Retributions for the Dead : Chainsaw through carnage...

I'm just turned up myself to open up the email after long error multi connections and the coffin-sites look horrifying and terrifying enough after almost a few months without a new updates. The (sun)lights look really brights when I click and read up a message that coming from Sean Benson. A ugly man beyond the creation of BOETHIAH, the California "chainsaw" dirty Death Metal bastards! 

BOETHIAH reveal their self-titled EP few month ago after the broken chaos of "Agents of the Dawn" back in 2014 and guess what? This is my first time know about their existences, better late than rotting forever! The bell of death just opened up the gloomy and ugly dark atmosphere from the EP, it's really great intro on "Invocation of the Xenolith", crunchy riffs and melodeath as fvck! The music style that they did firmly crushed back what happen in Sweden underground scene back in early 90's. And I'm sure all the Entombed, Dismember,Grave fans surely will loved what  BOETHIAH doing!  



Anything that I need seek for, the EP just deranged in very short of times and it's also featured a cover song from Grave ; In Love. The production of the EP just heavy and kept the pouring of BOSS Heavy Metal-2 pedal monstrous through the expeditions on the EP. Loved the stench smell from this pedal!

Sean's voices was a vile and growl enough on the song and it's really fits onto the harmonies between the riff's guitar that fill up the structure with the beat beyond Derek's seats. It's just trailing the undead with dirty
Californian chainsaw of death!
and buzz productions. With Sean and Derek combination, they just put doses "massive 'killing' capacity" of Death Metal on the EP and to be cruel and nothing to be left-over, the dirty and rotting chainsaw tones always the good one to be heard! The time I writing this review, the band already unleashed their debut album "Invocation Of The Xenolith". Just check it's out for your dirty and rotting "buzz" chainsaw mind!

Chainsaw of Death

Retribution for the Dead : World... (slowly rotten) and unraveled in putrefaction ways!

Something festering and malky around California-DM underground scene, the putrid process of rotting cadaver can be smell over the miles way. Unlike the other place from US, California are like a forgotten tombs for some of us, (maybe I also) and the dead can walk free among the corpses, eaten the human flesh, been buried, decompose and (carnal) leftover for thousand of years. Sometimes, it's really interesting to know a band that nailed from this rotten places. 

+ + 

DRAGHKAR was unbounde(a)d and repugnancy by BW (Guitar/Vocals) and AK (Drums). And without any long decaying, DRAGHKAR completed all the recording-putrid process in January, 2017 for the first attempt into the ground of madness. 


World... (slowly rotten) and unraveled 
"World Unraveled" demo successful delivered a reek of stench-decay guitar riffs tones, classick "stinky" beat-blasting, drowned-hellish growl-howling and followed by the rawness of stink atmosphere from the sound producing, which I think Derek Orthener and Andrew Lee totally lost their head (idea) for the invocation of DRAGHKAR first demo. The final result in "World Unraveled" demo totally slicing my ears!

The "Autopsy" feels can't be hide through the opening tracks from the demo. The combination between heavy-groove riffing, fast and (slowly-we-rot) tempo and accompany by the flesh ripping atmosphere, quickly make this tracks one of my favourites. "World Unraveled" demo also contained alot of creative idea in terms of the song-writing and decomposition. It's actually a examples how old stuff of Death Metal can be recycle and wrote it's agains with our styles and put it's in a stinky-cemetery with our own flavor. DRAGHKAR also featured a alot of thing from the characteristic of instrument-handle section. This is the best answer why Death Metal can be sounded more sick interesting and putrid when you take care yours instrument and always keeping it's out without a "mamstein" solo guitar! Ha! DRAGHKAR already proved the external way of Death Metal should sounded and played in "World Unraveled" demo. All the songs from the demo immediately showed and proved, DRAGHKAR are the last rotten missing puzzle-pieces for you to put it's back in Death Metal boards in terms of ugly and rotting decompose. 

Without long explanation, the band swallowed the high passion and loved to music what they played. DRAGHKAR played almost 10 + + minutes contained of most solid sound of Old School Death Metal in putrefaction ways and reveled by the classick sound of Finnish DM and can caught your ears and slowly make you drowned into nowhere in final mixtures of "World Unraveled" demo! Still a thousand rotting miles to go, hopefully the band will be successive and delivering a tons of sick and rotting stuff in the future. 

I think Jerasak from Witchhammer Production already done a good job to released a rotten-sick Death Metal stuff to us. Support the Death Metal-underground scenes! 

Feel free to drop by into DRAGHKAR-coffintombs and got yours ear exploded and purulent by the rotten sound of Death Metal!! 


Critical Madness : Mortuous "Demo 2012" demo tape



Crawling from the city of dead, California(c), this US filthy death metal is very underrated squad of death for me. In terms of raw and heavy sound production, mix with gloomy and rotten morbid atmosphere is give a very huge impact to all tracks from this demo. If you already listen to "Mors Immortalis" their debut demo when Colin Tarvin blast-heavy-death all the intrusment and created the heavy death metal sound alone, the second demo probably the most complete soul deranged from Colin Tarvin and his new recruit into the bands. The package into the darkness unbound perfectly been unleash on 6 tracks from the second demos. The sickos voc by AL, the simple death beat by Col Jones and follow up by crunchy, chainsaw and heavy tones of sound guitar by Colin Tarvin and Mike give the fresh death-breath all the heavy tracks on this demos. The formula of fast/grinding and slowly riff tempo probably the best ever combination in old school death metal flavor! Freshly from the grave, tracks like "The eternal return" opened in doomier mode before the flavor of Swedish buzzsaw trademark appear. The 2nd demo also already re-issue almost two times (correct me if Im wrong) either in other format, tape or vinyl. The one comes into my necro-collection are from Unholy Domain recs in white tape and vinyl released by Dawnbreed recs. Its such great collection to fill up your old dodsmetal tastes. Dead heavy! Dead Evil! Death Metal!
