Technically, this is a reissue of Sculpted Horror's 2018 demo. It contains an extra song "Bonewalker" which is an instrumental at the end of the release. Sculpted Horror is an Athens, GA one-man death metal band that sounds Finnish.
Sculpted Horror is clearly influenced heavily by groups like Demilich and Convulse. The riffs are extremely murky and heavy with the kind of putrid, slimy sound that made the Finnish death metal scene so intriguing. The vocals are also the kind of deep-throated croak utilized effectively by those groups. This is a very quick four-song demo in which none of the songs last much longer than four minutes, just enough time to make some creepy, sepulchral noise and wrap up. Let's just say that the release title is apt.
There are a number of very good one-man death metal bands, which seems like it would be a tough thing to pull off. Sculpted Horror have done enough on this demo to make them one to watch. This is a very impressive release.
