SLOW DEATH, (The) S/T (2008) CD

Local heroes don't always get the recognition they deserve while they're still breathing, and Australian death/doom has always been particularly good at suffering in obscurity. Slow Death are part of that quiet, brutal tradition.

This self-titled record from 2008 is a product of the Australian underground at its most uncompromising, dragging death metal's aggression through doom's slow-motion grief and coming out the other side with something genuinely heavy. No frills, no crossover ambitions, just the kind of record that rewards patience and punishes distraction. Supporting local is always the right call, and this one earns it on pure weight alone.
