MP3: Mr. Death - Death vs. the living dead
After countless hours/days/weeks of endlessly mediocre promo records, I need a palate cleanser and nothing seems to work better for that than stuff like this, old-school death metal played by old-school death metallers. Mr. Death features ex-members from Treblinka, Tiamat and Expulsion and they sound exactly like you'd expect and just the way I like it: filthy and rotten. And fun, something that modern bands often seem to forget. Who says brutal metal can't make you smile?
