Sulfuric Cautery - Consummate Extirpation LP
Sulfuric Cautery has spent more than a decade buried in the heart of the underground, sweating in basements, tearing through DIY shows, trading tapes, and refusing every shortcut that might have diluted their extremity. They became one of the purest, most uncompromising forces in hyper-blasting goregrind not by accident, but through a relentless commitment to the sound and the community that shaped them.
And now, after years of carving their identity in the most extreme corners of Goregrind, they unleash something even more focused, more punishing, and more deliberate: their first fully realized Brutal Death Metal album.
This isn’t a side-step. This isn’t a hybrid. This is Sulfuric Cautery throwing themselves into Brutal Death Metal with total devotion, carrying every ounce of their underground history with them. Goregrind and Brutal Death Metal may share roots, but "Consummate Extirpation" plants a flag firmly and proudly in BDM territory. It’s the sound of a band not just shifting genres, but evolving through sheer force of will.
The moment the album erupts, it becomes clear: this is a declaration. The influences from Last Days Of Humanity to Orchidectomy, and countless underground pillars are honored with reverence and amplified through Sulfuric Cautery’s decades deep intensity.
Even in the production, every element is pushed beyond comfort, beyond restraint, only to be elevated by their tightest performance and ankle breaking grooves (yes, you read right!). The record hits with precision and fury, blasts sharpened to a breaking point, riffs stacked into collapsing walls of sound, disgorged vocals delivered like a lifetime of underground passion erupting at once. It’s chaotic yet controlled, violent yet purposeful, overwhelming yet meticulously crafted.
But what truly sets "Consummate Extirpation" apart is its heart. This album radiates sincerity, the kind that comes only from a band who has lived, breathed, and sacrificed for this music. This is a love letter written with sweat, grit, and absolute commitment. It’s fueled by the same fire that keeps the underground alive: people who believe in extremity, who build scenes with their own hands, who show up even when no one is watching.
"Consummate Extirpation" is Sulfuric Cautery reborn, not abandoning their past, but forging a new chapter. This is Brutal Death Metal carried with honor, shaped by years in the trenches, and delivered with an intensity only the true underground can create.
