This gastrointestinal disaster of a CD is utterly macabre. "Dead Rising" is grindcore done the way it should be. Tight as fuck and full of catchy rhythmic chants of guttural devastation, and I don't care if you think you've heard it all before, there is narry a dull moment listening to any of these 12 little diddies. These guys have been busy the last couple of years, doing EP's, splits, comps, tributes, but "Dead Rising" which is due out October 2007 (this month) on Wormblud Records is their first full-length. Among The Decayed are from Portland and with this release they will no doubt put some gore into the state of "Goregon." Their brand of oldschool grindcore is flying in the face of tree-hugging peaceniks everywhere. The nightmare is real and it is called Among The Decayed and after listening to "Dead Rising," you will fear Freaky Jesus!
