UMUR
"The Delta Death Sirens" is an EP release by UK death metal act Slimelord. The EP was independently released in June 2019. Slimelord formed earlier that same year and the material featured on the EP was recorded at Chunk, Leeds, May 2019. Three out of the five members of Slimelord also play in the technical thrash metal act Cryptic Shift.

While there is certainly a technical element to the material featured on "The Delta Death Sirens", Slimelord is a completely different beast to Cryptic Shift. Slimelord play filthy, gloomy, and cavernous sounding old school death metal (often doomy) with the occasional aforementioned technical twist. The gutteral growling vocals are low in the mix and there is an overall claustrophobic, twisted, and oppressive atmosphere surrounding "The Delta Death Sirens".

Slimelord are a well playing unit, and combined with the well sounding production job (I enjoy how audible the bass is in the mix. It´s a nice production choice), and the solid songwriting, "The Delta Death Sirens" is a good quality first release from Slimelord. They would get even better down the road, but this is definitely a promising start to their career. A 3 - 3.5 star (65%) rating is warranted.
