ZOMBIESLUT - Massive Lethal Flesh Recovery
Label - Zombification Media
Released - 2016
Ya know I remember six or seven years ago when the whole New School of Old School Death Metal revival started. First you had these young Swedes reworking old riffs from bands like MERCILESS, NIHILIST and GRAVE. Don't get me wrong, I loved every bit of it. Then here in the states you had equally sick and twisted youths re-doing old AUTOPSY and INCANTATION. It was two good years of death doom mania up until the mainstream discovered what was happening and well history repeated itself. By 2012 it was like wow this band sounds exactly like a Left Hand Path/Into The Grave tribute band. Nowadays you can't swing a dead hipster at a Guitar Center store without hitting a guitarist looking for the right pedals to give him that "old school sound dude".
I say that with an air of disgust since I've endured this release by Germany's ZOMBIESLUT for what seems like an eternity but it's really only been a day. Ya know if you're really into extreme metal and a band comes along with the name ZOMBIESLUT, you pretty much know what to expect. In all honesty I was thinking porno grind or at least these Germans were the unintended offspring of the guys from MORTICIAN or INFERNAL TORMENT. I was wrong. This ep is basically old school death metal which is cool but there's nothing that stands out or apart from a third rate demo from 1987. Also there's the one missing ingredient, an insane spine ripping guitar solo in any of their songs. I mean whatafuck do these guys play weddings?
Massive Lethal Flesh Recovery is basically a teaser ep for their forthcoming third full length, Death Propaganda. You have six cuts, two are new and four are re-recorded tracks from the band's debut lp, Braineater from 2010. A teaser, are you kidding me? Hell listening to this I feel like I'm in an elevator with this playing over head. I'm tapping the husky receptionist in front of me to please push a button, any button. I just wanna get out and fuck it I'll take the damm stairs. Hopefully this is throwaway tracks and their new one rips a little better.
Rating - 2/5
