Ha, Death Vomit, what a name, and what artwork to go with it. The back is really cool, with a great way of incorporating the track titles with the artwork; as bloody writing on a hospital wall. This self-titled CD was originally released in 1993 by Metal Agen, but has now been re-released by Tunes of Torture.
I hadn�t heard of the band before, so it was all new to me. And what a raw old school thrashing death metal blast it is. I wouldn�t have doubted it if anyone had said that it was recorded ten years earlier to the original release, �cause it has such an unrelenting old school feeling. The production�s crude and harsh, and in a good way, which just enhances the brutal atmosphere. I wouldn�t be surprised if Venom stood for some influences here (although they don�t sound even close to eachother), in a sort of semi-simplistic, yet hard-hitting manner. The screeching, distorted riffing, the pummeling bass and the pounding drums � it all leads up to a seriously arse-shredding album, with the inevitable result of you, as a listener, stomping, headbanging and air-guitaring along.
Very energetic, spastic music, and with a brutal-as-hell vocalist. Fans of Throneum should definitely check this out.
