In 2008 G.O.D. re-recorded most of their “Neurofibromatosis” demo (+ 3 new tracks) in a studio. Supposedly this recording session was meant for future split 7” releases but unfortunately they didn’t want to use it after being dissatisfied with the result and a “plethora of logistical problems”. So the band started to re-record the songs once more in the years to come, for example in 2009 for splits with Archagathus and Hyperemesis (partially). This time they recorded the material all on their own again which ultimately resulted in a better sound that fit the band’s vision.
Due to their 10th anniversary G.O.D. decided to pull out the 2008 session again and finally release it. Despite the drum triggers that were used here the result still sounds pretty natural to me. I guess you really need a “drummer’s hearing” to really tell the difference between an unlucky mix or whether the drums are really triggered. The guitars sound great and sharp like on most G.O.D. releases, with influences ranging from Repulsion to Dead infection and Napalm Death. In comparison to their other recordings it still feels like it’s hold back a bit though. The vocals are delivered by all band members again ranging from pitch shifted growls to yelling and screams.
“Decade of defilement” is available on tape from Campaign For Musical Destruction (CAN) and Cadaveric Dissolution Records (RUS).
