Epicardiectomy - Ulcerous Cadaveric Decrepitation - 2011 Promo




Ulcerous Cadaveric Decrepitation is a two song 2011 promo from Epicardiectomy, a three piece slam band from Czech Republic.

Tracklist:

1: Ulcerous Cadaveric Decrepitation

2: Phallus Decapitation



My opinion and enjoyment of this band have always been very up and down. I think they could be so much better and consistent with their sound. They were on a 3-way split last year with Dormant Carnivore and Kraanium, two bands I also enjoy, and it was a very solid release.



This two song promo, however, seems to be more of the same, with less production quality.  Less production quality is not always a bad thing.  It is in this case though.
Other than a super slow slam around the 2:15 mark of the title track, both of these songs stay at a very steady pace.  A pace that is set and creatively punctuated by the drums, which are what holds this band together.  Nicely fitting pinch harmonics that actually don’t get overwhelming, are heavily peppered throughout this promo.

It is by no means a bad release, and it is only a promotional two songs.  They have done their job by promoting and sparking a desire for me to hear more from the band soon!
Also enjoyable is the artwork of a guy who goes by Rhino, he lives right in the band’s hometown of Prague and does their artwork. He also does work for Gorepot, Gortuary, Kraanium to name a few.
