BLASPHEMOUS CREATION
"Shadows
of Evil" (Self-produced; 2008)
Reviewed by Christopher J. Kelter
Just by looking at the logo you know what you’re getting with Blasphemous
Creation; as far as distinct clues go, the band’s name doesn’t hurt either.
Blasphemous Creation plays brutal death metal that is raw, fast, and semi-chaotic. So you can score “Shadows of Evil” for the old-school
crowd. “Shadows of Evil,” a four-track EP, adds a touch of classic thrash metal that lends a sense of familiarity to the proceedings yet you’d never
consider this thrash at all. The vocals are harsh grunts which is to be expected, but the lead guitars have a sort of Slayer-like out-of-control
mayhem that is simply ear candy.
“Shadows of Evil” was produced by Blasphemous Creation and engineered by Josh Williams. This EP balances the raw, under-produced sound favored by
the originators of the black metal genre with the clarity of modern recording techniques.
Blasphemous Creation: Isaac Wilson on vocals and guitars, Ben Brown on guitars and backing vocals, Jed Wilson on bass, and Travis Edwards on
drums.

"Rest
in Pieces" (Self-produced; 2006) 
Reviewed by Christopher J. Kelter
Blasphemous Creation combines old-school death
metal and blackened thrash for a sound designed for fans that truly love the
underground sound.
The six tracks on “Rest in Pieces” are quickly paced and prove that
relentless riffing never grows old. Even though it’s hard to go wrong with the
old school death metal style, adding in blackened thrash elements can get
tricky. Songs combining these two styles are often sound disjointed – that’s
generally not the case with “Rest in Pieces.” “Rest in Pieces” provides
some evidence that combining old-school death metal and blackened thrash can be
enjoyable. As implied earlier, fans of underground death metal will find a lot
to like with “Rest in Pieces.”
“Rest in Pieces” was produced, recorded, and mixed by Fleshgrinder.
Blasphemous Creation: Fleshgrinder on vocals
and lead guitar, Corpseripper on rhythm guitar, Soul Reaper on bass, and
Bonekrusher on drums.

Rating Guide:
A classic. This record will kick your ass.
Killer. Not a classic but it will rock your world.
So-so. You've heard better.
Pretty bad. Might make a nice coaster.
Self explanatory. Just the sight of the cover makes you wanna hurl.
