NUNSLAUGHTER - red is the color of ripping death LP gold | ||||||||||||||
| NUNSLAUGHTER
require no introduction. Since 1987, these Ohio natives have
prolifically perfected their own brand of Devil Metal: an evil blend
of classic death metal and hardcore punk. And by "prolifically,"
NUNSLAUGHTER are likewise serious; their catalog of records released
rivals that of Japan's Sabbat and Agathocles, both of whom the band
have done splits with. Through it all, HELLS HEADBANGERS have been
diehard fans, and have released countless NUNSLAUGHTER records going
all the way back to the label's earliest days in 2003. And while
NUNSLAUGHTER are largely renown for being an EP band, any chance to
welcome a new full-length from them is cause for (devil metallish)
celebration: at long last, Red is the Color of Ripping Death, the
band's first album in seven years. Many are still mourning the loss of
legendary drummer Jim Sadist (RIP), and while Red is the Color of
Ripping Death is their first full-length without him playing on it,
some of the 14 songs contained herein are unfinished / unrealized
music that Jim and founding frontman Don of the Dead wrote years ago.
Just as importantly, this album comprises material newly written with
NUNSLAUGHTER's current lineup, which is arguably the band's best to
date. And hearing is believing: over the course of the album's 35
minutes, it becomes immediately apparent that NUNSLAUGHTER are a
really good - and really ripping - DEATH METAL band above all. Largely
gone (or least sublimated) is the hardcore punk influence, and in its
place is an absolutely furious onslaught of catchiness and
causticness. Armed with the best-sounding production on a NUNSLAUGHTER
record ever, not to mention Don of the Dead reaching new
heights/depths of maniacal perversity, Red is the Color Ripping Death
truly brings the band to a different level of Devil Metal. LIMITED
