Cadaver Putrefacto- La Maldicion de Zombi Errante (Album Review)


Musicians: Cadaver Putrefacto
Album Title: La Maldicion de Zombi Errante
Genre/ Subgenre: Death Metal
Label: Brutal Records
Release date: April 6, 2018

Cadaver Putrefacto (Putrefied Cadaver when translated to English) are an Argentinian death metal act. They formed in Buenos Aires with Daniel Martin Ledesma on guitar/ vocals and Juan Gomez on the drums. After years of inactivity, the band reformed in 2015 adding Leonel Grismado to handel the vocals and did their demo. But, by the end of 2016 the band is reduced to two members: Juan Gomez on guitar, bass, and scheduled drums and Leonel Grismado still doing the brutal vocal duties.

Now, having signed to Brutal Records, the band will be putting out their debut album, La Maldicion de Zombi Errante (The Evil of the Wandering Zombies), on April 6, 2018. And, let me tell you, this is a hell of a pick for those of us who like their death metal old school style.

The band show a definite influence of bands like Six Feet Under and Deicide, but most of all show a real love for Cannibal Corpse. The music is fast and heavy and is accompanied by very guttural vocals. The lyrics and subject matter are filled with all the blood, gore, horror, and misogyny that fans of bands like Cannibal Corpse will gleefully recognize. All of the songs are sang in Spanish, but with this type of vocals it won't matter cause unless your read the lyrics along with the music you ain't understanding jack-shit thats being sung.

The second track on the album, "Regresso al Horror" (Return to Horror) is blazingly fast with blast beat beatdowns, crunching riffs, and a thick bass guitar. "Sadica Venganza"(Sadistic Vengeance) starts with a thundering and moody riff and drum attack, it then blasts into a punishing and battering full throttle assault. A rumbling bass and punching double bass drum bring the pounding pain for the boiling anger in "Cadaver Putrfacto", which will cause necks to snap from the headbanging that they will be doing. "Macarba Colleccion" (Macabre Collection) drips with gore-drenched Cannibal Corpse worship. Crashing cymbals and a thundering bass lead into a crushing guitar riff for the merciless "Misogina Humillacion" (Misogynistic Humiliation), a song that is surely a heartwarming track for that special someone, or more than likely it isn't.
Production has a bit of a dirty, low-fi sound, but works perfectly with the music. The guitars are crisp and clear. The bass is quite audible, but pleasing, recalling an early Autopsy album with slightly better sound.

Cadaver Putrefacto- La Maldicion de Zombi Errante is a heavy and brutal affair. Clearly influenced by classic death metal bands and obsessed with gore and horror, this will please fans who want a return to the old days of the genre. And, if you wish that the bass guitar was more audible in extreme metal, well, then you have hit the fuckin' jackpot! There is nothing groundbreaking or new added to the genre here, but that is perfectly fine because what Cadaver Putrefacto do is done very well! Death metal fans, head and take notice, you will definitely need this for your collection when it comes out on April 6, 2018!

Tune into Marilyn Thomas' 'Blood Bus' 


Credits/bio
Why this is important:
I've always been a fan of the blood drive, but because of health issues, have never been able to donate. Last year, I found out that people of color are very rare donors. I realized that as a First Nations person, I wanted to change that. This year, I'm not only donating blood, but I've signed up as a bone marrow donor and ensured to check off organ donation. Blood donation is the easiest to give. It takes minutes, and you don't have to die to help someone out.

The Soska Sisters

The Soska Sisters
 are Canadian twin badasses who didn't like what they saw in the entertainment industry and took it upon themselves to fix it. After initially setting out to be actresses and finding themselves auditioning for too many stereotypical roles, they decided to create their own film with empowered female characters, a film that would change the indie scene forever, DEAD HOOKER IN A TRUNK. Content with being outsiders, they followed up their grindhouse hit with the stylized, body modification tale, AMERICAN MARY, which cemented their place as a pair to be watched. Always ones to break new ground and keep audiences guessing, they went on to become the first female directors hired by the WWE and resurrected the SEE NO EVIL 2 franchise with WWE Superstar Kane and followed it up with VENDETTA which turned heart throb Dean Cain into a vengeful cop turned convict hellbent on bringing down WWE's The Big Show. Huge personalities on and off camera, this dynamic duo captured the attention of Blumhouse and followed in the hostessing footsteps of their heroine Elvira to host their survival horror game show, Hellevator. And while the two seek to create better and more diversified roles for women in entertainment, their strong and vocal support for causes of gender equality and LGBTQ rights is just one facet of their filmmaking careers.

ARTISTS' STATEMENT:
For the love of God go donate some fucking blood, please and thank you. People are dying without it and you'll probably need some some day or someone you love will so go be a hero. Save some lives. Do good. After all, it's in you to give.

Up Next: "Donor" by Atropa Films



ABOUT THE ARTIST:

Atropa Films is a an Edmonton-based independent filmmaking collective putting a queer gaze on genre films. With a shared lifelong love of horror movies and backgrounds in various artistic disciplines, our team brings queer visibility, narratives, and representation to all of our films both on and off screen. We aim to bring a voice and narrative focus that has been glaringly absent from many subgenres of horror, blending what we love about genre cinema with queer perspectives and storytelling.

ARTIST'S STATEMENT:

We are so excited to be involved in this year’s blood drive because horror and blood donation are two things we are very passionate about – a number of our crew members are actually students of or currently working in health sciences. Some of us can’t donate blood at this time due to various restrictions and ineligibilities, so we hope that taking part in this project will help bring awareness to those who can. We also want to use this platform as an opportunity to remind everyone that Canada still has incredibly archaic laws around blood donation that prevent many people we love from donating. Men, as well as trans women, who have sex with men are not allowed to donate blood without first meeting strict requirements that are not feasible for many. During the last Canadian federal election campaign, Justin Trudeau and the Liberal Party stated that they “will bring an end to the discriminatory ban” as “this policy ignores scientific evidence.” Please get in touch with your MP and encourage them to push for an end to the stigmatizing blood donation ban so that more of our friends and community members can be heroes as well.
