PUNGENT STENCH

Release Year: 2018
Artist Origin: AUT
Style: sick grotesque groovy death metal

following the groove of Viva La Muerte track from previous EP, 1994's longplay return is quite a logical step forth towards rhythmical rock'n roll influenced, yet still gritty and spontaneous death metal, but having in mind a special guttural approach and filthy unpolished sound Pungent Stench always had - each composition features quite sick theme within precisely controlled chaos, where the grotesque aesthetic intertwines with unexpected musical sophistication, maintaining an unpredictable, hypnotic atmosphere; moreover, it stands out from typical death'n roll formula established at the time, strengthened by creepy sado-masochist themes in lyrics and bizarre visuals aplenty; recent limited British gatefold sleeve black vinyl edition comes with additional Tony bonus
