SLAMSEASON vol III 2009 CD Coyote Records Argh! Next massacre under the banner of SLAMSEASON! This time all much killer than last time. Last time there were grindcore bands, and now there are brutal death ones, and all of them are very good! So, First comes Greek MORTAL TORMENT, with 3 pretty tasty, memorable and just killer brutal death metal hymns. Music is made in old way, without any modern sweet touches and melodies. Consisting with such vortex-like guitar riffs, massive drumming, horror atmosphere and pretty good growl, made by nice girl Rita (yeah, last time we can see tons of bands with “frontwoman”, he-he). All in all their music is made on good level, starting with good technical skills and ending with just pretty catching stuff… These 3 songs will be often guest there in your stereo! Next are Russian SUFFERATORY, which are show to the world how they can create sick music! If you didn't heard them still, then you should know that SUFFERATORY's musick is also brutal death metal, made in common and old-school way. Filled with tight rhythm-section, good drumming and dense bass lines! Made in various tempos, and with excellent sickest slowdowns they will be good for your brutal ears too! Next, DEMISE from Philippines , with its 2 tracks of good old-school brutal death metal. Here's “reach” musick too, made in sick and dense way. Be prepared for blasting drumming, cutting guitar riffs and power growls. Also I like a lot their ala old CANNIBAL CORPSE sick guitar solos, which forced to bang your head! Also CANNIBAL CORPSE was remembered due DEMISE music is highly inspired by these beasts, no, they aren't copying CC, they just playing in their way, and made very well! And the last band is UNBURIED from USA . Coming with its 4 short tracks made in brutal death grind way. Their music isn't bad too, made with really sickest attitude! Don't wait for something new or progressive from this horde, but be prepared just for pure chaotic and sick massacre, which you'll like if you are into such MORTICIAN, IMPETIGO, CARCASS etc… All in all he split is more than highly recommended for all sick minds! 4/5 Contact (MT): mortaltorment@hotmail.com, www.mortaltorment.com Contact (S): sufferatory@mail.ru, www.myspace.com/sufferatory Contact (D): www.myspace.com/demise Contact (U): UNBURIED, 849 Sundance Mountain Road , New Market , VA , 22070 , USA / unburied2002@yahoo.com, www.myspace.com/unburieddeathmetal

Unburied + Seeking Obscure

Split CD

Metalbolic Records, 2006

This is a group effort to get the music of two bands out to the public, not a bad idea and yet not an original idea either.  But still, truly well worth the time to check out.

I think that the cd must have been sitting around the Metal Storm den of operations for some time, otherwise the record company sent a dated disk.  Normally, I would forego reviewing a collection of music that could already be nearly three years old but after hearing a few songs, I could not pass this up.

Take a journey with me and think back to the first time you heard something as black as Venom, Sadus, Cannibal Corpse…you know where I am going.  You put your stereo on in your room and after hearing it, you had to look behind you a few times to make sure that you weren't playing the soundtrack to your own execution…is it just me or is Unburied like an evil underground superhero for the criminally insane and gore-hungry murderers?  wtf?!?  Give Unburied a listen to fully understand what I mean, especially the song 'End it With a Knife'.  But, go to their MySpace page as I did to hear the full band and their newer material. Their fanbase loves them and constantly leave messages begging for more.  Listen to 'Slut Decapitator' the title track to their latest release.  Truly, it is a cure for sanity!

Truly, this release doesn't come close to what I encountered on both bands sites.  Not to say that the Split CD sucks, it is just that for as talented as these guys are, this cd was done when there was only two guys in the band (Matt Pike and Mark Riddick) and a drum machine.  But I will give it to them and say that what they did on the disk is very well done.  Unburied is a great example of underground death/black metal insanity.  But be advised, this is not for the weak.

Birthed into the darkness of Sheridan, Wyoming is the one-man death metal effort of Seeking Obscure.  Rob Luckie is destined for a padded room for creating such dark music.  Rob handles all vocals, drums (real) guitar, 6-string bass and added keyboard effects…and handles each pretty damn good. 

On the split disk 'Hybrid Artillery' and the Cancer cover of 'Die! Die!' shine the blackest luminosity into the darkest corners of your worse fears.  But take a visit to his MySpace page gives way to the recent material of his twisted thoughts. 

Overall, thanks to this split cd, I will soon have in my possession both band's newest stuff.  So I guess Metalbolic Records accomplished what they set out to do.
