review by: Roberto Martinelli

This is an easy one. If you like death metal that incessantly smashes you with brutality and sickness, add this to your list.

Severe Torture has been compared to Cannibal Corpse since day one, and the similarities are certainly present here in the spastic riff style, arrangements and changes. However, Severe Torture are superior to what Cannibal has been doing since 1996's Vile. While Misanthropic Carnage is an album of the same song slightly tweaked in nine different ways, it exemplifies death metal with its savagery and excellent production. Good fun. (7/10)
