UMUR
"A New Dawn for the Dead" is the 3rd full-length studio album by UK death metal/goregrind act Gorerotted. The album was released through Metal Blade Records in June 2005. It´s the successor to "Only Tools and Corpses" from 2003 and features one lineup change since the predecessor as lead vocalist Mr. Gore has jumped ship, and as a result Gorerotted is down to a quintet on "A New Dawn for the Dead" with only one lead vocalist in Goreskin, although bassist The Wilson also performs some vocals on the album (the high pitched snarling vocals). It would be the last album released under the Gorerotted monicker as the band opted to change their name to The Rotted in 2008.

Stylistically Gorerotted continue their horror/gore themed deathgrind style on "A New Dawn for the Dead". It´s strongly influenced by the early pioneers of the genre like Carcass, Repulsion, and Impetigo, and especially the former and their early goregrind sound is a huge influence. The music varies between blastbeat sections and heavy mid-paced sections and the tracks generally feature a lot of tempo changes and breaks, which make them a relatively varied listen. That´s individually though because if you view the album as a whole the tracks on the album are slightly one-dimensional in nature and they aren´t that easy to tell apart.

The two-vocalist attack works well for Gorerotted, and the deep growling and the higher pitched snarling vocals compliment each other perfectly and make the vocal part of the band´s music pack a punch (although I have to admit missing the almost hysterical and strongly British accented vocals of Mr. Gore). The instrumental part of the music is also well performed, but unfortunately "A New Dawn for the Dead" features a sound production which is a bit lacking. It´s especially the drum production which is a bit thin and clicky, so while "A New Dawn for the Dead" overall features a more clear and detailed sound production compared to the more raw and savage sound productions on the two preceding albums, I much prefer the sound on the two latter releases. Gorerotted´s music simply functions better when it´s packed in a raw sounding production. A 3 star (60%) rating is warranted.
