Rawhide/Murder One/PATAC/2013 CD Review

 Rawhide  are  a b and  from  Sweden  that  contains  former  members  of  Bestial Mockery  with  a  musical  style  I  would  describe  as  being  death  punk'n'roll  and  this  is  a  review  of  their 2013  album  "Murder  One"  which  was  released  by  PATAC.

  "City  Kids"  begins  with  some  heavy  old  school  style  guitar  riffs  which  leads  up to  some  drums,  bass  guitars  and  70's  style  guitar  solos and  leads  and  then  the  music  goes  into  a  hardcore  punk  direction  along  with  some  gruff  sounding  vocals  which  also  utilizes  some  punk  rock  elements.

   ''Damage  Done" begins  with  some  old  school  style  hardcore  punk  riffs  and  then t he  drums  and  aggressive  vocals  start  kicking  in  and  towards  the  end  there  is  a  brief  use  of  Motorhead  style  guitar  solos  and  leads.

  "My  Final  Hell"  begins  with  some  guitar  riffs  and  drums  and  after  a  few  seconds  the  aggressive  vocals  start  kicking  in  and  midway  into  the  song  there  is  a  brief  use  of  guitar  solos  and  leads  being  utilized  as  well  as  some  spoken  word  parts.

   ''Habit  To  Support"  begins  with  some  old  school  rock'n'roll  riffs  before the  drums  and  vocals  kick  in  along  with  some  guitar  solos  and  leads  and  then  the  music  goes  for  more  of  a  metal/punk  rock  sound.

  "On  The  Attack"  begins  with  some  heavy  old  school  punk  rock  guitar  riffs  and  drums which  leads  up  to some  old  school  punk/metal  vocals  along  with  some  guitar  solos  and  leads  as  well  as  some  powerful  bass  guitars.

  "Cut  You  Down"  begins  with  some  primitive  guitar  riffs, drums  and  punk  rock  style  vocals  which  utilize  alot  of  aggressive  elements  and  after  a  while  there  is  a  brief  use  of  powerful  bass  guitar  and  guitar  solos  and  leads.  

  'Sanitarium  Blues"  begins  with  some  guitar  riffs  and  leads  which  leads  up  to  the  drums  and  vocals  making  their  presence  known  in  the  song  and  the music  on  this  song  is  very  heavy  and  old  school  sounding.

  "Out  For  Kicks"  begins  with  some  melodic  guitar  riffs  and  drums  and  then  the  music  goes  into  a  heavier  and  faster  direction  along  with  some  aggressive  sounding  vocals  and  midway  through  the  song  there  are  some  powerful  bass  guitars  being  utilized  before  the  song  starts  adding  in  some  solos  and  leads.

  'Branded  For  Life"  begins  with  some  drums  which  lead  up  to  some  guitar  riffs  and  powerful  bass  guitars  and  then t he  aggressive  sounding  vocals  start  kicking  in  and  towards  the  end  there  are  some  powerful  bass  and  guitar  leads  being  utilized.

  Song  lyrics  cover  blood,  guts,  beer  and  tainted  ladies,  while  the  production  has  a very  strong,  powerful,  heavy  and  old  school  sound  where  you  can  hear  all  of  the  musical  instruments  that  are  present  on  this  recording.

  In  my  opinion  Rawhide  are  a  very  great  sounding  death  punk'n'roll  band  and  if  you  are  a fan  of  this  musical  genre,  you  should  check  out  this  album.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "City  Kids"  "Habit  To  Support"  "Sanitarium  Blues"  and  "Branded  For  Life".  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
