Cardiac Arrest – The Stench of Eternity Review
By Steel Druhm
You can’t listen to everything out there and we all have gaps in our metal detection system through which plenty of quality product sluices out. Still, I’m left wondering why I never spent time with Chicago’s death metal maniacs Cardiac Arrest until last week. Active since 2004 and with 7 full-lengths under their belt, this is a Windy City death institution that I completely slept on despite AMG having reviewed their 2018 opus A Parallel Dimension of Despair. On eighth album The Stench of Eternity, these scuzzmongers deliver a nasty sound mixing classic Floridian death with the uglier side of grind and crust and occasional flirtations with meatheaded slam. This brutal brew means you’ll be in for one helluva sick beatdown. That’s a good thing, and maybe a very good thing depending on your bodily durability and appetite for ear destruction. You may want to hold onto something sturdy for emotional support, like a bunker-buster bomb.
After a dramatic intro soundbite about maggots, “Maggot This One” removes your face using rudimentary caveman tools that sound like a hellish blend of Impetigo and early Carcass. Before you can get yourself re-faced, “Victims of the Blasphemy” brings the OSDM cudgel down and mercilessly hammers you with something like Deicide meets Jungle Rot meets Malevolent Creation. You don’t know it yet, but you need this filth pumping through your soon-to-be hardened arteries. The unintentional or suspiciously intentional nod to Slayer’s “Hell Awaits“ at the midpoint is satisfying and gives you a chance to regain some bodily fluids (milk would be a bad choice). This tune is exactly what Steel wants from his OSDM and the ass whippings are just getting started.
There’s a 5-song run here composed of the best death metal I’ve heard this year. Starting with “Bullets are the Only Cure,” Cardiac Arrest brings out the street cleaners with brushes set to “Scrub-a-Dub-Stumprub.” The mid-paced d-beaty chugs are heavy, thick, and as inevitable as Thanos and his fun mitten. Once you’re properly tenderized, the absolute brain fuck of “In the Name of Suffering” rolls over you like an 80-ton Zamboni. With massive chugs and grooves blasting lustily, there’s zero respite from this spectacular piece of leg-day-appropriate abuse. “Born to Be Buried” is like Cannibal Corpse if their collective IQ was reduced to 100, and the shambling death gallop descends into crushing chuggery and insane garbage disposal piggy noises that the whole family can enjoy. And wait til you hear the sick slow-motion mega-chugs that show up midway through “This is How You Die” to mulch your duodenum. With so much winning, how could Cardiac Arrest be stopped? Well, the answer is an on-and-off struggle with bloat. “Means to an End” is a rock-solid song that takes the best ingredients from Autopsy’s puke pâté and shoves them down your throat, but at 6-plus minutes it goes a bit too long. Worse is 11-plus minute closer “From Civilized to Sadistic.” It’s a dandy of a deather with tons of gripping moments, but by the 7-minute mark the bases are well covered and it just hangs around for another 4 minutes eating your lunch meat and rifling through your mail. Shorten these cuts and this clicks up to a GREAT death metal platter immediately. Despite the occasional bloatery, the 48-minute runtime doesn’t feel excessive as most cuts are nasty, brutish, and short. Also, kudos to the production which grants a gnarly tone to the guitars and a huge punch to the drums.
The riffs make the death metal, and Adam Scott and Tom Knizner bring the cargo bepantsed goods in large volumes. Whether they’re going for the throat with d-beaty thrash or pounding you into the Earth’s core with massive grooves, they know how to inflict caveman culture on the sophisticated. The 10-ton chugs that populate most songs feel as essential as oxygen and never get boring. These hellcats are masters at timing too, knowing exactly when to shift gears to keep things fresh and forward-moving. Three band members are credited with vocals and I have no clue who does what, but the combination of harsh styles reminds me of the Symphony of Sickness era of Carcass and everything sounds wonderfully diseased and incurable. The whole package is tight and the crew checks all the boxes while keeping a size 13 boot up your ass. That’s talent, folks.
The sheer intensity of the shellacking I received from this odious hunk of offal brings me back to wondering how I missed the Cardiac Arrest boat as long as I have. I feel great shame about it and I’m now digging through their back catalog with fiendish fervor. If you want a cracked brain and a bruised gallbladder, put your ears on The Stench of Eternity and turn it WAY UP. This is a special kind of ugly… like your Mom! Gottem.

Morta Skuld – Creation Undone Review
By Steel Druhm
Wisconsin’s Morta Skuld have been dragging their nasty cave knuckles for so long, even their fingerprints have worn off. In existence on and off since 1990, these old school warriors have been a fairly reliable if not super prolific source of no-frills, beefbrained death metal. Their early works exuded an oily, swampy charm with a sound ripped from the classic Necrophagia and Obituary deathbooks. Later albums like Wounds Deeper Than Time and 2020s Suffer for Nothing were much more furious, pummeling affairs, with elements of Vader, Malevolent Creation, and Jungle Rot in their flavor profile. The latter was an especially fragrant tomb raid with a collection of riffy, groove-heavy numbers that won the Steel ov Approval though we never gave it a proper review. 2024 sees them returning with the same lineup and overall approach for 7th full-length, Creation Undone and that’s a solid plan in my humble opinion. Can this platter earn Morta Skuld a bigger beak with which to climb the death metal pecking order?
The band do a lot of things right this time out. The album is a concise 44 minutes and songs all sit in a tight 3-5 minute window. Opener “We Rise We Fall” sets the template for what most of the album delivers —bruising, thrashy death with a nasty attitude and a big bat. As the riffs cascade, lock into heavy grooves and pulp your melon, you may be reminded of the salad days of Malevolent Creation. Some of the riffs venture into Morbid Angel territory and Dave Gregor’s death roars have a vague similarity to David Vincent. This is death metal for the old-school set and it’s effective and endearingly thuggish. Quality brutality keeps coming with the extra heavy crushitude of “The End of Reason,” and the romp and curb stomp of “Painful Conflict” smacks of recent Vomitory, which is a good thing indeed.
Track after track showcases Morta Skuld in the best possible light, leading with their strengths while hiding any glaring shortcomings. Later album cuts like “Perfect Prey” and “Soul Piercing Sorrow” bring the hammers to the poser hammering festival, with faint whiffs of Suffocation cropping up here and there to choke the weak. It isn’t until penultimate cut “Oblivion” that their steady hand starts to slip. It’s not even that the song is all that bad. It’s just less on point and skull-shaking than its peer group and it drags on too long. Closer “By Design” is better, but its doomy plod eventually sends my attention span on a beer run despite the Azagthoth-adjacent riffage. The combination of these lesser tracks causes Creation Undone to end on its backfoot rather than attacking with raging wiolence. Drop these two numbers and the album jumps from good to very good quite easily.
Creation Undone benefits greatly from the rock-solid riffery by Dave Gregor and Scott Willecke. Gregor’s been there since the beginning, and newer axe Willecke is a great counterpoint. Most tracks are fueled by pile-driving, bone-crushing leads and powerful grooves that will shake you around like a Dollar Store scarecrow. I can listen to the first 8 tracks and find any number of beefy chugs and phat grooves I appreciate and applaud. They aren’t doing anything the least bit new or innovative, just smoking your ass with vintage death tropes done well and heavily. Meanwhile, Gregor roars at you like a roid-raging psycho and former Jungle Rot skinsman Eric House takes you to the house with a brutal rampage behind the kit. And that makes sense because some of this stuff isn’t all that removed from what those long-running death groove cretins do.
Morta Skuld may never pull themselves up into the upper echelons of the death metal scene, but if they keep churning out stuff like this, I’ll happily consume it in mass quantities and ask for MOAR. Creation Undone pushes no envelopes, gives nothing back to the academic community, and provides no public service of any kind save kicking ass. The high points are quite high and only a few slips toward the end keep this from a better rating. Never let the perfect be the enemy of the good, so give this an obnoxiously loud sample. Rib-cracking fun lurks within.
