Death Breath - Let It Stink (2007)

   Some old school death metal nostalgia showed up in the late '00s that was called as the New Wave of Old School Death Metal. It was nothing revolutionary new, only purposed to fill the emptiness that was left behind after the once very influental late '80s/early '90s death metal bands. All performed by newbies, so it didn't concentrate into scenes by location, similar bands just formed all around. One of these bands was Death Breath.
   Even though "Let it Stink" was only a short EP that also included 2 cover songs, the feeling that Death Breath summonned was outstanding, and defines perfectly what old school sound means. It's like if they've recorded the songs 20 years earlier, and to refer back to bands like GBH and Bathory gives a really ancient touch for the EP (and since they are Swedes, a British reference is inevitable to make). This kind of dirty, noisy thrashy sound was really something that wasn't common to hear since a long time in the main scene by new bands, and counted very vintage that time. On the side of the music, the lyrical concept is also the same horror influenced like decades ago. There's no need to form any high-toned message, the ghouls are coming, they're dead but walking and want to eat your brains... any questions? The intensiveness makes the EP party compatible too, though it's quite sick. Strongly recommended for the fans of dirty, ancient sound.
