about

"Carved From Empty Words, to put it simply, is a classic. While previous releases were effortlessly brutal and highly addictive, this new ten-tracker adds an extra level of song-writing brilliance and a greatly increased level of heaviness to the STAMPIN' GROUND experience and the end result is not just a truly great hardcore record, but a genuinely awesome dose of 21st century UK extreme metal. The riffs are harder and faster than before, the vocals harsher and more threatening than ever, and the thrilling tempo changes more expertly executed than even the most avid fan of the band could have predicted. Yes, STAMPIN' GROUND still sound a lot like early Slayer, but in truth, the makers of "Reign In Blood" have consistently failed to produce anything this arse-wideningly savage and invigorating in the last decade.
Ian Glasper & pals have matured considerably since 1998's An Expression Of Repressed Violence. Where before the aim was merely to pound the listener into submission, this time around STAMPIN' GROUND have some incredible songs in their vicious arsenal.
Carved From Empty Words is the best of the lot, a titanic work of masterful aggression and teeth-shattering intensity which is as essential and life-affirming as any record in living memory. If you like your music loud, lean and brutal as f*** then you owe it to yourself to check this out.“
- Kerrang UK, July 2000, 5/5 Review

"STAMPIN' GROUND take their music to new levels of heaviness with a precise brutality that would put most death metal bands to shame. Couple that with a guitar sound straight from the Slayer School Of Extremity and Adams pain filled vocals and STAMPIN' GROUND have got themselves a bona fide extreme classic.“
- Metal Hammer UK, August 2000, 10/10 Review
