SPITER "Bathe The Babe in Bats' Blood"
SPITER "Bathe The Babe in Bats' Blood"
By Dr. Abner Mality
When the miscreants of SHITFUCKER and DEVIL MASTER collide, expect something like SPITER to result. This is violent punk/thrash metal with a Satanic bent and bandmembers who look like KISS meeting the MISFITS in a graveyard.
It's a lot closer to first wave black metal than anything coming out of Europe and the punk roots of the album are unmistakable. On "Foreshadow", there's some MISFITS style "Whoa-oh-oh" crooning although the song is generally more mayhemic than anything Jerry Only's crew ever came up with. "Full Satanic Power" is one song where the more Gothic and post-punk stylings of DEVIL MASTER come to the fore, but even that one speeds up a lot by the end.
It races by in a devilish blur and doesn't overstay its welcome. Even though it's kind of on the juvenile side, it has a lot of good old fashioned blasphemy.
