The long-lost 1995 cult EP Inherent Perversion returns at last -- primitive, punishing, and essential brutal death metal.

Scattered Remnants' Inherent Perversion was originally released in 1995 in extremely limited quantities through Vaginal Vomit Productions. The EP quickly disappeared into the depths of the underground, circulating primarily through tape trading, word of mouth, and obsessive death metal collectors. Over the decades, however, its reputation only continued to grow.

Today, Inherent Perversion is widely regarded by devoted underground fans as one of the most overlooked and punishing brutal death metal releases of the 1990s -- a savage, forward-thinking recording that helped bridge the gap between old-school death metal and the emerging brutality that would soon redefine the genre. Raw yet crushingly heavy, the EP combines grotesque atmosphere, suffocating riffs, guttural vocal violence, and relentlessly oppressive songwriting into a sound that still feels extreme decades later. While many bands from the era chased technicality or cleaner production, Scattered Remnants embraced pure filth and unhinged aggression. The result was a release that stood apart from its peers and quietly earned cult status among fans of early brutal death metal and underground American extremity. Comparisons to pioneers such as Suffocation, Internal Bleeding, Pyrexia, Mortal Decay, and Morpheus Descends are inevitable, yet Inherent Perversion possesses a uniquely claustrophobic and primitive identity all its own. Remarkably, the EP has never been officially repressed since 1997, making it one of underground death metal's true lost artifacts. Now, nearly three decades later, Inherent Perversion finally returns as part of a complete archival campaign celebrating the recorded works of Scattered Remnants, restoring this long-buried cult classic for both longtime devotees and a new generation of listeners discovering the roots of brutal death metal.
