Review: Sabertooth Zombie – …And Your Fathers Are Dead In the Ground
Sabertooth Zombie – …And Your Fathers Are Dead In the Ground (2009) [Twelve Gauge] // Grade: B+
The blurring lines between Hardcore and Doom/Stoner Metal are becoming almost as widespread as they did in the 90s with Hardcore and Metal and it’s demon spawn Metalcore. As of yet no ones coined a term for it as far as I know, but I guess Doomcore is already taken?
…And Your Fathers Are Dead in the Ground, Sabertooth Zombie’s 2nd full length takes a lot more creative chances than 2006′s Midnight Venom that are quite rewarding. Like punch in the face of Hardcore bravado with the bluesy pentatonic swagger of traditional Stoner/Doom Metal, …And Your Fathers not only calls to mind traditional punk ethos, but proves that there are still a lot of ways to skin a cat. The outro track ends fittingly with a sample of Bill Hicks’ Amusement Park Ride routine over the decaying feedback of the album’s incessant assault… much like Hicks, Sabertooth Zombie are a crude and entertaining soothsayers in the face of utter banality.
