With ‘Rot Stink Rip’, Tombstoner from the US delivers their second album under the Redefining Darkness Records banner. It all starts with a sinister tone and it jumps immediately into 10 relentless tracks with a definite Old School Death Metal approach. While dual hate filled screaming and cavernous growls telling the tale of hardcore violence and gore, the music itself has memorable riffs, leads and blasts as main focus.
The clarity of the recording is precise, the anger is present and this album reminds me of late 90s Hardcore infused Death Metal with a lot of grind influences by the structure and placement of the riffs and vocal patterns. ‘Rot Stink Rip’ never lets up and I recommend this to fans of Internal Bleeding, Misery Index, and Dying Fetus.
