Retribute Records Sons Of Slaughter venture back up to Tayside to highlight the Dundee launch of their debut full length album
The Extermination Strain. This album which received
8/10 from Terrorizer Magazine delivers precision death/grind brutality built on blistering riffs, relentless vicious rhythms and inhuman vocals. A brutal death metal onslaught.
Also performing on February 18th are record label buddies Man Must Die, who shoot their DVD footage at this event. As well as showcasing two of the U.K's premier extreme metal bands we also present discordant and harrowing noisecore/hardcore in the form of Allergo, Dundee's continually evolving home-grown metalcore group A Written Apology and the eletronic thrash quintet from Glasgow called Genetik Blueprint.
Terrorizer magazine review of ''The Extermination Strain'':
Scottish death/grind is something you don't often hear about, though Sons of Slaughter have a sound that demands attention. The grind is initially more present than the death from first track, ''Lead Us Not'' but the technicality shown by guitarists Tim Rasmussen and Johnny Hall by the second and undoubtedly strongest track, ''Purify Through Sin'', proves otherwise. SOS excell in producing coherent and original tracks that range from clear references to Napalm Death as much as to Morbid Angel. They even leave room for some melodic fervour with ''Between Two Suns'', a welcome slab of folk strumming that perfectly introduces the cascading riffs of the following ''Scattered To The Four Winds''. SOS may well be the start of something big up in the cold northern highlands and if other local groups take ''The Extermination Strain'' as an example of meticulous, high-energy death/grind, then we may well be in for a lot more Scottish anger - 8/10
