From the album's classic cover painting down to its guttural production, None So Vile established death metal as a truly vulgar artform. The somber piano that opens "Phobophile" only premeditates madness. With each slurp from his chalice, Lord Worm smears the line between what's sacred and profane until it's dead and dripping. "Hatred and violence are not our ways, but firm we are", he barks before "Slit Your Guts" splats beneath the brutal slap of bassist Eric Langlois.
