I woke up this morning with a real urge to listen to a band that sound like they belch gravel and cry vomit and it seems that on this fine day my prayers have been answered in form of Dead Existence’s LONG awaited new release ‘Born into the Planet’s Scars’. This band was one of the highlights of the recent First Birthday of ours and we were lucky enough to be given a preview of what was to come with this recording, but the added bonus of seeing these guys live is to see their front man Jake Harding throwing himself around like a horrifically tormented soul trying to expel every bit of anguish from himself before he explodes. A sight that if not seen already, should be at this weeks ‘Doom over London’ (See flyer below).

The recording itself contains the 2 epic numbers each coming in way over the 10 minute mark and unlike with the first album the lengths allow them to explore some really interesting territory with not a single second of this getting boring which I tend to find normally happens a lot when track lengths go over the 6-7 minute mark. The songs are jam packed with disgusting riffs covering every interesting influence in the doom genre along side a little bit of all of our beloved NOLA bands. I don’t enjoy listing what a band sound like but any one who loves this sort of thing will see that this band firmly wear their influences on their sleeve, and theirs is a dirty crusty unwashed smelly sleeve indeed!!

Stand out track: Gutless and Full of Shame
