After countless hours/days/weeks of endlessly medIocre promo records, I need a palate cleanser and nothIng seems to work better for that than stuff lIke thIs, old-school death metal played by old-school death metallers. Mr. Death features ex-members from TreblInka, TIamat and ExpulsIon and they sound exactly lIke you'd expect and just the way I lIke It: fIlthy and rotten. And fun, somethIng that modern bands often seem to forget. Who says brutal metal can't make you smIle?
