Out of print for years, Repulsive Echo’s, Kostas has brought us back both releases from Toledo Ohio’s Gutted. Gutted were a death metal band who had some hype back in the early-mid 90’s. These reissues are still highly sought after and probably a repressing is in order, because these reissues are difficult to find and are recent. One of the interesting aspects of Gutted were that 3 of the 4 members, later on were all brothers. The Ditch brothers. Mark on vocals/bass, Scott on drums and Michael (RIP) on guitar. Sadly Michael passed away 4 years ago from brain cancer. Regardless, Gutted were a pretty ripping act. So let’s get into the first part of the review.
Gutted’s debut album, Bleed For Us To Live was released in 1994 on Red Light Records. Red Light were picking up all the brutal death metal acts and Gutted were pushed with this album, a lot. Their ads were all over the place. When I was with Internal Bleeding I met them a few times and they were cool and they played really heavy live sets. One of the things Gutted did were write longer than average death metal songs. While most death metal bands on average would write 3-4 minute tunes, Gutted pushed the song length upwards to 5 – 6 minutes. Gutted also did not utilize blast beats as much as bands were doing back then. They had the blasts, but they were never super-fast. Gutted also were not afraid to have the bass guitar mixed in really well, something a lot of death metal bands did not always mix in well on the albums. Rounding out Gutted was Billy Mills on guitars as well.

KATLA are the conceptual and musical brainchild of vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Einar Thorberg Gu∂mundsson (FORTÍÐ, POTENTIAM) and former SÓLSTAFIR-drummer and visual artist Gu∂mundur Óli Pálmason. The duo deliberately took their name from one of the most active and feared Icelandic volcanoes to manifest that the external part of their inspiration relates to the islands ever-changing landscapes and subpolar climate. "The outer landscapes are as important to us as the inner darkness", tells Einar. "KATLA is as much a product of our environment as derived from our state of mind."

Autopsy's first official live album featuring classic tracks from over three decades of depravity, including a new unreleased track, Maggots In The Mirror.
“Live, loud, raw and ugly! Autopsy lays waste to the stage and assaults the crowd with classic death metal brutality.”
---------
Live in Chicago - the band’s first official live album - was recorded at Reggie’s Rock Club, March 7th 2020, and contains 66 minutes of classics spanning the whole 30+ year career of the Death Metal legends. The release also notably includes the brand new track Maggots in the Mirror’ giving fans something to chew on while the impending next studio release takes shape.
Due to recent and somewhat unforeseen global events, this stands as Autopsy’s only gig of 2020, out of what was intended to be a string of several appearances. Luckily the show was professionally recorded, unknowing of what was about to follow. With mixing carried out by Adam Munoz, notable for his work on Autopsy’s studio albums, Live in Chicago captures Autopsy in all of their ferocious, gory glory, with artwork once again conjured from the masterfully warped mind of Wes Benscoter (Slayer, Nile, Kreator).
This is the fifth studio album of these Colombian Power Trio thrashers, where one can find the continuity of their style; strength, speed, groove and loyalty to their metal sound roots. As few old but still active bands have been loyal to their early compositions, feeling and groove, Witchtrap shows the perfect example of how Heavy Metal must be, despite the different tendencies and epochs that come and go; relying on the true old school metal power creativity and developing on the simple and on the catchiest sound structure.
This new studio album has not too much for the seeker of experimentation who doesn't care too much when it comes to make changes to the essence of the Heavy Metal to a point of even ruining it; on the contrary, this is serious stuff for the radical hard thrashing maniac who is addict to the power of the galloping and crashing guitars, the bombing bass lines and the smashing drum sounds with the addition of over the top fiery screaming vocals.
"Evil Strikes Again" is not only the perfect follow-up for the Witchtrap's "Trap The Witch" album, but the new vindication of a legacy that was first born in the early 80's with bands that stunned the hard rock scene such as Venom, Hellhammer, Slayer and Destruction among many.
So dear metal head, turn on your sound system and put this record on it, hit play and let it rip! You won't be disappointed as this is not just a compilation of songs, but a direct and clear new metal onslaught!
