Cost: 99¢
This CD is available for trade.
EP with some new tracks, a pair of covers, and some live tracks. The new stuff is okay for nowadays death metal--it's not old-school by any stretch, but there's definitely some '90s Floridian influence in the riffs. But I'm not a big fan of the blastbeating, and it's disappointing that there are no guitar solos (especially considering that Peter's guitar playing on the covers is very good). The live stuff is just space filler so I'm not going to bother talking about it.
That leaves the Cinderella and Ratt covers which are of course the main point of interest on the disc. Other than the downtuning and DM vocals, both are played pretty faithfully, with the solos and lead work being especially well done. Being the less metallic of the two songs, "Shake Me" doesn't translate as well, and the chorus sounds goofy with extreme vocals. "You're in Love" isn't the first Ratt cover I would have thought of for a death metal cover (obviously "Round and Round" for the notoriety, or maybe one of the heavier cuts from the first EP like "Sweet Cheater") but the Bloodsoaked version works surprisingly well.
