Fulci – Tropical Sun (2019)

January 16, 2025

A cool mix of shit that is incredibly well made, but where none of the elements particularily shine that bright. For example, the heavier / more “brutal” elements are tasty, as are the more “traditional” death metal parts and even the melodic metal parts (such as the excellent cover at the end). The synthesizer passages and samples are also good fun, but the album does not exceed in any of these. It’s got a whole Jack-of-all-trades thing going on, which is hard to spot at first because it is so well produced, but on repeat listens I find myself becoming less and less interested in what is going on here. For that reason, a solid 3/5 is the score I’ve given this one. Cheers, gorehounds!
