Black Breath - Slaves Beyond Death

Review by Joseph Rowan

There’s a more nuanced, skilled band lurking in here and it will be interesting to see if they're allowed to emerge»

Buy now from:

'Slaves Beyond Death' is the 3rd full-length from the new kings of Seattle Death Metal: Black Breath. Like its predecessors, this album was recorded by Kurt Ballou (High on Fire, Nails, Baptists, Converge) at his infamous God City studio in Salem, MA. The heathens of the Breath have taken a decidedly more sick and evil sonic direction with their latest burnt offering. They have effectively and efficiently ripped off their old skin and left us with a more grotesque, rotting corpse of PURE filthy Death Metal. Bid farewell to any good time hardcore, punk or retro thrash vibes. Its all putrid stench and bile vomited up by THEE best current DM band that currently rages. This music ain't pretty but neither are you. Suit up, strap it on and get ready to get pummeled!
