Mudslinger is a fairly new monster growling act from the land
of the fifty stars. It wouldn´t be fair to compare them with bands like Morbid
Angel and Cannibal Corpse but as far as the ultra-guttural growling goes they
aren´t that far away from these two. Mudslinger does however have a more
varied sound with both slower and more atmospheric monents as well as
aggressive ones. They could perhaps best be described as a mix of doom metal,
Morbid Angel and the new American wave of Machine Head metal. Unfortunately
the band is lacking a little bit of creative talent and the songs on this
album are a little too similar to make it exciting all the way through. This
is something they can work on though and with a more mature songwriting
Mudslinger could become an interesting band in the future. I don´t know if
there are many other bands in the US with a similar sound but Mudslinger seems
to have found a style of their own. Now they only need to work hard on
developing it further. The album was recorded and mixed at Trident Studios by
the vocalist Juan Urteaga and mastered at Imperial Mastering by Colin Davis.
Additional vocals on "Lambs" were done by Steev Esquivel and cover art by
Mike Bohatch.
