In contrast to NC's shrill, cut-and-paste madness, they play a bottom-heavy mix of gore-filled Grindcore and grooving, southern-fried Death Metal. The former part of the equation comes through more heavily on their Relapse debut, 1996's <I>Yeest</I> (actually a compilation of two previous releases), as their music revealed a prominent early Napalm Death/Carcass influence. The subsequent <I>Str8 Outta Northcote</I> (1998), on the other hand, finds their hillbilly roots showing through to a much fuller extent. They've never taken themselves too seriously -- just look at their song titles -- but neither do they let things devolve into pure campiness. - Will YorkDeath Metalen720Fri, 1 Jan 2010 18:04:41 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.4057&rws=%2Fblood-duster%2Fmusic-videos.rss Australia's Blood Duster take their name from a song by John Zorn's Naked City but a tribute band they are not.
