In their most solidified sound malevolent creation expose the core of direct and basic aggression in florida death metal with a high speed masterpiece that also slowly graduates the genre from its anthemic roots in rock-n-roll. rolling lightspeed strumming crushes melody and tone in advancing structure of destruction. although sometimes too close to the anthemic bounciness that makes both Kreator and florida metal at times unlistenable, this music knows its strength and thus emphasizes tone-centric short phrases chopped into abrupt rhythms alternating with racing and lightly melodic ascents of longer phrase. gutpuking is an abrupt bark and drumming is precise and fast while maintaining the background ambience of non-intrusive technical drumming. a satisfying release that recalls a history of death and speed metal alongside a future projection of extreme structuralist music, "envenomed" delivers the satisfaction of insane florida death metal.
