Spewtilator’s new tape entitled Get Conjured is seriously one of the coolest releases. It’s composed of the following tunes:

• Super Ghouls N Ghosts
• Spacebag
• Zombear
• Grave Digger

All the songs rule and are filled with gnarly riffs and super shredding solos. The first song, Super Ghouls N Ghosts gives a metal rendition of the ‘91 SNES video game. The next song on the tape brings the mysterious arrival of a party package from space. Zombear is one of Spewtilator’s older songs and depicts the story of “nature’s most brutal design”. The tape ends with Grave Digger and leaves you wanting for more. The songs fly by fast and leaves you with a hardcore thrill.

Local Atlanta/Athens death metal band, Living Decay released their first E.P. Entitled Doomed to Last over the summer. It follows their first demo Filled with Rot. Quickly, the band consists of:

• Dylan Martin-Guitar
• David Prae-Guitar/Back-Up Vocals
• Matt Scott-Bass
• Rob Russell-Drums/Vocals

The E.P. consists of fast solos, heavy riffs, and gets your head banging for more tunes from these guys. Doomed to Last depicts what true death metal is all about. The songs on the E.P. are disgusting (in a good way) and filled with gore. The songs are:

• Doomed To Last
• Acid Bath
• Vomit
• Snapped

The E.P. definitely shows the progress that the band has made throughout the last year and a half from their first release. Guitarist David Prae feels that “The material on Doomed to Last is much more of a whole band effort…every song on Doomed to Last has at least some flavor from everyone. In turn, I feel Doomed to Last represents Living Decay (more than Filled with Rot) in how we approach our music as a single disgusting mass. And hopefully we will continue to be able to refine ourselves to make even better and more repulsive offerings in the future.”

I certainly can’t wait to hear what the band brews up next.

To listen to Living Decay, visit their website HERE.

To check them out, head out to WonderRoot in Atlanta on Thursday, October 19th. They’ll be playing with Atlanta locals Doomed Youth, In Ruins, and Boston natives Ramming Speed. The show starts at 8 PM and costs 6 bucks!

Get your copy of Doomed to Last today my visiting their myspace.

Since 585 Wells St.’s hiatus, Atlanta metal and punk bands have been hitting up various venues around town. On Saturday, October 16th, Jack’s Pizza hosted a very thrashin’ show that featured Atlanta natives Spewtilator, Death of Kings, and Withered. The show started off with Spewtilator playing some of the fastest tunes mankind has ever heard. They tore the place up. There was barely any room to stand around and somehow the crowd managed to mosh and crowd surf. Death of Kings played only a quick three song set because the drummer got into some trouble prior to the show. Withered’s drummer stepped up to fill in, just after listening to the three songs on the way to Jack’s Pizza. The night ended with Withered’s set. They will be hitting the road on the Blackest of the Black tour featuring the almighty Danzig, death metal legends Possessed, Marduk, and Toxic Holocaust.
