200 Stab Wounds - Manual Manic Procedures (180g) LP
With “Manual Manic Procedures”, 200 Stab Wounds unleash a merciless slab of death metal that proudly resurrects the most brutal traditions of the genre while injecting them with a sharp, modern edge. Following their acclaimed 2021 debut “Slave To The Scalpel”, the band doubles down on everything that made them a rising force in underground death metal and then twists the blade even deeper.
Released in 2024, Manual Manic Procedures is a blood-soaked homage to classic gore-drenched death metal. Chainsaw guitar tones, crushing riffs and relentlessly pounding drums dominate the album, while the songwriting remains tight, aggressive and unapologetically violent. This is death metal stripped of excess, direct, punishing and designed to leave scars.
Despite its old-school core, the album benefits from a modern production approach that enhances its brutality without sterilizing its raw edge. Every riff cuts deeper, every blast hits harder, and the overall sound feels massive and suffocating, perfectly suited for fans who crave authenticity with contemporary weight.
Manual Manic Procedures is absolutely not for the faint of heart. It revels in gore, aggression and sonic violence, and stands as a statement of intent: death metal doesn’t need reinvention, it needs conviction. This album has the potential to drag classic gore-soaked death metal back into the collective consciousness of the modern metal scene.
Pressed on 180g heavyweight vinyl, this LP is a must-have for collectors and die-hard death metal fans alike, a brutal listening experience in both sound and physical form.
