casablumpkin (Comatose Music)

Canada’s Crème Flesh will release their debut album, the ludicrously titled Casablumpkin, on May 5th, 2023, via Comatose Music.

They’re called Crème Flesh, their album is called Casablumpkin, and they play death metal. I think we all know what we’re in for here. That being said, it’s not all about familiarity here, and thanks to a manic delivery, Crème Flesh make their blood-spattered mark. Just because they’ve got their tongue jammed in their cheek, doesn’t mean you can’t take it seriously.

Especially as it does take such an aggressive and intense stance from beginning to end. The feral and furious instrumentation joined by vocals that are akin to a stinking, bubbling cesspit. Crème Flesh are clearly a talented bunch, they just so happened to be focusing that talent into a evisceration of the senses.

Liable to offend those of a more conservative disposition, tracks like In Space No One Can You Hear You Cream, Lawrence of a Labia, On Her Majesty’s Secret Cervix, and From Russia with AIDS, might have garish names but they deliver such unadulterated guttural heaviness, that a sense of ‘comedy’ is forgotten. When it comes down to it, Casablumpkin is a complete and utter slab of brutal death metal.

There’s not really anything else to say. It’s gross, it’s silly, it’s savage, and it’s extreme. Do you fancy it?
