FLESHREAPER - Blue Skies Laced With Pesticide
Horror Pain Gore Death Productions
So when this band's first song started I had a flashback to the late 1990's. I saw a band like this once. I don't remember their name but the guitarist and bassist came from a punk rock n roll background. Their drummer was obviously a metalhead judging from the size of his kit and their singer wanted to be Chris Barnes. Throughout their long set, which was filled with guitar re-tuning and the singer introducing every single song. I stood their wondering were they serious or was it just an abortion gone wrong.
FLESHREAPER seem to have the smart ass snotty punk n roll meets death metal thing down pat. This Florida act has been around since 2014 and have a small release catalog to show for it. One of which, a split 7"er with the band VIOLATION WOUND from 2015, also came out on Horror Pain Gore Death Productions. See their band photo below, the guy wearing the Fuck You t-shirt looks like an old friend of mine. And he would wear a shirt like that because he was into GG, ANTISEEN, etc. Yeah just like me.
On this release FLESHREAPER just sound like they're having the greatest of all laughs. The band members have all been in extreme metal acts. Two members were/are from GENERICHIST, a Florida death metal act who also have a full length release on HPGD Productions. But on this one they're putting out short fast punk / hardcore songs with some deliberate death metal memes. Whether it's the vocals, which more than most are snotty 80's hardcore. The horror themed songs or the fuckin riffs which just remind me of crazy days from my past.
I'll just guess and say that your average punk rock fan in 2018 is clueless to Florida's 80's punk and HC scene, which by the way was very irreverent. I would love to play this for em even though they're probably snowflakes.
