Entry 117 - Bloodbath - Resurrection Through Carnage

 

What happens when a band that was created to pay tribute to classic death metal in turns becomes classic death metal? Bloodbath has been around for more than 20 years at this point...

Breeding Death was a cool EP that I thought would be a one off tribute to the olden days of death metal. I was shocked as hell when they announced a full length a few years later.

Resurrection Through Carnage picks up exactly where Breeding Death left off. This is old school Swedish death metal with a slight influence form the Florida scene from the early 90's.

The riffs are extremely simple, the guitars sound like buzz saws, the vocals are guttural. There is nothing subtle about this. I absolutely adore it.

This and the debut EP are the two Bloodbath albums where they show their influences the most. They manage to channel the energy of Obituary, Entombed, Dismember, and Grave while still molding it to their own style.

Bloodbath's debut LP is just fun to listen to. It knows exactly what it is and embraces it. A fitting tribute to the golden age of death metal.
