Corpses - Half Elvis EP

Corpses feral mixture of Converge and Cancer Bats is a furious spectacle in the flesh and comes highly recommended. Understandably, given most young bands limited budgets, this record doesn't entirely communicate the sheer intimidation factor of a Corpses gig, but it does convey the Glaswegian quartet's knack for writing a good song and a great riff. Only on track three, Basement Blues - almost certainly intended to provide a breather amidst the surrounding maelstrom - does this EP drop below a consistently high standard. If these guys can get some money behind them, they have the potential to produce something pretty special.
