Jesus Wept - Psychedelic Degeneracy (CD)

Release Date: 03/11/21

While still heavily Carcass influenced, this EP is a step forward in defining their sound.

Decibel Magazine once again covered the band sharing, 'What’s crystal clear from this Detroit quartet’s new four-song offering is their Heartwork-era worship, and willingness to infuse their tunes with some melodic, Americanized crunch and plenty of groove. Yeah, Carcass are obviously a notable influence, but Jesus Wept put a surprisingly accessible spin on the death ’n’ roll here.' Popular metal site Toilet ov Hell wrote, 'This Necroticism worship is never a bad thing, but the moments where the band showcases their own tools of the trade prove they’re morgue than just a carbon copy. “Dispossession” starts with a mesmerizing triplet riff that will fracture all but the most reinforced scaphoids, and the title track slices through to the brain with its sharp songwriting (looking at you, unexpected melodic breakdown). Keep on a’rottin’ me, Jesus Wept. This one’ll surely sputum on the map.'
