Bunuh – The Torso Killers

These guys seem to be a very confused bunch. Looking at their artwork and song titles you would expect some gory brutal death metal, yet when you look at the picture of these five masked guys, you’ll see one guy sporting a Dimmu Borgir tee and also attired in spike belts. Then you listen to the music itself, and it turns out to melodic death/thrash.
But what the fuck were they ever thinking when they named one of their songs “Raining Blood”? Bunuh’s music does not hold up half a candle in front of the legendary Slayer song, and such impertinence deserves a tight slap in the face. The music mostly consists of tried and tested and rehashed thrash riffs and lackluster drumming. The growling vocals give the whole thing a death metal feel, but lack any kind of power to make them sound captivating. There are two bonus songs that were supposedly recorded by the previous band that these guys were part of, and the second one, “Psychiatric Disorder,” is the only song on this MCD that crosses the barely-decent mark. Now there is an asterisk next to the song title and I don’t know what that is supposed to mean. Maybe it’s a cover and not their own song. Whatever. I’ll stay away from Bunuh until they get some fresh ideas for their music and songtitles, coz right now they bore the shit out of me.
