Slugnut - All The Splendor and Rot - SLG001



This disc is what you get when you take people that really appreciate old school thrash and mix it up with new school metal. Slugnut is just that, black influenced vocals with ultra heavy thrash influences, a perfect mix and different enough to stand out from the other releases out there. This band has done something very few do, they have their drummer, Jason, singing and with these vocals, it must be a challenge to scream like that and play drums masterfully at the same time. His vocals are on par with the top singers in the black metal genre and that alone should propel them to the top. Keith is an amazing guitar player with amazing riffing skills and even better soloing skills, just a great player period. Nate is a great bass player and works incredibly with Jason forming a thundering rhythm section. The production is amazing and very dark sounding, allowing the music to feel the way it sounds, evil. The songs themselves, all fourteen of them, are well crafted, bludgeoning tracks that are heavy as hell. I listened to this disc over and over and could not find a single filler song, all of it was incredible. If this band gets an even break they will be big in the metal world!

9/10

SLUGNUT/All The Splender-Pretty cool old school thrashy rock n roll band here. The band play raw stripped down to the bone thrashy metal. The music is sort of like Celtic Frost in the guitar part and the drummer smashes the drums with authority. The vocals are good, soild pissed off kind, but not in the tough guy sort of way. This was a surprise as the band is really good and doing things their way and not in the trendy way.
