Even Death Metallers can be emotional. Of course their most vital and common emotions are anger and agression, but they are also capable of another emotion: nostalgia. At least, the Swedish Death Breath is capable of that feeling. All they care about is reliving the days of pure Old School Death Metal, and seem to be doing anything to bring those days back.
As such, they live, eat, drink, breathe and poop the Old School. "Stinking Up The Night", their very first album, is no less than thirty-three minutes of paying homage to the old heroes. Death Metal done as they did in the eighties, so not the superbrutal and overproduced stuff that is now common and every day business, but a thrashing, raw and dirty monstrosity. Entombed is a primary influence, pretty much all of the Swedish masters are, but a couple of Slayeresque riffs and a punkish attitude also seep through. Add some zombie themes to that and you've got yourself a putrid pile of a rotting, obscene album. Bang your head along to the infectious tunes of "Heading For Decapitation" or "Chopping Spree", their choruses are bound to stick in your head until the dawn of the dead. This stuff is also perfect for a good night of beer drinking and savage parties.
If you know what Swedish Death Metal stands for, you already know exactly what this sounds like. That being said, I will waste no more words on describing this review, except these: that what is done, is done good. That should be enough for you to decide if this album is worth your time.
