VHS - Screaming Mad Gore (Splatter Zombie Records)

Homies, do you remember the age of VHS? This analog atmosphere and specific image? No? But what about those three canadian friends, they are fallen in deep love with those beautiful times they even named their band after this format. The theme of old school horror movies is continued in the cover art too, very good idea, old good zombie crawling from the hills made of cassetes (also look at the cassetes, look at the films listed on it). I won't say this is a unique idea but it suits to the band's image.

The noise of wind, creaks of old doors and other spooky sounds... I can't imagine a better intro The further we go, the more interesting it becomes... I don't know how to describe VHS in a proper way, there is a lot of different stuff...here we got an old rotten death metal, a little bit of grind, and just heavy metal guitar riffs (so you can bang your hair, ahahaha). And all this disgusting and insane mix is flavoured with endless horror thems. Disgusting slime just drops from these guitar riffs, these hoarse vocals, I have an impression that this is the ghoul growls when he dig another grave, ahaha. Screaming Mad Gore went to be very complicated and different, sometimes funny, sometimes dark and atmospheric, and sometimes just crushing like pneumatic press (which used for recycling old cars).
