CANNABIS CORPSE - Nug So Vile
Season of Mist
After thirteen years and with this one counting six full lengths let alone a couple of short form releases. You would think that maybe their pot head meets old school death metal shtick would burn out. I don't think so. Nug So Vile, which is a parody of CRYPTOPSY's None So Vile album (to those of you ignorant) is the next progression of which I knew they were going to turn to.
Now I'm not saying they were going this slightly more tech death way via that band's album. I was just guessing that they were gonna move further up the latter in order to be relevant. Frankly I'll still say they're 2014 release, From Wisdom to Baked, was a milestone. But then 2017's Left Hand Pass surpassed that one. But here we have something completely unique and different.
Obviously one standout to this album is new guitarist Adam Guilliams. He adds a lot of definite old school tech death guitar touches as well as damm good riffs which blow you the fuck away. Add to that Josh Hall's maniacal and thread weaving drum work. The whole Guilliams and Hall combination is like excitement city being surgically torn down piece by piece.
Of course lastly you have Phil Landphil's vocals which still balance out between Chris Barnes and CorpseGrider of CANNIBAL CORPSE. As always I'll listen to some great death metal albums of the year which carry plenty of old school influence. And then you hear this and go ah whatafuck this is so fucking cool.
