DETERIOROT - The Rebirth
Xtreem Music
Back in 2010 we had the rebirth of bands doing the whole old school death metal revival thing. It was cool I loved it and I've got a shitload of CDs and vinyl from it. But here we are in 2023 and now the whole old school thing is more like an afterbirth. I mean it's cool to hear younger musicians repeating what was done before. But it's also cool to hear about bands who actually started out back in the day, never got their due but are back to kick some ass.
Case in point DETERIOROT a band who started out in 1992. Yes that's fuckin right, over 20 fuckin years ago when you were still sucking yer mommy's tits. But they didn't put out a full length until 2001's In Ancient Beliefs. Nine years later they put out their follow up The Faithless. And now, after thirteen years, we have their third full length The Rebirth.
The band's only original member is guitarist / vocalist Paul Zavaleta. This guy started out in Paterson, New Jersey which was a shithole in the late 70's from my recollection. I lived in Fairview, NJ in the 70's. It probably got worse in the fuckin 90's. Now he is in Charlotte, North Carolina which probably still reminds him of Jersey to a point but with different food.
Be that as it may Paul Zavaleta hooked up with some other musicians in the past few years who like the old stuff and this is the fuckin rebirth of DETERIOROT. Now I know a couple of bands who started out in the 90's and never got where they wanted to go. But in the latter 2000's they revived themselves and sound damm good. DETERIOROT is doing just that and sound fantastic.
Yes this is old school death metal which comes across like an past undiscovered gem. Musically this is a cross between INCANTATION meets DISMEMBER meets CIANIDE in a dark alley and all hell breaks loose. For someone like me it's a hell fuckin yeah. I mean the tone of the riffs are damm cool. The soloing is fluid at certain times and lighting bolts at others. And of course the vocals are ghastly. I mean this is one of the best death metal albums of 2023 which should've come out in 1992.
