LOGISTIC SLAUGHTER has been around for a while having formed in 2008 in the San Francisco Bay Area city of Livermore, CA with the lineup of Jeremy Scott (vocals), Mike Flory (guitar), Kayvan Safdari (bass) and Kendric DiStefano (drums). Starting out as a brutal slam death metal band with two demos under their belt, the noisemakers from the burbs finally released their debut album CORROSIVE ETHICS which took on another form of brutality, this time the pummeling progressive time signatures run amok in the form of technical death metal without sacrificing a bit of the head smashing decibalage that came before.

As time goes on it’s utterly amazing how far the extremities of death metal can be pushed with stuff like this making old school Obituary and Bolt Thrower like grade school noise. With the frenetic dexterity of Atheist along with the in-yer-face extreme bombast of bands like Suffocation, LOGISTIC SLAUGHTER has logistically calculated how to up the ante a bit and make an album that is both brutal and technical and yet still resides within the thralls of accessibility with riffs that chug like a muthafucker at dizzying speeds but often exist at mid-tempo just to take a little breather.

The most over the top feature of CORROSIVE ETHICS is the pig squeal vocals run amok from Jeremy Scott who has mastered the art of turning those squeals into a bonafide death metal variation of vocals much like Inquisition forged a new path with those creepy croaking sounds. This album of ten tracks that just misses the 34 minute mark is chock full of tech death guitar wizardry, bantering bass abuse and explosive percussive fury like no other. This band is truly at the top of the list when it comes to excessive bombast and freakishly focused ferocity. While brutal as fuck, this band also knows how to slow things down a bit to craft some contrast lest the listener be bored.

If you can’t get enough of this brutal to the max type of death metal and Splattered, Cephalic Carnage, Cattle Decapitation, Defeated Sanity and Wormed aren’t enough for ya, well here’s another band to add to the list of extreme as fuck metal bands that deliver an uncompromising mix of technical gymnastics in full brutal death metal regalia. This band almost borders on mathcore at times but also can chug along normal riffs in old school death metal manners. This is a winner and i love it! Seasoned musicians who know how to craft clever compositions without sacrificing what makes tech and brutal death so fucking nasty sounding! The grindcore piggie vocals just make it all the better. Squeal on!
