Mortician – Re-Animated Dead Flesh (2004)

March 4, 2024

I’m over here in my rainy, shithole part of the world, wondering how the fuck Re-Animated Dead Flesh gets such a bad rap compared to the other Mortician records? I do understand that folks might have been sick to the back teeth of Mortician by the time a 5th full length came out, but damn this shit fucking rules so hard. Dead Flesh easily has the best production of any Mortician full-length, with a much better balance for the enormous guitar, bass and vocal mushy clusterfuck that we can sometimes get on other records. The drums too, this is probably the best, clearest programmed drum sound the band ever had.

IDK, maybe I have a subconscious bias because this was the first Mortician record I heard online before going out and buying Hacked Up For Barbeque some time later. But this at the VERY LEAST is on par with the other records.
