ALTERED DEAD (BC, Canada) - (Self-Titled) (2016) (Black vinyl - limited to 300 copies) originally released on August 23rd, 2016
 
Hailing from Victoria, BC, duo Altered Dead deliver a filthy, uncompromising dose of pure Old-School Death Metal on their Self-Titled debut full-length studio album. Engineered with a massive, abrasive guitar tone and raw production courtesy of Iskra’s Cody Baresich, this 12-track assault strips away modern polish in favor of pure, sickening morbidity.
 
Drawing deep inspiration from the rot of Autopsy, Grave, and Celtic Frost, the album effortlessly shifts between neck-snapping D-beat grooves, mid-tempo Death 'n' Roll, and murky, suffocating doom passages.
 
Packed with sickeningly catchy riffs, rasping gutturals, and relentless drumming, this is a essential spin for purists who like their Death Metal ugly, filthy, and completely unpasteurized.  
Highly recommended for fans of: Autopsy, Asphyx, Grave, Undergang, and Coffins.
