Low Twelve – Splatter Pattern (2010)

Today we have one of the shittiest albums we have reviewed in quite a while. Low Twelve patter is a Death Metal band hailing from Illinois that has been around for quite a while, but display an impressive lack of ideas and musical abilities in “Splatter Pattern”.

Fro over one hour and 14 songs we have been subjected to a very painful Death Metal that sounds very bad might be the promo quality of just the recording facilities the band used, but in general the sound is very terrible. The vocals don’t help either, featuring a mixture of drowsy screams and some spoken sections; they have a metalcore-ish feeling to them that is downright terrible when combined with the Death Metal riffing of this release.

There are some decent ideas in a few sections, but they quickly get drowned by the heavy riff-cycling the band does in this release. The only thing we like about this release are the politically inspired lyrics and samples used in the release, but the presentation ruins them for us. If you are making a statement, at least make sure it’s surrounded by decent music. We will recommend you to stay away from this release since it features nothing new or interesting and the sound is just terrible.
