Gaffed – Die Already - Reviewed By necromance ! check it out https://necromance.eu/gaffed-usa-die-already/

Formed in 1991 under the name BLASPHAMY and after changing the name to RITUAL TORMENT, these Yankees adopted their current name of GAFFED in 1994, and after almost thirty years they present their debut album, which oozes old school Death Metal throughout the pores, but something normal in a band that comes to us from that same time.

“Die Already” offers us seven songs of primitive Death Metal, with a very Yankee sound and proposal, from the nineties, with dense guitars, heavy sound and deep, serious voices. They are not a paragon of technique as a band in general, but I think that is not the intention of the band either, they sound good, powerful, primitive and it seems that we are listening to a recording from the nineties, because the style is just what the band sounded like. Yankee Death Metal in those years. Many changes of rhythm, fast parts that are combined indifferently with other heavier and more rhythmic riffs, or with really crushing and maddening parts. A feast of blood and guts for every good sommelier of these brutal styles. “Human Prey” is beastly, with those redoubled guitars and in different tones, that are mixed with brutal double bass drums and speed in abundance. “Malevolent Butchery” is also another feast of riffs and heaviness, somewhat more rhythmic in its riffs, but without giving our cervicals a total rest either. “Perverse Exhumation” seems to follow this trend of slow and dense riffs, but it surprises us with several truly murderous accelerations. “Plagued With Misery” is another very good song, very rhythmic and with powerful riffs, which even become catchy, making them ideal for headbanging.

Without a doubt, those who long for sounds like those offered by MORPHEUS DESCENDS, SCATTERED REMAINS, CRUCIFIX, EMBALMED, old INTERNAL BLEEDING... will find interesting things here. This is an album that may arrive late in time, or even at the right time for those who still miss the sound of the old Yankee Brutal Death bands, if this is the case, don't hesitate to listen to it. necromance
