RESPAWN THE PLAGUE
Gathering Of The Unholy Ones
(Terror From Hell Records)
8:14min

Greece as its own country, has shown its sharp and hungry claws countless times as far as the country’s potentiality for churning out some killer Metal acts is concerned. RESPAWN THE PLAGUE that was started in 2005, plays Death Metal of the most murky and darkest kind, following the same traces that especially such US Death Metal hordes as IMMOLATION and MORBID ANGEL have been following successfully for many years already. They have clearly borrowed some of the best and most striking elements from those 2 aforementioned Death Metal entities, and incorporated them into their own, very uncompromising, tight and not forgiving sound. Both songs, ‘Drowned In Sin’ and ‘Of Tongueless And Blind’ stay true to form, blending some of the most important ingredients why Death Metal can be called Death Metal in the very first place. This is fuckin’ mean, heavy and dark shit from start to finish – churned out with some amazing breakdowns, limb-heavy riffs and lotsa capturing atmosphere. Surely one of the most positive surprises in the recent years regarding the vast worldwide field for Death Metal in particular. This was released on UK’s underground Death Metal label Me Saco Un Ojo Records in 2013 as a 7" EP – as well as on Italian Terror From Hell Records as a limited run of 160 hand-numbered tapes only. If I was, I would act fast to obtain a copy of either the 7" release or tape. RESPAWN THE PLAGUE can be spotted at: www.facebook.com/respawntheplague, label: www.elektroplasmamusik.eu
