Death Breath - Stinking Up The Night (2006)

Swedish band featuring ex members of Hellacopters, Entombed,' 'Stinking...' is a classic old school style of death thrash that combines the already mentioned chunky style of guitar riff made famous by Entombed, and the gurlged vocal attack of Autopsy, Ravenous and the like. This is refreshing in itsw morbidity,boosted by its zombie-infested promo for the three-minute title cut, complete with sexy bolnde being pursued by the undead. 'Cthulu Fhtagn' begins with a morose riff and leads to an oaken mid-section. This track is more of a garbled instrumental that relies on plodding atmosphere. 'Coffins Of The Embalmed Dead' is (un)pure Autopsy in its drull opening whilst 'Reduced To Ashes' quickens the pace with a solo that carves through bone like a hot laser. This is good stuff that revels in gory glory. If you like your metal old, creaky and stinking then Bad Breath could well be for the gore hound within you. 7/10
