SWAMPTALES
I Am The Death EP
Self-released (2023)
Rating: 7.5/10
|
Quite clearly the bass player JD Rodiguez is plucking an extracted spinal column for the duration of this debut outing. Around him, fellow lunatics Rafael Vivas (vocals), Briam Moreno (guitar) and Damn Fretus (drums) gargle blood, bash skulls and rip entrails for what is a sleaze-ridden heap of death metal savagery.
You can guarantee that with any release out of South America there will be a primitive brutality, a rawness and a general stench of underground fumes. Colombia’s SwampTales rattle off a cluster of belligerent tracks drenched in that archetypal evil and wickedness. Their repertoire of ghoulish grinding takes form in hideous outbursts such as ‘Nightmare’ with its menacing intro, the clanking gallop of ‘Doomed’ and that hideous title track with its initial gore soaked ooze.
I Am The Death spews up 27 minutes of feisty tunes which exude a filthy and formidable menace and aggression… so why go elsewhere?
