KRULLUR - Dead Live!
Horror Pain Gore Death Productions
This release brings back cool memories from my past. Not that it's about this particular band. Instead it's the live format which brings back times when I'd blast tapes of live shows which were either from locals or bands from other places. The key part is the band are playing to locals and the crowd appreciation is obviously noted.
So who we have here is KRULLUR a death grind band who hail from Texas and started out back in 1990. Career wise during the 1990's they put out a handful of short form releases (some demos and a split release). In 2001 they finally put out a full length, Open Ass Surgery, which came out on Facepeel Records. Unfortunately that would be the last sounds from these Texans for a while.
In 2013 the band did make a comeback with a six song EP, Grounds for Termination. Once again some time would pass till 2016 when Horror Pain Gore Death Productions released their seven song Failure To Comply EP. So here we are with a live album from the band. Actually it's original members Jay Langston on drums and Marty Langston who's their lead guitarist. They're joined by bassist Brian Lowden who joined the band in 2015. Finally there's Kirk who joined the band in 2019 and handles guitar and vocals.
This album was recorded in the band's home town of Houston Texas. Musically it's 1990's nostalgia death grind at it's best. The vocals have that snarling punk rock aesthetic while the riffs, heavy as fuck bass lines and drums are ripping metal. The guitar leads are dive bomb lighting bolts. They also include some covers in their set. There's "Musclehead" by NAPALM DEATH which I can see. But they also cover "Kill Ugly Pop" by LIP CREAM which was a surprise.
In the end this is a damm great release. I mean I wanna see this band kick ass in a small local club. I'm too fuckin old for the slam pit action which should commence. I'll just be the old guy on the side with a evil smile on his face. Yeah this fuckin rules!
