The perfectly named Red is the Color of Ripping Death is the first Nunslaughter album in seven years and the first one since the 2015 death of the band’s beloved drummer Jim “Sadist” Konya. For those who knew him, it is clear that he will always be missed, but he would no doubt be smiling along with the rest of us to know that Nunslaughter have forged ahead in such savage and fiendishly seductive fashion.

What we’ve got for you today is the premiere of an album track named “Broken and Alone“, accompanied by a music video that pairs scenes of a serial-killer at work with footage (red-tinged of course) of the band discharging the song like wild animals in the throes of ferocious ecstasy.

According to Metal-Archives, Cleveland-based Nunslaughter have released more than 140 recordings, only four of which have been full-length albums, the rest mostly consisting of splits, EPs, and live albums. Hells Headbangers is releasing two more splits this fall, and I spent some time with both of them this past weekend. I reviewed the first one, a split with Perversor, here.

In this second split, with Columbia’s Witchtrap, Nunslaughter spit their poison in Spanish for a change, with tracks named “La Ofrenda” and “Altar De La Muerta”. “La Ofrenda” is a meat-grinder on steroids, a venomous death metal romp with a breakdown guaranteed to produce sore-neck syndrome and thoroughly disgusting vocal filth. “Altar De La Muerta” is another jet-fueled riff-rampage that’s groovy as hell and never backs off the gas. Both songs will light a bonfire under your butt. Continue reading »

In this split with a relatively new Chilean band named Perversor, Nunslaughter contribute two tracks — “Impure Thoughts” and “Bless the Dead”. “Impure Thoughts” is a thick, black, boiling cauldron of riff liquor, a mix of d-beat rhythms, skin-flaying black thrash, and grisly corpse-crawling death metal. “Bless the Dead” switches up the beats and the styles, too, and at its core is a head-wrecking chug-stomp, catchy as fuck and impurified with a wash of vocal pollutants. The songs are gone before you know it, but it’s a sweet trip while it lasts. Continue reading »
