release notes:
HEADHUNTER D.C. (D.C. standing for Death Cult) started out in 1986 as
TÚMULO before transforming into HEADHUNTER D.C. 'In Death Metal We Trust'
is the first digital single from the new album "Rise Of The Damned..."
and the last track on said album. The sixth full-length album in the
band's 40-year-old career. And in Death Metal HEADHUNTER D.C. trust, the
Brazilians led by Sérgio Baloff from the very beginning, with various
line-ups during the ages, have been churning out Death Metal from the
very proto Death Metal days in the late eighties, until today, where the
music has gotten a tad more approach and modern sound. I am a sucker for
the band's early material. The untamed wildness, the South American soul
and emotion, the days of experimenting in how far things could be taken,
within the context of brutal and slaying Death Metal built on glimpses of
Speed Metal, Thrash Metal, Heavy Metal and a "I don't give a fuck
attitude", and everything else boiled down, to create slaying Death
Metal. Every time HEADHUNTER D.C. is releasing new material, I have a
little hope for a return to dust, the good old untamed crazy wild days.
Though the music is maturing from release to release, the song writing
has been getting more thorough, the music more balanced, the production
more refined and tamed. That said, newer HEADHUNTER D.C. isn't bad at
all. There are still traces of the roots, there is some of the South
American madness left, hidden in a riff here and there, a vocal part gone
wild, and small parts of the songs here and there, running into a frenzy.
I reckon that the roots of old possess the recording occasionally, so we
still get a little glimpse of the untamed beast of the olden days. "Rise
Of The Damned..." is a tribute to the Death Metal way of living, a path
Sérgio and his co-hordes have been on for quite some years. I found the
early material quite defining for what Death Metal became, even though
the band didn't get the deserved recognition back then, and perhaps not
even now. This new album is more conform in the form of what Death Metal
became during the late '90s, with a little more modern melodic groove
added, into the intense attack we get on "Rise Of The Damned...". We get
a nice shake down of heavy and pummeling Death Metal, great guitar leads
and ripping riffs, Danilo Coimbra is a monster. A dark and gripping
atmosphere, a buffet of brutality and weighed ambience. In Death Metal We
Trust!
