| This is thick, punishing, bone-rattling death metal like the legendary bands of the late 80's to mid-90's played it. Certainly reverent, but not without their own identity, Gatecreeper, who formed in Arizona in 2013, pay appropriately violent homage to their forebears, while ringing in a new era of misery. The bitterness and groove found here will drag you through the dust of their sweltering desert home, and call upon the vast expanse of darkness above and below to quench your thirst. And the end result is a four song assault of riff-heavy odes to times past, and a glimpse of our bleak future, captured on wax. Mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege, and pressed at 45rpm. For fans of: Entombed, Gorguts, Trap Them, Dismember, Primitive Man. |
