Chicago’s masters of death f**kin’ metal, BROKEN HOPE return with their seventh studio album “Mutilated And Assimilated”! In contrast to its predecessor, 90% of the material was written by the band’s founding member Jeremy Wagner resulting in sickening trademark BROKEN HOPE riffage all over the place. With the addition of bassist Diego Soria (Disgorge) and brilliant lead guitarist Matt Szlachta (ex-Chimaira), BROKEN HOPE have created a horrifyingly brutal yet catchy sonic massacre! Also, vocalist Damien Leski (Gorgasm) is at the top of his game, showing an inhuman guttural range perfectly intoning Wagner’s disgusting lyrics whereas drummer Mike Miczek hits hard with savage blasts and punishing grooves. Again, the album’s cover was created by Wes Benscoter (Autopsy, Kreator, Slayer etc.) rounding off a fantastic record for fans of brutal US death metal. From the scorching opening track “The Meek Shall Inherit Shit” over to the monstrous “Mutilated And Assimilated”, from the extremely diverse “The Carrion Eaters” to the vicious “Hell’s Handpuppets”, which kicks off with one of the band’s trademark acoustic pieces, “Mutilated And Assimilated” is gory glory from start to finish. Closing off with a devastating medley of the re-recorded 1991 classics “Swamped In Gore” and “Gorehog”, now dubbed “Swamped-In Gorehog”, this is a must for all you death metal freaks!
