GHASTLY
Serpentine Union / The Divine Fire

Dank, putrid death metal from Tampere, Finland. Far away from the polished, trigger happy wankathons of latterday DM, Ghastly breathe life into a genre that went stale and commercial ages ago but has sprung new festering buds in the darker corners of the underground of late. A fine cross between oldschool swedeath and the doom death hybrid of the early 90s the Finnish were so annoyingly good at, this two track EP is a welcome whiff of the macabre to anyone with half an ear for festering, tomb cracking death metal.
