MURDER SQUAD - ravenous murderous CD | ||||||||||||||
| In 2001 Death
Metal had been in steady decline for many years. The genre once
gloriously notorious for stillbirthing some of the vilest filth
imaginable had been watered down by harmlessness and mediocrity. It
was exactly at this time that MURDER SQUAD breathed much-needed foul
air into a scene so desperately lacking dirt and danger. Spawned by
members of some of the most revered Swedish Death Metal bands
(ENTOMBED, DISMEMBER, MERCILESS etc.) and driven by their shared
passion for intoxication and, above all, American Death Metal band
AUTOPSY, the four Swedes would go on to vomit forth two full-lengths
and one EP before withdrawing into the nasty hole they crawled out
from. Again, adorned by a disgustingly beautiful cover by the late
Timo Ketola, MURDER SQUADs second album, Ravenous Murderous, from
2003 still has AUTOPSY-worship written all over it. But while the
predecessor was literally made up of riffs that were almost identical
or at least very similar to the ones found in AUTOPSY tracks, Ravenous
Murderous feels more like an unreleased AUTOPSY album than a different
band paying tribute to AUTOPSY. This time around MURDER SQUAD have
even been supported in the studio by legendary Chris Reifert of
AUTOPSY himself contributing vocals, guitars and drums. These joined
efforts resulted in a very dark Death Metal album coming with
pleasantly politically incorrect lyrics certain to upset todays
moral police. Tracks:
