A band hailing from my home city of Coventry and based out of an address just around the corner from the school at which they attempted to educate this pitiful scribe eons ago. Despite this massive handicap, the summer of 2003 witnessed Out For Blood hatch from the seed of Fume - briefly as Killing Styles - before haemorrhaging onto the flourishing West Midlands metal scene with gigs-a-plenty, as well as spawning this professionally produced demo. “Piss Soaked Wrench” opens with a familiar punky/hardcore riff played at speed, but things soon shift to a loose doomcore sound with a further slowdown into an awesome downtuned, lead-laden riff that rips off an arm and beats you with the soggy end! “Beg, Borrow or Steal” doesn’t try and mislead, it takes the dimly lit route though a quagmire of murkiness, dragging headless corpses into bone-filled corners and leaving a heady stench of something evil. It’s predominantly a sludgy, grinding sound. This is dark, gloomy and crushingly heavy, mixing breakneck passages with slow pulverizing agony in the Mistress, Charger and Iron Monkey mould. There are echoes back to early Sabbath and the slower passages often bring Candlemass to mind. The scathing, full-on, screaming vocals are of Raging Speedhorn proportions, with murderous intentions. Sadly, there are only two tracks and there needs to be more. This character-full sound of awesome riffs, pounding rhythms and catchy hooks create a sludge-fest of marauding mayhem worthy of greater attention. Watch out for further material on a new EP that may give a more comprehensive idea of just what they are capable of.
