BLOODBATH - Breeding Death CD

Bloodbath was formed on the sole purpose of bringing back old-school death metal. This is their only release that has really captured the essence of old-school death metal. Not to say the other releases are bad, but this EP captures the true sound of old-school death metal than any other Bloodbath releases. So Bloodbath started out on the right track with this EP but took the band in a different direction afterwards. Mind you, it wasn’t like they were switching to a totally different genre, but instead they were just slightly altering the sound. It can be compared to Cannibal Corpse’s sound change when George became the new vocalist. Of course in Bloodbath’s case, the change wasn’t necessarily for the worse.

This is definitely not an EP to pass by. The only obvious problem with this EP is that it is only 14 minutes long. I am aware it is an EP, but even for an EP that is still rather short. Nevertheless, a hell of a lot of material is packed in those 14 minutes. That being said, this might be purchased after you have listened to other Bloodbath albums to ensure you can appreciate their style before you fork out $7 for three songs.
