Dry Cough Records are a label who have made a great name
for themselves by bringing forth some wonderful Death
Metal demo releases over the last few years, and are set
to do so again this month with the debut release from UK
death metal outfit, Mutagenic Host. A five-piece with
members hailing from around the globe, from places such
as the US and Finland, but housed in the carcinogenic
fumes of London. Dry Cough Records have unleashed this
noxious new offering as always on a the wonderful format
of cassette.
Intro track 'Mutagen' is quick to cast an aura of fear
and dread with dark synth tones and an audio sample from
the third Exorcist film, (In which Kinderman played by
George C Scott angrily declares "This I believe in... I
believe in death. I believe in disease. I believe in
injustice and inhumanity, torture and anger and hate...
I believe in murder. I believe in pain. I believe in
cruelty and infidelity. I believe in slime and stink and
every crawling, putrid thing... every possible ugliness
and corruption, you son of a bitch. I believe... in
you.") before the slow chugging riffs and booking drum
tones of 'March of Pestilence' ring out in the gloom.
Mutagenic Host create slow, deliberate Death Metal that
gives off an oppressive stink of death, decay and
disease. The vocals of Ash Moore are feral growls that
promise violence and horror, whilst the methodical skin
bashing from George Kinsella-Pearn really direct the
flow and cohesion of this demo, though they often
devolve into a putrid mass of violent ferocity! Bassist
Dan Bulford keeps up a punishing rumbling bass tone
throughout whilst guitarists Jack Thompson & Sami
Tuohino both add thick meaty layers of pestilential
riffs in a thuggish, savage manner.
'The Genotoxic Demo' is a barbaric and crushing debut
from Mutagenic Host; a band who are a welcome addition
to the dysfunctional new wave of British Death Metal
bands that have taken over these isles in a new and
glorious reign of sickness and brutality!
