Another skull-crushing oddity/rarity from Autopsy member Eric Cutler that came from one of his many side-projects that he was involved in during the mid 1990s, Doomed To Death Damned In Hell is the complete collection of the recorded output of his band Doomed, reissued a while back by Apehlion. Compared to some of the other projects that Cutler was involved in during this period, Doomed sounded the most like a direct offshoot of his main band Autopsy, playing a variation of that band's barbaric, sludgy death metal. That's not surprising, seeing as how Doomed also featured Cutler's Autopsy bandmates Chris Reifert and Danny Coralles, along with Autopsy buddy and Finnish expat Petri Toivonen on vocals. The punky racket that Doomed whipped up definitely has it's own unique cadaverous stench, though. If anything, this is a direct predecessor to what these guys would do with the later band Abscess, belting out a similar strain of violent, psych-tinged grindpunk with a heavy dose of lysergic weirdness pumping through its gnarled, pulsing black veins.

     This disc collects everything that Doomed put out during their brief run, including the Haematomania 7" and the Broken 7" that came out on Peaceville and Relapse in 1993 and 1994, respectively. I loved that Relapse EP back when it came out, but the Peaceville Ep was always really hard to find, so I never had a chance to listen to those tracks until now; again, these songs are really reminiscent of the filthy tripped-out grindpunk of Abscess, mashing together ratty hardcore punk, doom metal, maniacal old-school grindcore, primitive death metal, and the occasional 70's rock riff complete with wailing wah-wah abuse or blast of fucked-up psychedelic guitar shred. It's killer stuff, a feral, punk-damaged assault of violent heaviness with some wickedly atonal riffs and a general atmosphere of chaos and violence. The stuff from the two 7" releases makes up the bulk of this collection, accompanied by a raw live recording of the band performing "Witches" at a New Jersey club in 1993, and comes with a twelve page booklet includes liner notes, photos and reproductions of the original 7" sleeve art and lyrics.
