With arguably one of the most organic and morbid releases to emerge so far in 2023, Chile\u2019s Frozen Blood doesn\u2019t just nod back to the death metal old school, they literally revel in the innards of the genre.<\/p>\n

What you get here are five tracks \u2013 including a cover of Slayer<\/a>\u2019s \u2018Die By The Sword\u2019 \u2013 that are channelled through a dank rattling bass, an equally fetid guitar tone, drums which stink of decay, and vocals straight from the humid cellar.<\/p>\n

Frozen Blood is a two-piece consisting of vocalist S.A. (Sick Stabber) and multi-instrumentalist A.A. (Devoured Of Christian Souls), and what they have created here just gets me chomping at the manky cadaver for a full-length. This is utterly rancid and downtrodden death metal that begins with the fusty title track before ending in that admirable Slayer cover, which to an extent isn\u2019t necessary but hey, it\u2019s all good, ghoulish fun, as are the songs sandwiched in-between, particularly \u2018Mercilessly\u2019 which again comes with an utterly dirty riff and that filthy percussive slap which suffocates you like a wet blanket.<\/p>\n

Revenge<\/em> is a stagnant, compost-ridden EP riddled with grubs and billowing a stench that will clog even the most hardened of arteries.<\/p>\n
