Reviews MOGILA DEATHCULT - RIVER ROT
Previously called Grobdaniste for a decade, Mogila Deathcult, which may or may not be named after a Macedonian town, has issued its seven-minute long debut demo River Rot in 2023. The band is not the world’s tightest and that light snare is annoying, but fret not dear reader. It is mostly buried in the mix thank goodness. What the cultists lack in drum sound and slickness they make up for with old school underground guttural and brutal death metal.
Deeper Crypt is where the snare is at its worst. The song is stop and go. Chains has a noisy solo that reminded this girl of the leads on the debut from Entombed. The song is a wall of sound and great stuff. The barking and raspy singer and the heavy music are under the cover of one weird artwork where a lactating mermaid is sitting on a human skull while nourishing a bird with many more customers flying in. Instant Mash is never as good as the real handmade stuff, but prepared food aside the band has made a good song of it. It is faster and has a punky mid-section in contrast to the other mostly mid-paced songs. This demo is too short at 7 minutes, but then again thanks for not including a weak song.
