Self Released 2014
1.Family Of Swine 2.Meat 3.Snuffed Out
There seems to have been a real resurgence within the UK
underground of punishing old school death metal bands and another such like are
Newcastle’s ‘Fed To The Boars’. Their three track e.p. ‘Family Of Swine’ pays
homage to the early 90’s when death metal really was death metal, sounding raw,
unpolished and nasty. Title track and opener ‘Family Of Swine’ reeks of early
Swedish death metal worship, the guitar tone, the reverb heavy vocals and the
way the song is delivered. From start to finish it’s utterly punishing,
amazingly nasty and ultimately a savage slab of heavy death metal. ‘Meat’
follows on and if anything, sounds even more devastating as the song is only
1:30 in length so the pace it upped to the max to really add to the brutally
savage appeal. ‘Snuffed Out’ closes this short e.p, with the pace dropping off
slightly, an injection of groove added into the guitars which really gets the
head nodding. As ever, the vocals are a real stand out, being brutally guttural
and suiting the old school atmosphere perfectly. Hints of very old Dismember
began to creep into this closing track, which is probably a good comparison for
the whole e.p as is Séance, Nihilist and Grave.
The band only came together last year, so to
produce such a stand out piece of death metal is an amazing feat and is
testament to the bands ability to capture “that old school sound” amazingly
well. Three tracks of filthy, putrid old school death metal with a production and
delivery that will have many a fan grinning widely, FTTB are proving to be extremely
good at what they’re doing and this release comes highly recommended. Surely
these guys have a nastily bright future ahead of them, here’s looking
forward to the next release!
