DEADSPEAK
No Respect. Neither For Living Nor For The Dead
(Monomaniax Productions)
07:34min

“No Respect. Neither For Living Nor For The Dead”, this is the name of the lastest release DEADSPEAK is putting on the table, now on cassette via Monomaniax Productions. An EP that firmly anchors itself in the violent, old school traditions of Death Metal. At just under eight minutes, this concise release delivers a very solid Death Metal. The EP features two tracks, ‘No Respect. Neither For Living Nor For The Dead’ and ‘Soul-O-Suction’, each perfectly encapsulating the band’s raw, ’90s inspired Death Metal sound. True to their previous efforts, DEADSPEAK maintains their sound heavy, fast and to the point. The riffs are steeped in a murky, almost claustrophobic atmosphere, with a pace that veers between blistering speed and oppressive heaviness, invoking the spirit of Death Metal’s early days. This EP, much like their past releases, feels like a nod to the genre’s foundational bands, bringing to mind the classic sounds of the old school spirit. I found their sound influenced (perhaps) by bands like NECROPHOBIC (Sweden), EDGE OF SANITY or SINISTER (Netherlands). Despite its brevity, the EP leaves a lasting impact. The production is appropriately raw, with each instrument cutting through the mix with clarity, yet retaining an organic, underground feel. DEADSPEAK doesn’t shy away from aggression and intensity. Latex (just like on their previous releases) is representing the core of the EP with his vocals, while Krakus is bringing back to life his guitars with the perfect sound, style and equilibrium. This two-piece Death Metal act named DEADSPEAK is definitely paying homage to the genre’s roots while carving out their own space within it. If you’re in search of old school, no-nonsense Death Metal that recalls the spirit of the ’90s, “No Respect. Neither For Living Nor For The Dead” is a must-listen. I really enjoyed this short but robust Death Metal stone. More info here: www.facebook.com/deadspeak666
