Festered - Flesh Perversion (2009)

   Festered was one of Elektrokutioner's early projects, a short lived one that had only one album released.
   Such as most of his bands, Festered was also an old school death metal band built on the same completely horror addicted concept. It was definitely meant to recall the feeling of the early '90s, but like at many other similar bands, the difference is noticeable. Even if the concept and the sound are similar, and most of the oldies also have been horror freaks, it's somehow not the same. Back than the whole death metal thing was kind of actual, something new, and horror movies also had some sort of renaissance. Decades later if someone's trying to do the same, it counts as a fan made project, and the cutten short details of ancient Z rated movies are also everything but actual. It's a different cathegory than it was before, there's no competition, it shouldn't be taken so seriously, and it also didn't mean to shock the audience (or not as much like before). In all of Elektrokutioner's bands the same musical features are waving back: fast, thrashy drumming style, short, heavy slow downs, characteristic guitar themes, that are easy to identify, deep growling vocals and putrid sound. If it's about sickness, heaviness or intesity, Festered was somehow in middle way compared to his other projects. It's simple, enjoyable old school nostalgia by horror and metal geeks made and recommended for horror and metal geeks.
