Oregon-based death metal band Witch Vomit announced their presence in the underground last year with their full-length album ‘A Scream From The Tomb Below’. It attracted the attention of 20 Buck Spin, who signed them to release this nineteen-minute-long mini album, which features an introduction plus four full-length numbers.
What we have here is a real mix of deathgrind with Scandinavian raw black metal to create something that will appeal to fans of both genres. They often start the songs at a relatively slow speed, but they certainly know how to pick up the pace and create something that is blasting along. It is rough and ready, with no attempt to polish, but the guys are incredibly tight with some great twin guitars, and it was somewhat of a surprise for me when I checked out their Facebook page and saw that they are a trio.
Guitarist TT also provides the vocals, and he is accomplished on both. The album takes me back to the early days of death metal, when tapes were the only way to go, and it will be interesting to see where they go from here as I am sure that this is not the last we have heard of them. This is for fans of Autopsy and Cannibal Corpse, and to check it out visit the label site at https://www.20buckspin.com
