MP3: Death Breath - Morbid mind

Almost every review of Death Breath that I've read so far seems entirely too preoccupied with how they compare to some other classic death-metal throwback. Who cares? All that matters is that "Stinking up the night" rips! It's by no means a life-changing classic, but that was never the point. The story: Nicke Andersson (The Hellacopters, ex-Entombed) was inspired by Decibel magazine editor Albert Mudrian's book "Choosing death: The improbable history of death metal and grindcore" and decided to explore his roots. It harkens back to a time when death-metal meant bands like Autopsy or Possessed, before Entombed made their mark on the scene. The horror of the lyrics is kitchsy, like an old b-movie. It's meant to be fun, not scary. Death Breath is pure nostalgia, but it's also more than a few old, tired dudes trying to relive their youth. They recapture the energy and vitality of those early days and I love it.

Death Breath - Morbid mind

DigitalMetal has the press release for a new Death Breath EP due out next spring: http://www.digitalmetal.com/news.asp?cid=7914
I've been listening to the album "Stinking up the night" a lot recently and look forward to more material. It's good to hear death-metal that harkens back to the day when the genre was more fun.

Death Breath's video for their namesake song is now online: http://www.deathbreath.se/site/death_breath_video.asp
Death Breath is the old-school death-metal revival act of Nicke Andersson (Hellacopters, ex-Entombed). As for the clip, the ending is kinda meh, but the concept is hot.

DigitalMetal reviews Death Breath: http://www.digitalmetal.com/reviews.asp?cid=7818
I'm still waiting for my copy of the CD to show up. Like this review says, I don't expect it to be amazing, but I suspect it will be a fun throwback to the old days.

Bassist Magnus Hedquist has left Death Breath for undisclosed reasons. Erik Wallin (Harms Way, Merciless) will be filling in at the band's upcoming shows and Scott Carlson (Repulsion) will be doing vo-kills.
