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?”
