Olympia, WA's Bone Sickness are a young band that play old death metal. The tracks on the band's new LP, Alone In The Grave, hearken back to old school Napalm Death and Repulsion. Bone Sickness makes grindy punk influenced death metal that's sludgy sounding and miles away from anything that could be considered "technical". The emphasis here is on sounding evil – not fret board wankery.
Right now, Terrorizer.com is streaming Alone In The Grave in it's entirety complete with a track by track breakdown courtesy of the band. This LP is a breath of putrid air for anyone fed up with the over-saturation of tiresome technical death metal and melodeath bands that's currently plaguing the extreme metal community. And, at a brief 18 minutes, Bone Sickness don't give listeners a chance to breath let alone get bored. Alone In The Grave relentlessly pummels you with d-beats and muddy, down-tuned guitars while the vocalist barks about all manner of grotesqueries.
If you like what you hear, 20 Buck Spin is graciously shipping the physical LP ahead of the official April 30th street date. You can order the LP here for a paltry $11.
