Hailing from Connecticut and Massachusetts, Slow Death is the brand new sonic assault featuring Randy Larsen, former bassist and singer for noise rockers Cable and Empty Flowers, drummer Matt Spearin of Disapperer, guitarist Jeremy Medeiros, and bassist Jesse Sherman. In August of 2016, the band entered Dead Air Studios with Will Killingsworth (Vaccine, Orchid, Laceration, Ampere, Bucket Full Of Teeth) to track their first record which was recorded and mixed in just two days. Just as quickly as the record was recorded, Corpse Flower Records agreed to release the record as a one-sided 12" with a screen-printed B-side created by renowned illustrator Mark Rudolph (Carcass, Coalesce, Battlecross etc.). There may only be eight songs, clocking in at around eighteen minutes, but their mix of old punk and hardcore blended with some early noise rock is incredibly catchy and powerful. It is raw, it is cranked to the max, and the only thing wrong with it is that it is so damn short! Lyrically, the band centres its attention on old horror movies and serial killers, mixed with a sentiment of depression and frustration.
Given that they recorded this nearly a year ago, I can only hope that there is more material being worked on and that we are going to hear a full-length album from these guys soon, as this is a rough and ready style of metal that has a lot going for it.
