EX DEMENTIA (Usa) Thou shall repulse CD'07. KITCHEN VOMIT Recs.

ZOMBIFY ME!!!
PUSFILLED BODYBAG MADNESS, FEASTERGORE IN THE SEWER, MINCED MEAT RESURRECTION!
This time you have old school US Gore Death metal that kinda sounds like old NECROPHAGIA (1st album), with some old AUTOPSY/ ABSCESS (Gory vocals), some early DEATH/ MASSACRE with a bit of old IMPETIGO or even DR SHRINKER. Oooohhh, it sounds like an unexpected mixture to escape the so oftenly raped doors from our beloved coffin of metallic sins! It's not the usual necro old school mournance; What they choose to play is a bit more fun and no so dead-serious! There's some kind of 3rd degree/ B movies humor that wouldn't make them displaced on RAZORBACK Recs, but the music doesn't seem to be at the right level of entertainment yet.
The production would have been considered good 15 years ago: No trig, no overdub, no inhuman production... This is the natural sound and it tastes quite cool.
Now, on a musical point of view my feelings are mixed: Some riffs are too generic and usual to brand my brain or stop the brainstorm of daily life. Ok some fast, heavy or impact riffs are cool, but some guitars could be improved a way or another to match more morbid vibration. And the drum playing is a bit too simple in some fast parts.
The vocals are great in the style; And it helps to cover the riffs that do not shake the coffin and keeps the whole entertaining... So if you don't storm your brain too much, you might dig the whole as if the doors of the tomb were wide opened and welcoming ;-)
I would be quite necro-appealed to see them live with beers in the guts. Old school gory death fans, keep an eye on them, coz future improvements might kick your face a zombifying way... For now EX DEMENTIA is just a cool/ average and quite entertaining band... HOT FOR ZOMBIES!!!
