2024 Satanath Records (CD)
www.satanath.com
This was the record I was looking for all night, and I found it four reviews deep in the stack! This is a bit more simplistic death metal from Texas, that almighty of death metal US states, whose bands know how to drive home a chunky-ass riff, and Morgue Meat is no exception.
Their style reminds me a little bit of Sathanas mixed with Burial, with perhaps a sprinkling of Nunslaughter and the Florida scene in the early 1990s. Perhaps I hear some Cianide, Celtic Frost, Impetigo, and old Hypocrisy, as well. Whether I'm accurate or not about their influences I don't know, that's just what I hear when I listen to this. They've stitched all this together into their own sound, and I love it. The album is well-recorded, and everything is clear and mixed well. The vocals are drenched in reverb, which helps make them unique. The vocal style is already demonic as fuck, with gurgling croaks and guttural growls all throughout. A fantastic solo or two appears on the record as well, when you least expect it, and the guitarist can really play.
I like the more simplistic style of death metal this band is bringing us, and I'm eager to hear what's next. hopefully they have another record for us soon!
