Nunslaughter "Black" (Old Review)

Using the Internet Wayback Machine, I was able to cull a few of my old reviews on the old Ominous Vomit site for use here! Enjoy.


Nunslaughter Black

2010 Hells Headbangers

10/10 CRUSHED FUCKING SKULLS

By now, we know what to expect from this band, which happens to be my favorite band of all time.  Ripping.  Satanic.  Thrash.  They make no bones about the fact that they play death metal the old way, and simply write what they are good at - simple, catchy, blaspheming, two minute songs.  Since their rise to royalty in the underground, there have been quite a few acts that have tried to copy what they do, and invariably it sounds forced.  NunSlaughter never sounds forced.  This is honest music, written by metalheads for metalheads.  I bought this on CD and 7" EP when it came out, and I am pleased with both.  The black-on-black look of the packaging is awesome.  NunSlaughter always puts serious effort into their releases - most of them are flawlessly presented - and that commitment to quality makes it worth the hard earned dollars we NunSlaughter fans lay down for their music.  The 4 songs on this release are all great, but the standouts are "Yet the Odor Still Lingers" and "Grave Grave".  Excellent fuckin' tunes that are awesomely catchy, with lyrics growled with tongue firmly in cheek.  I love the pervasive sense of humor this band has about things - even when they are firmly offensive, it has an air of humor about it.  It's great stuff, and if you have not heard this band and had your face shredded by them, then you haven't heard real death metal yet.
