Cutthroat

[Eoin McLove]

Two new local bands I'm excited about at the minute are Callous Master and Cutthroat, so I feel it's appropriateto give them their own thread. I have the new demo on order but it'll probably take ages to get down my way and they haven't uploaded anything yet. I initially thought the name and logo were a bit shite but they've actually grown on me. Simple and effective name with a crude, back of the schoolbook logo which is kind of perfect for a demo. Has anyone received their tape yet? What's the sound quality like?

Stuck in an order for the tape too but haven't got it yet.  Something I never do anymore is order something blind but I did it with this, for the sake of the tenner, only going on hearing good things about them here.  And the physical only lure is too great 

[Eoin McLove]

Yup. The odd blind buy is a nice thing.

[CorkonianHunger]

We had them support us in August. Young hungry lads looking to make noise. Sounded good on the night plenty of riffs and attitude.

Need to grab a tape.

[Paul keohane]

Cutthroat were unbelievable in Cork!

Saw them at that, they were class

Wouldn't order it deaf be more to the point?

[Pentagrimes]

Is this is the same band?

I presume they dont sound like this anymore going on the rave reviews you're all giving them, this doesn't sound much like the descriptions above and more like some sort of Venom/Midnight thing than the blurb suggests. It's pretty awful.

[Eoin McLove]

Yep that's them. I think they have progressed a bit since then. Two years is a long time when you're a teenager learning your trade.

Fair point, of course. Was just surprised given the buzz here when I heard this. I'll wait til they have something more substantial out to investigate further, cos I'm afraid I wouldn't risk a blind buy based on those bandcamp tracks.

[Eoin McLove]

Yeah well it's a risk, but sure... no mercy, non merci.

Unless someone else does a rip, it looks there's no plans for any uploads.



I would have given this a go for the craic but I've no tape deck at the moment.

My copy arrived in the post yesterday (it only had to come up the road to Bonn from Mannheim, so I'd imagine I'm a couple of days ahead).

I will give it a whirl this evening after I finish working, along with the three other tapes I bought.

My copy was numbered 62/66, so it would probably be a good idea to act fast to buy it.

Mine arrived earlier.
Lashing it on for a spin now.

First track is a ripper so far. 

Edit: the whole EP keeps the intensity right the way through. Same as their live set. Deadly stuff for a bunch of young lads.

[Eoin McLove]

My tape arrived today and I'm giving it its first spin here. Fuck yes! This is really good. Points for breaking ground- nil. Points for riffage and ugly thrashing madness- 666! Nice production job on it too. These bucks sounds like they could have been vomited out of the 90s Aussie scene. Fukkin nice spewy vocals. Like a black metal Reifert maybe?
