Scotland\u2019s Putrid Fate are somewhat of an underdog when it comes to the local scene, and by admission sole member Rory Macaulay will be forthright in his honesty that his evolution has been a slower process than those other acts around him. Even so, with Orchestrated Sonic Demolition<\/em> Macaulay has finally enlisted the help of an actual drummer in Angus Cape who provides a real beefiness to this release.<\/p>\n

As expected, this another savage release from the Glaswegian and one littered with the usual horror movie samples. The riffs are chunky and organic but one can almost tell that riffs and vocals were recorded in different locations to the drums. For some reason, even with the grisly death metal on show, Putrid Fate still sounds a bit rough around the edges and so serious improvements need to be made. Critics may find this release somewhat reckless and chaotic in spite of the Mortician-styled grinds.<\/p>\n

There is a genuine weight and murkiness to this release and many tracks are extremely infectious, even if it\u2019s all rather standard old school chunder. Macaulay opts for a very deep, bellowing death rattle in his voice, coating tracks like \u2018Trapped\u2019, \u2018Butchery\u2019 and \u2018Extinction Of Life\u2019 with a rancid thick slime.<\/p>\n

Musically, there is an ever present Carcass sort of churning; Putrid Fate stinking of a rich yet congealed mucus sauce that bubbles and swirls like a soup of cysts and muck. Occasional blasts of pace (\u2018Cooking With The Cannibals\u2019 and \u2018Shredded Remains\u2019) interrupt what is mostly a sodden heap of overturned corpse compost whereby songs such as \u2018Stalked For Revenge\u2019, \u2018Drilling Through The Intestinal Decay\u2019 and \u2018Collection Of Meathooks\u2019 writhe like steady streams of rain-soaked undead oozing from mass graves.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll always hold a soft spot for Putrid Fate and I know it can\u2019t be easy for Macaulay doing this on his own at home, but after a batch of releases my biggest concern with this sort of squalid death metal is its shelf life. The next release from Rory somehow needs to progress while remaining rotten.<\/p>\n
