Sarcosuchus have put De-Extinction online in full, three days before Horror Pain Gore Death release it on 13 November.
They are from Long Island, which is where slam was invented, and the three names they offer as reference points are the three you would expect from that postcode: Internal Bleeding, Pyrexia and Suffocation. Underneath the slams the writing is older than that, closer to plain death metal, which is what keeps the record from being only a sequence of drops.
The band told Decibel the album has years of work behind it and promised a balance of old school death metal with a whole lot of slams, which is an accurate description and also the shortest review anyone will write of it.
As we wrote when the date was set, this is their debut, five years after they formed. The cover has a crocodile the size of a bus on it and the song titles are about what the cover suggests.
Streaming now, out properly on Friday.
