Rancid Flesh ‎– Pathological Zombie Carnage (Carnificina Records, Cianeto Discos, Terceiro Mundo Chaos Discos, Rapture Records)

Step by step our brazilian friends from Rancid Flesh finally came up with their first big and rotten album. Pathological Zombie Carnage is very different from the previous work of the band. And first of all I need to warn, I will make my view on this album from goregrind side… Well I think that guys are strongly addicted to death metal. You asking me why? That's because this album have a lot of death metal guitar riffs and drum patterns + it's very well manifested in vocals. Hmm what can I say, on this album our friends slightly departed from goregrind. This album shows that guys grew up in their playing practices, guitar sound & technics sound much better and yep, drums are not "alive", but they sound pretty good. Guys prepared on this gore piece about 30 minutes (25 tracks) of new material. It's very nice to hold this CD in hands, well done design, all info and rotten lyrics inside. And I need to say about very lovely front art, artist made classical zombie theme in his own way, without any zombies army, just with rotten and gory parts. 
And now I need to say few words about the cons of this CD. Sometimes songs have too boring riffs... wants to hear more groovy shit! and of course I think that this album needs more gore vocals (ala LDOH) After really gory "Festering Gore... Repulsive Stench".. I was thinking that guys will go further in to the gore... but I was wrong. I can say that I truly don't like their decision, but I'm sure that many will appreciate this album from death metal side.
