Album Review – Barbarism / Predetermined Extinction (2026)

Behold the debut album by this newborn Brutal Death Metal beast, exploring the idea that what appears to be absolute chaos is, in fact, governed by hidden order.

Inspired by the relentless spirit of classic Brutal Death Metal, the ruthless Indonesia and Ecuador-based trio Barbarism is unleashing upon humanity their vision of cosmic annihilation through calculated brutality in the form of their debut opus, titled Predetermined Extinction. Produced by the band itself, with vocals recorded at Calamity Streak Recording, guitars and bass at Resonance Beast Studio, and drums at V Studio, mixed and mastered at Resonance Beast Studio, and displaying a killer artwork by Andik Godfinger, the debut by Ardian Atmosunaryo (Deserter, Devastrosity, Goremorphosis, Obscure Odium, Over Power) on vocals, Roby Agus (Cryogenic, Decaying Human, Devastrosity, Goremorphosis, Gorification, Gorraw) on the guitars and bass, and Claudio Carrasco (Criptor, Huesa Cadáver, Infected Humans, Nephropexy) on drums explores the idea that what appears to be absolute chaos is, in fact, governed by hidden order, being therefore highly recommended for fans of the savagery blasted by bands such as Disgorge, Deeds of Flesh, and Cerebral Effusion.

Claudio ignites the band’s venomous attack with his infuriated beats and fills in Vortex of Celestial Dismemberment, while Ardian delivers those gurgling, inhumane guttural vocals we all love so much; followed by The Creator’s Metabolic Scourge, with its disturbing intro evolving into a cadaverous display of Brutal Death Metal led by the scorching riffage by Roby in a lecture in the genre. Crypts of Uncreation sounds absolutely demented and pulverizing from start to finish, with the massive beats by Claudio making our heads tremble, and the band once again delivers a high dosage of their undisputed savagery in Xul’s Vermicular Feast, with Ardian vomiting the song’s gory words while Roby continues to shred his axe in the name of violence; whereas The Architect’s Final Theorem is another no shenanigans onrush of brutality led by the crushing drums by Claudio.

There’s still a lot of fuel (or maybe I should say corpses) to burn in Predetermined Extinction, starting with the disruptive Catalogue of Calculated Carnage, with the guitars by Roby transpiring aggression while cutting our flesh mercilessly, while Immaculate Putrescence is one of the most demented songs of the album (if that’s humanly possible), offering our putrid ears an avalanche of Brutal Death Metal through their gruesome roars and infernal blast beats. Chaos in Order sounds as demonic as its predecessors, despite lacking a bit of the dynamism found in the rest of the album; and closing the album we have Structured Violence, bringing forward more of their trademark Brutal Death Metal sounds led by Claudio’s hammering drums, before all fades into an eerie, cryptic outro.

“This album is our tribute to the era of brutal death metal that shaped us while forging an identity rooted in structured violence, anti-creation, and the inevitable collapse of existence,” commented such an unrelenting trio, and you can find more details about the band and their music on Facebook and on Instagram, and of course purchase a copy of the infernal Predetermined Extinction from their own BandCamp or from Grave Island Records, or simply click HERE for all things Barbarism. Predetermined Extinction is Brutal Death Metal at its finest because, as you might already know, where structure dies, barbarism begins.

Worst moments of the album: Chaos in Order.

Album Review – Devastrosity / Eviscerating Desolation (2025)

Get ready for an unstoppable Brutal Death Metal assault of skull crushing impact in the form of nine tracks of complete carnage made in Indonesia.

From Kediri in East Java, Indonesia, comes a new venture into audio violence from a trio of musicians with a wealth of experience in the fertile Indonesian Death Metal scene. Carrying in its name a fusion of the words “devastate” and “monstrosity,” the unrelenting Brutal Death Metal brigade  Devastrosity is back with the follow-up to their 2024 demo Human Depravation, their brutish debut album Eviscerating Desolation. Recorded at Calamity Streak Recording (vocals), Resonance Beast Studio (guitars and bass), and Volcanic Studio (drums), mixed and mastered at Texas SickLab Studio, and showcasing a gory, demented artwork by Rudi Gorgingsuicide, the debut full-length attack by Ardian on vocals, Roby on guitar and bass, and Billy on drums is an unstoppable assault of skull crushing impact, with its nine tracks of complete carnage presenting a slab of Brutal Death Metal at its disease ridden, corpse consuming, flesh-rending best.

Their wicked, gory sounds arise from the pits of hell in Human Depravation, with Billy taking the lead with his beyond demented drumming in a bestial display of Brutal Death Metal, and a title like Morbid Desires deserves sheer brutality flowing from all instruments, with the gruesome vocals by Ardian adding even more violence to their core sound. The trio continues to spread gore and violence in The Dealer of Death, with Roby doing an amazing job with his stringed axes, offering an overdose of brutality; and it’s pedal to the metal in the bludgeoning Sadistic Purge of Society Manifest, with Billy kicking us hard in the head with his nonstop, demented drumming. Then a phantasmagorical start quickly morphs into another slab of bestiality entitled Hellish Consumption, offering more of their hard hitting riffs and beats.

Ardian keeps roaring and vomiting cadaverous words in Devastate Atrocity, supported by the demented sounds blasted by his bandmates in the name of putrid extreme music, and the trio shows no sign of slowing down or anything like that, selling their souls to Brutal Death Metal and blasting our faces with Decay Collapse, again spearheaded by Billy’s infernal drums, followed by Parasitic Epidemic, bringing forward over three minutes of unrelenting sounds where Ardian’s deep guttural matches flawlessly with the demonic riffs by Roby, elevating the album’s insanity to a whole new level. And last but not least, let’s slam into the pit to their Indonesian madness with Cadaveric Feast, with Ardian and Billy sounding like demented, inhumane creatures.

Ready to unleash the blood storm of Eviscerating Desolation, Devastrosity are waiting for you on Facebook and on Instagram with news, tour dates and so on, and you can also find their sick, depraved music on Spotify and purchase their infernal debut album from Comatose Music’s BandCamp or webstore (or click HERE for all things Devastrosity). Eviscerating Desolation possesses an unnerving clarity to its sound, but be warned that such a visceral album is not for the curious, casual listener. This is no shenanigans, furious Brutal Death Metal highly recommended for fans of Brodequin, Putridity, Disgorge, and Devangelic, among others, absolutely and demonically intense to the last drop of blood.
