:: ::
:: After catching some buzz for their 2016 EP, Brutal Queen, it ::
:: was time for Sisters of Suffocation to show the world if ::
:: they could maintain the same high quality death metal over ::
:: the course of a full-length effort. With a light being cast ::
:: in their direction due to the fact that this is an all- ::
:: female death metal act, we'll get that point out of the way, ::
:: so that we can focus on what's really important...the music ::
:: itself. ::
:: ::
:: Anthology of Curiosities is brutal. No doubt or question ::
:: about it. Each one of the tracks therein has a pedigree of ::
:: brutal death metal to it, even if it is occasionally spiced ::
:: up by some melodic currents or a few isolated sections of ::
:: spoken word vocals (which are quite effective). The ::
:: aggressive riffing is such that fans of acts like Cannibal ::
:: Corpse and Suffocation could easily dig into it on the first ::
:: listen, yet some of the slightly melodic turns make it so ::
:: that it's never a blur. Dark atmospheres and acoustic ::
:: guitars roll out in "This is Not My Home"/"I Swear," chunky ::
:: riffs give "Psychosurgery" more substance, and excellent ::
:: leadwork ("The Hunger") all play their part in this, but the ::
:: visceral moments also have an underlying coat of melody that ::
:: you can pick apart with subsequent listens. There's a ::
:: catchiness beneath some driving riffs like those in "Our ::
:: Bodies Will Rot" that will capture your interest and help ::
:: bring you back to the album once it's finished. Vocalist Els ::
:: Prins has some guttural mastery, but also switches it up ::
:: with some screams (along with the spoken word) to give her a ::
:: more well-rounded arsenal than you might expect to find. ::
:: ::
:: Sisters of Suffocation deliver a full-length on par with ::
:: their previous material in Anthology of Curiosities. Those ::
:: who are looking for something that's entirely brutal, but ::
:: not mindless in its bludgeoning are going to find some ::
:: thrills here. ::
