Raw Atmospheric Old School Death Metal spewed forth from
the ancient crypts of Romania.
The long-awaited 2nd full-length by this Romanian band.
This putrid ensemble was formed in Bucharest back in
2014 as an old-school Death Metal side-project to the
experimental doom/noise/stoner-improv band Keeng Ra'at:
both bands contained the same three members. By 2015,
five songs were written, and recordings began in
December of that year. Ultimately, six songs (plus intro
and outro) came out in April 2016 as the "Unfazed by
Death" demo, which turned out to be a remarkable, sick
trip into the bowels of murky and foul-smelling Death
Metal. In the meantime, another guitarist joined the
band, and the original bassist left and rejoined later
on. The original drummer and vocalist also left the band
in August of that year, and another drummer then joined,
while the vocals have been henceforth handled by the
original guitarist. With that lineup thus set, Rotheads
burst from the bowels of the ugliest underground with
their aptly-fucking-titled debut album, "Sewer Fiends",
for Memento Mori in 2018. Unyielding and unapologetic,
Rotheads took their aggregate influences -particularly
from the classic early 90's Finnish scene (Convulse,
Abhorrence/Amorphis, Sentenced, Demigod, Depravity), as
well as other timeless crypt dwellers such as Autopsy,
Gorement, Edge of Sanity, Accidental Suicide, Incubator
and Asphyx- and proceeded to create a mesmerizingly
murky and moody work with their debut album. The sewage
was piled high and plentifully, and true diehards took
notice. And still the sewers call! A four-way split with
Vorus, Engrossed and Eruptive followed a year later, but
the sewers of the soul that pollute Rotheads continued
to pulse, patiently lying in wait for the right time to
strike. And strike they do with their sophomore
full-length, "Slither in Slime"! Another
aptly-fucking-titled album, "Slither in Slime"
immediately sounds like Rotheads, but something strange
-something altogether unwholesome and even otherworldly-
is at work here. While no doubt as crushing as ever,
there's a cool/calm/collected execution to the album
that creates tension and unease, allowing those same
foul and fetid riffs to wash over you with filthier
effect, and something approaching "atmosphere" results.
Patient? Yes, but the payoff is even grander, as a
swirling creepiness seduces even the most closeminded
death metaller. We could also say that "Slither in
Slime" is catchy as fuck, but that should be apparent to
anyone who dares to step into Rotheads' newest sewer.
Simply massive? You fucking bet! Graced with
appropriately stark cover art courtesy of M├╢rtuus, and
suitably tendrilous mastering courtesy of Ted Tringo,
Rotheads have eclipsed the lofty standards set by their
debut: you are hereby commanded to Slither in Slime!
