History
Reviews R.U.DEAD? - ...COMPLETELY DEAD. - MAJESTIC UNION
Any underground maven worth his salt knows R.U. Dead? is a dead and
buried
band from southern Germany which kicked around the underground for most
of
the nineties. The album at hand is essentially Majestic Union's tribute
to
the band comprising demo, vinyl and MCD material from the act. Covering
music composed over the span of a decade, ...Completely Dead is
decidedly
uneven. The closest comparison is probably Deceased or Terrible
Certainty-era Kreator with the Germans combing a purée of death, thrash
and
doom into something sufficiently their own. Several very good riffs
stand
next to weaker moments, yet the ambience is clearly subterranean
throughout.
Chalk me down as an ambivalent one: metal historians and underground
mavens
might be interested; the average casual metal fan though can disregard.
By
the way, great play on words in the title!
