“SLAUGHTERDAY was formed in 2010 by Jens Finger - Guitars/Bass (ex-Obscenity) and

Metal, heavily influenced by bands like Autopsy, Asphyx, Entombed, Massacre,
etc. In December 2012 SLAUGHTERDAY
recorded a 4-Track Demo called "Cosmic Horror" at Sound-lodge
Studios, which was released via FDA REKOTZ. The full length album

Slaughterday!
With a name like Slaughterday
and their genre being death metal what’s not to like? Even their E.P cover
is exciting! By Jan Pysander Whitney. I
know I am ‘ravenous’ to listen to this and who can blame me as I wallow and
feast on – well let’s see... oh the tension is mounting...
Ravenous
From the bowels of the murky depths this takes a slice out of your
head and digests it like the monster portrayed on the cover. Ravaging and filled
with a fuelled hatred breath of rambunctious rhythms ripe for ear battering! A
very ambient track that prowls in predatory fashion – slow and precise ready to
catch its unwitting prey!
Crawling in Secrecy
This track is hungry for attention, and undeniably potent! Its heavy
structure is insatiable and power crazed. The flanks of dramatic rhythms are
enthralling and will no doubt leave you wanting more.
------------------------------------------------------
“Weaving intense and alluring
passages of sheer expression and lingering with intent to molest the audial, it
twists and turns offering unwavering potency, as you would expect and this does
not disappoint on any level!”
------------------------------------------------------
Abyss of a Nameless Fear
The sadistic gait unfolds in a blood thirsty rampage of malignancy,
tearing at the aural and ripping it to shreds. Spawned from an intrusive and
all-consuming temper it swipes hard and leaves nothing to the over active
imagination.
Ave Satanas – (Acheron Cover)
Not so far removed from Acheron’s original version however this is
very black, bleak and thoroughly evil sounding. This version of Slaughterday sounds somewhat less doom
and more death orientated as the original is more along the vein of doom.
Summary
For me this 4 Track E.P just scratches the surface of what Slaughterday are really about. It is
more of a taster but since listening I have now found a ‘new addiction’
No doubt Slaughterday have
found their niche and embedded themselves deeply into it. Their truly evil
sound is really impressive! The deep guttural growls signify their genre and
excite me all the more!
The cross between the boundaries of Black and Death metal are finely
tuned. I love black metal, but death metal is a lot easier to fully enjoy, plus
the lows are more heaven than hell to me, if that is the right sentence to use.
The nature of this E.P will cast a warm to explosive glow across the
ear drums and will reward and satisfy its listeners so much so that your hunger
will just get greedier for more and become a full on massacre.
Weaving intense and alluring passages of sheer expression and
lingering with intent to molest the audial, it twists and turns offering
unwavering potency, as you would expect and this does not disappoint on any
level.
