8/10 CRUSHED FUCKING SKULLS
A fairly new project from Argentina, this is the band's first EP, with one split and a demo coming before. The mainman of Abominablood is also the driving force behind this project, so I knew I had to check it out. Pure Massacre plays furious death metal in the ancient style with vocals that land somewhere between John Tardy and Martin Van Drunen stylistically. The music itself falls into the category of modern bands sounding like the 1990s again, but this is no weak attempt at nostalgia. This is the real death, death metal by death metal fans for death metal fans. The drumming helps this record stand out, having a perfect drum sound for this type of death metal. Standout track "In Life Melted" starts with one heavy fucking riff with a solo on top, before launching into a groove in the first verse. This is easily the best track on the record. "Altar of the Scum" manages to slow down and maintain interest, being heavy enough with enough hooks to keep my attention. This is an excellent introduction to this band's style, and I want to hear a full length next.
