Southern Drinkstruction - Vultures Of The Black River
This is Death ‘n’ roll from Italy, although I would say they have a fair few more influences on display than purely death ‘n’ roll in all honestly, it is a fun release filled with surprises, death meets NOLA!
‘Ass Parking Bitch’ is one worth checking out on YouTube, I guess not on your work login though, that aside, this refreshes the parts that the filth cannot get too. With an almost ‘Blackout’ intro riff mixing with a death groove. ‘Back To Kill You’ is a touch more low end, groovier with an ambience of the guitars none too different to mid period Arch Enemy and even Dark Tranquility. ‘Out For Blood’ is almost a party tune, its sounds fun, serious, but fun. I suppose if the snare drum had a little more depth in tone, this would also change the dimension of the band also. As you may find it could be heavier, but hell, I don’t know what it is, it’s an album I can’t stop playing.
Each play though, you’ll take a little something different away, and clearly, they are not a joke band certainly in their musicianship, there may be humour a-foot in the lyrics (‘Goatboy’ for example), the artwork doesn’t categorise the releases either and I challenge you to pigeonhole their music definitively. Whilst not truly a thinking man’s release, you don’t need too, what you have here is excitement, variation and strength of character amongst the songwriters. One of the most varied releases I have heard in a while, but quite enjoyable.
