Stench Collector / Seep
Split
Dawnbreed Rec. / Gurgling Gore 2023
If you remember,
there used to be a time when various music magazines included complimentary
compilation CDs with their issues. As the Internet was just in its infancy,
there was no way to check every name you heard online in three seconds. News
also spread relatively slowly. So one listened to these compilations and wrote
down the most interesting bands in a notebook, or inquired about them in
underground correspondence. Today it looks a bit different, but I still like to
check out unknown names, and splits are an ideal opportunity for this. That's
why I reached for a release containing one track each by Stench Collector and
Seep. Both bands are from the States and both feature beleaguered names, which
was even more encouraging. The release opens with the boys from Rhode Island.
Their six-minute track can basically be summed up very simply. It is almost a
clone of Incantation, or at least you can hear that this band had the greatest
influence on the authors of "Daemon Rat Onanism". The composition is
kept at a medium tempo, with a slight acceleration, and based on John McEntee's
characteristic riffing. Even the sound of the guitars is strongly associated
with the pioneers of the genre. You have to admit that the student listened
very carefully to the professor's lectures, because the essence of death metal
is basically included in these few minutes. There are massive chords, a very
good solo, deep growls and the stench of the grave. Of course, it sounds
delectable, in a husky heavy and organic way. I think that such a song would not
be ashamed even of those who inspired Stench Collector to make music. And
that's probably the best recommendation. On the second page we find a slightly
shorter song Seep. However, we are by no means out of the coffin. We continue
to be crushed by unhurried crushing and powerful, though simple chords. And now
guess what smells strongly here? Well, what can, since apparently both bands
attended the same school. The slight difference is that Seep tries to mask
Incantation's influence a bit, or diversify it. So he adds a drip of Mortician
to his pot, diversifies the vocals with samples in the background, finally
slows down to almost nothing to the accompaniment of suffering moans in the
background, building an atmosphere of decay and decay. And when the final tone
rings out, I already know what I'm going to do. I'll get acquainted with the
rest of the releases of both bands as soon as possible, because they both know
exactly what truly graveyard, seedy death metal is. Collectors of all
"sevens", then, probably don't need me to tell them what they should
do.
