Mutilated By Zombies – Scripts Of Anguish CD

“Midwest death metal act Mutilated by Zombies were brought into existence a decade ago to write and play death metal reminiscent of its golden age, which, in this case, seems to be old-school Florida-style death metal, citing Deicide, Monstrosity, Gorguts and Cryptopsy as some of their major influences. The trio succeed in their mission, crafting meat-and-potatoes death metal. There are no frills, no acoustic interludes or ambient introductions; starting with “Decayed Manifestation” and ending with “Rise to Enslave,” Mutilated by Zombies focus on meaty riffs, growled vocals and a machine-like rhythm section.
Mutilated by Zombies don’t reinvent the wheel, nor do they want to; the gore-obsessed crew do an above-average job at dealing angular riffs, deep vocals and blasting at high speeds.”
– Decibel Magazine

“ ….Mutilated By Zombies, carves out their own niche among bands like Dying Fetus, Deeds Of Flesh and Cryptopsy. This is pretty pummeling and soaked in gore worship and my one complaint would be that the overall production comes across as a little flat. Angular riffs, growled vocals that give way to screams keep the songwriting fresh, though, and lend to the whole thing coming across as one complete package. “
– Decibel Magazine, For Those About to Squawk

” ..in a world where the influences of Entombed and Dismember dominate, it’s exciting to see someone focusing on what the label bills as “Traditional Death Metal”. There are sharp angular riffs here and a remarkably full sound given that the band is only a three piece. The punishing assault and twisted burning wreckage of a sound that they have unveiled is mesmerizing to say the least. You find yourself getting pulled into these grandiose and overarching riffs that come screaming for vengeance
Surfacing from the grave, Mutilated By Zombies was created to deliver Death Metal reminiscent of it’s Golden Age. Consisting of vocalist/guitarist Josh DeMuth, bassist Jason Guler, and drummer Greg Mueller, this Iowa three piece will bring US death metal back to the forefront with the release of their new album, Scripts of Anguish.”

“Messier than a six-year-old hopped up on Capri Sun and meaner than your local DMV representative, their third album Scripts of Anguish will take whatever petty emotion you happen to be feeling and make tapioca out of it (and your functioning grey matter). I hope you like it chunky.”
– Angry Metal Guy

” Mutilated By Zombies assembles into a vicious corpse-grinding, war machine and rumbles forth, ready to devour you and anyone else unwise enough to get in its way….”Scripts of Anguish”‘s tale of death and sorrow is almost theatrical in its delivery; a play with the world’s most violent orchestra pit.”
