Friday Morning Metal – Nunslaughter – Unsacrament

Happy Friday, here’s some Nuns Laughter, with Unsacrament. I’m sure it’s Nun Slaughter, but Nuns Laughter just seems fun. These guys have been shredding all over since 1987, bringing what they call Devil Metal to the masses. Their themes are Satanism, Death, Anti-Christianity, and Blasphemy. So pretty on the nose there for their self-proclaimed genre.

There’s not much laughing in this song, but there is a lot of shredding. The song kicks off with frenetic drums and super shreddy guitars. The main melody is pretty interesting, and would be a great backdrop to smashing watermelons with a microwave. The vocals are pretty growly, and definitely fit in with the vibe of devil metal. There’s a killer breakdown toward the end, a perfect spot for big slow headbanging. Oh dang the breakdown ends with them saying they shit on god. I doubt god would enjoy that. Or maybe they do. Who am I to judge!

The video itself is mostly tour and live footage, which is fun. They got a ton of fans who really dig what they’re doing. And it looks like they play a ton of festivals big and small. I guess that’s what happens when you’ve been shredding for 40 some years. I wonder if they ever did an April Fools’ Day joke about changing their name to Nuns Laughter and their style to like… religious parody songs. I bet they’d do a killer cover of Jesus is a Friend of Mine.

Friday Morning Metal – Vomitory – For Gore and Country

Coming in hot, here’s some Swedish death metal, it’s For Gore and Country by Vomitory. These guys have been melting faces since 1989 and getting people to say Vomitory in casual conversation. Their themes are death, gore, war, violence, and anti-religion. I’m pretty sure this song has four out of five. Unless zombies are anti religious, then it’s a clean sweep!

There’s no intro to this song, just a straight wall of metal kicking you in the solar plexus. The main riff is pretty catchy; I bet it would’ve fit right into a Pantera song just as well as this song. I wonder if they named the band Vomitory because the vocalist sounds a bit like he’s hurking, or if that was a happy coincidence. It is nice that despite being death metal, the lyrics are relatively easy to understand. No solo in this track, but it’s also three and a half minutes long.

The video cuts between the band playing in a subway station and an animated zombie horde attacking an army. Sometimes they do some rad closeups on the band members, so you can see the bassist playing the E string over and over. The rotting horde zombie really messes up the army. I don’t know why they’d send an army into a zombie town like that, seems like a bad move all around. And it’s borne out by the zombies eating a ton of them. Also kinda wild that Youtube isn’t like “hey are you old enough to watch this?”
