VORUM – Current Mouth EP

Geography lesson first: Vorum hail from the Åland Islands – an autonomous but Swedish speaking part of Finland. They play a corrosive and aggressive form of death metal. This EP is extremely forceful and to the point, merging the early days of grinding death metal with the primitivism of South America. It is a fairly original offering in terms of sound. Execution is fairly good too. The only problem is that the songwriting isn’t amazing and after a few spins the brutality has ceased to effect the listener. Meaning we are left with a good but not great record, as so often happens when bands are more concerned with their sound than the quality of the songs. Still – not a bad effort overall.
