Raspatul
'The Perfect Realm Of Jharkyannarkh'
Killer retro-gore on an all out thrash trip, Singapore's Raspatul devour the strong and the weak equally to the beat of gore-warriors past that can never be paid enough tribute. With the marksman-like intensity of Kreator and Venom, yet analogous to the meat-making slaughterhouse splatter immortalized by Autopsy, this quartet melt it all down into a gelatinous blanket - something akin to hurling a few hundred kilos of homemade napalm off a skyscraper at rush hour. Inescapable and impossible to extinguish, the diverse riffing patterns keep things infectious as they are devasting and wholly satisfying to the diehard consumer. One of their strongest qualities is the way they take a style you've heard countless times and make it refreshing and uplifting while leaving you feeling smashed in the face by the back-end of a musical chainsaw. If you've listened to Pestilence, Cadver or Occult this week, you owe it yourself to follow it up with this. A mere $6 to: Raspatul, Calvin, Blk 503, Ang Mo Kio Ave 5, #05-3780, Singapore 560503.
