about

Goatgrind Records is proud to announce the official reissue of Psychopathic Embryotomy. This is the classic, jaw-dropping 1994 cassette demo by New York death metal legends Afterbirth that started it all!

Featuring four songs of some of the earliest and sickest sounding death metal ever recorded, Afterbirth unintentionally spawned the brutal death metal genre with this harsh and gore-soaked musical monstrosity. Psychopathic Embryotomy also showcases the inhuman growls of original singer Matt Duncan who was the first death metal singer ever to use the ultra-low and guttural vocal technique. Often imitated but never duplicated it simply must be heard to be believed!

Repackaged with amazing new artwork and layout, the demo also contains re-recordings of the classic songs “Aborted Christ” and “Impure Conception” captured live in the rehearsal studio with new vocalist Will Smith (Artificial Brain). All of the original and unrelenting sickness is here along with a malignant injection of new energy and brutality that is sure to please even the most die hard fans!

This is a limited edition repressing of a paradigm-shifting demo that is destined to become a cult phenomenon all over again. Order your copy today.

Tastefully done Death Metal a band that is just killing it today. A fantastic 2 song E.P. that crushes and hits you hard. Not too technical but they throw in some dank riffs and killer rhythms. Love their style and really like their approach. I can say this buy their stuff and support them. They are making a name for themselves and they are only going to get bigger. GalaxyBeyond

Spun it about 5 times over the past weekend, in a sea of overbearing DM this demo hits hard with those blasts that groove along with the pummel of the riff, and solos and synths that take you somewhere else, better than the record versions imo. bacon_cakez
