NUNSLAUGHTER - Red is the Color of Ripping Death
Hells Headbangers Records
It's been quite a few years since NUNSLAUGHTER's last full length release Angelic Dread. Of course there's an obvious reason. With the passing of their long time drummer Jim Sadist back in October 2015. The band was put on hold but vocalist Don of the Dead vowed that they would continue. And as you know, if you're a fan, for the past few years there's been a ton of releases (aka: Splits, EPs, Comps and Live albums). But they haven't released a full length until now.
Now just to set the record straight I considered 2014's Angelic Dread to be NUNSLAUGHTER's best full length ever. So coming into this was interesting to say the least. You've got Don on vocals and Tormentor still on guitars. But now you've got new people like Wrath on drums who came on board in 2016. And last but not least is new bassist Detonate who joined in 2019.
So the simple fact that I love NUNSLAUGHTER had to be put aside. And even with that in mind I like this album a lot. The bad production days are over with when it comes to NUNSLAUGHTER. Don of the Dead is all for quality when it comes to invoking his utter disgust. Sure the songs on here are on par with the band's fast and furious stance. But the longer cuts of the fourteen are amazing.
Yes it's their same death thrash attack going on here. Sure it's death metal as their genre tagline goes. But I've considered their face peeling riffs and drum speed to be that of a thrashy nature. After multiple listens I'm happy to say Red is the Color of Ripping Death is my second favorite album by em. The title cut is a new NUNSLAUGHTER classic in my not so humble opinion. After that you've got a cool mix of face rippers which you expect but other cuts convey some sinister atmosphere.
