This is the first release from Italian Death Metallers Human Decay; a 3 track EP clocking in at just over 14 minutes.
The cover primes you to expect Old-School Death Metal and that’s exactly what you get.
The EP has a fantastically grimy DIY sound that doesn’t detract from the songs, instead it gives them a feeling of vintage and character. There’s even some bass. And some solos, can’t forget about them.
The vocals are Old-School Death Metal vocals, which are aggressive but remain legible. Well, if you speak Italian they are. Which I don’t, but you can hear what he’s saying for the most part anyway.
The songs show good awareness of pacing and variety and I can almost visualise the band playing their songs as I hear them; the sound of a real, living band doing what they love is that authentic and obvious.
This is a good first EP to break out into the Metal world with. Time to support a new band.
