CARTILAGE - The Deader the Better review


 

CARTILAGE - The Deader the Better

Creator Destructor Records


Well the West Coast already has one premiere death grind act in EXHUMED. So I guess you can say that CARTILAGE are part of the extended family. This is the second album by this San Fran five piece act. There's eleven cuts on here. Personally I could've done without the techno intro. But they end the release with an IMPETIGO cover "Boneyard". So there you go.


Now with that said CARTILAGE do bring a raw savage style to the sub genre, aka: old school sounding. Sure the EXHUMED and CARCASS influences are here but they're not applying them completely. Instead of going for your throat this band wants to appeal to your sick senses. I like that kind of stuff.


So when you get songs like "Mallet Wielding Maniac", "Axe Scratcher" and "Slaughter Day at the Chopping Mall" ya wonder if they're laughing their asses off when recording. Musically the songs are all sick short sharp shockers with a mix of gruff and venomous vocals. So it's a fun sounding release for your typical sick minded dark humor loving maniac.
