Caveman Cult - Blood and Extinction
USA
Nuclear War Now!
Chaos reigns supreme on Caveman Cult's latest full-length, entitled "Blood and Extinction", released via Nuclear War Now!
On
the band's latest album, we are presented with nine tracks of
decidedly violent, bestial black/death informed by bands such as
Bestial Warlust, Conqueror and Blasphemy,
while also blending
hardcore punk elements into their sound.
These
cavemen manage to achieve a really abrasive sound, as they belch out
a torrent of profoundly savage riffs, eminently harsh vocals, as well
as chaotic and cavernous drumming that never lets up – all this
combined will leave you with bleeding ears, including their penchant
for fast and ripping solos, showing their adoration for this style.
The
sound of Caveman Cult can easily be distinguished from other
bands in this genre due to their rhythmic percussion and signature
tempo changes. They also sound considerably more vitriolic than most
bands who attempt this style, including the fact that the songs are
rather direct, as they eschew anything remotely filler, which makes
this a profoundly savage release reminiscent of a band like
Conqueror. Moreover, they even employ Conqueror-esque riffs,
which are done so well, and not to mention absolutely crushing and
heavy as fuck. The production on this release is quite raw, but not
in an unintelligible way. It’s actually perfect for this style and
really brings out the best sound possible for the band.
As
each track storms in and rages with unholy
vengeance,
the next track follows with a similar intensity.
There's enough variety and depth to
the music to warrant repeated listens. Anyone into vicious, bestial
black/death,
or war metal that's executed with absolute inexorable
rage
will fucking
love
this release. Recommended to fans of Abysmal
Lord,
Invultation,
and Deiphago.
