IMPETIGO (USA/Il): “Ultimo Mondo Cannibale” Cd 1999 Morbid

RECENSORE: Unknown

VOTO: 6,00/10

DURATA:


First full length album from the greatest Horror band of all times.

Originally released 10 years before on Wild Rags! this re-issue

on Morbid features, contrarily to the Horror of the Zombie, exactly

the same artwork, cover and inner sleeve as the original. No additional

tracks, re-mastering or bonus CD-ROM shit to distinguish from

the original LP but hell, this is finally on CD and can be listened

without risking to scratch or wear the vinyl. The sound is fucking

crude and the songs a bit less varied then on the second CD and

still display a backbone of humour (songs like “Jane Fonda

Sucks”, “Dear Uncle Creepy” and “Revenge of

the Scabby Man” have more of a comic strip based feeling

than B Italian Horror movies IMHO). In the whole disc there is

still much punk/core influence such as NAPALM DEATH’s “Scum”

or other primitive grind core bands from bid 80’s. Yet there are

lots of great intros and samples from great movies like “Zombie”,

“Gates of Hell” or “Wizards of Gore”, and

songs which shall be remembered for ages. Still one step from

the complete perfection of “Horror of the Zombies” but

a fucking masterpiece nonetheless. Pure art grown on festering

flesh.
