Centinex’s Redeeming Filth arrived in late 2014 on Agonia Records, presenting a slab of death metal steeped in old school grit and melodic undercurrents. Across ten tracks, including “Death Glance,” the Swedish outfit delivers a dense, guttural experience marked by a raw yet deliberate approach. The record’s riffing channels the decay and brutality familiar to aficionados of the genre, with a measured emphasis on melody that sets it apart from more one-dimensional fare.Though reception was mixed, with some noting a “gargantuan deterioration of songwriting brilliance” and rating it six out of ten, the album nonetheless secured a modest audience within death metal circles, evidenced by over sixty thousand Last.fm scrobbles. Tracks like “Moist Purple Skin” and “Rotting Below” maintain the band’s allegiance to the genre’s foundational ethos, making Redeeming Filth a notable artifact for collectors tracing the lineage of melodic death metal in the 2010s.
