5/10 CRUSHED FUCKING SKULLS
This is a half death metal, half goregrind monstrosity from members hailing from Australia and the US. The drums are programmed but done extremely skillfully, and if you didn't know it, you'd be hard-pressed to determine whether they were real or not. The songs alternate between groove and blast, with rather simplistic riffs with a badass guitar tone and a fuzzed out bass sound. This is all fine, except there's not a lot of variation in their songwriting, and the songwriting formula they're using wears its welcome out pretty quickly. The horror movie samples are good and thankfully shorter than on some Mortician releases. In my mind, Mortician is the only band allowed to bore the shit out of me with three minute samples of horror movies. I'm glad this band kept them brief. It's safe to say that unless you really love horror movie metal, you can go ahead and skip this, because it's definitely been done before. But, hey, your mileage may vary.
