I like good music and songs, I don’t care about where the music falls genre-wise. Slither has solid songwriting. Some of those parts are insanely catchy.

There was some solid songwriting on that and Karl’s rap parts were sic.”

If that was a joke, then you are brilliant. If not, well…

In fact, it was, and still is, my favorite Earth Crisis album. This band’s music has never really grabbed me — it has always been and always shall be about Karl’s vocals, and I feel they were at their best on Slither.

Upon my first sampling of Slither in 2000, I was pissed about the addition of clean vocals. But I soon found the contrast between the clean vocals and harsh vocals to make the latter just that much more biting, intense, and gripping. Slither also had much more variety in vocals, tempo, etc. than any other of their albums, which is a necessity for me in any band I listen to.

I have listened to To The Death only a few times and, although I’m thrilled the band is together again, I find that this new release is much more basic, simple, and monotonous than I tend to care for. And although Karl is still fierce, he does not sound nearly as ferocious as he did on Slither. Perhaps it’s simply a production thing, or old age, or whatever, but To The Death just doesn’t seem to have the intensity of Slither or Gomorrah’s Season Ends. It really reminds me of Breed The Killers, which I am not too high on. I’m hoping I find more in To The Death as I give it more time.
