No, Gore Brigade, isn’t the name of Exhumed’s latest album. It’s the debut EP from vocalist Jonny Pettersson (Wombbath, Massacre, Heads for the Dead), plus guitarist Ludvig Johansson (Defiatory) and drummer Jon Skäre (Defiatory, Wachenfeldt). The trio keep things relatively simple in Gore Brigade: filthy, fast death metal with no frills.
Gore Brigade takes an old-school approach to songwriting with a modern take on production. There are a few hints of crust in the music and Pettersson sounds great on the EP. Sick horror freaks can also rejoice at the use of samples, really giving Gore Brigade that gore metal feel.
Redefining Darkness will release the full record on December 10, but you can hear it right now via Decibel.
