Dehydrated is one of the many bands that I’ve heard a lot about over the years but have never heard until now. Paragon Records sent me “30 years Of Sickness: a Two CD, almost two-and-a-half-hour compilation of pretty much everything the band has released. So hey, I’m all caught up with this one release.
If you listen to this for the first time and are like me who had never heard the band until now, you may be like “This is great, but I’ve heard this before”. It’s a bit of Carcass mixed with early U.S. Death Metal and Benediction. Keep in mind that Dehydrated was there in the early 90’s at the very beginning of Death Metal. I just missed out! This music is the kind of Death Metal I prefer. Brutal, catchy, heavy and fast and well played with fancy guitar solos and leads at times and some horror movie sound samples to boot. That’s something I’ve always loved; the horror movie sounds samples. All of the material on this two CD set is great, even the demo stuff. They are obviously a band that has always looked for quality musicians during times of change and that’s probably why they are still around today. This set contains material from their 2025 EP “Victim”, their 2019 EP “And Death Shall Have No Dominion”, their 2017 album “Resurrection”, their debut album “Ideas” and their side of a split with the bands Bestialit and Burnt. The vocals at times remind me of David Ingraham of Benediction and the lyrics touch on themes like Death, murder, horror, disease processes and more. The production varies of course since its music spans over three decades. The sound is good to great all the way through.
The cover art is a grotesque collage of dissected human bodies and people being tormented. Inside the booklet you will find more artwork including the cove rimage for each album that is on the comp. All of the lyrics are also printed within and there are band photos and band and album info as well.
Well, if you’re a fan of Death Metal at all, especially the kind that doesn’t try to be too fancy and sticks to the “Old Ways”, this career-spanning CD set is a perfect way to get into this great band. This garners my highest recommendation! Good going, gentlemen!
As always, I like to ask my readers to support the artists, bands and labels by buying the physical copies of the albums they love or by visiting their Bandcamp pages and supporting them there.
