I think we can cut right to the chase when it comes to a Nunslaughter release. For about four decades the band has been playing the same old school Death Metal with an ever so slight Black Metal edge, churning out an ungodly (pun intended) amount of EPs, Splits and live recordings, alongside a handful of full-lengths while they were at it. Every song has the same formula, and there’s no way that will ever change. Add to that ‘Fuck Christ’, a 7” EP with a title that pretty much sums up all the band stands for. Though this release is not their first time collaborating with Wolfkult Religion, this is the.first time the Irish of Massacre Productions join in on the fun as well.
So what does this EP offer us then? I’m not sure if the die hard Nunslaughter collector actually cares about that question and will buy it anyway, but the answer is: five tracks recorded in Sonia, Cambridge MA somewhere in 2024. The tracks here mostly find their origins in the first part of the 2000’s, to be precise ‘I Saw Your God Die’, ‘Cryptic Aeon’, ‘Banished’ and ‘Ouija’ all fall in that category. The exception is the “newbie” in the tracklist, ‘Three Nails One Liar’ from 2014’s ‘Angelic Dread’. Perhaps only ‘Banished’ is a bit of a rarity, but all the others have been featured on numerous occasions, so the question is rather, what can we expect from these live recordings? Well most importantly, they capture Nunslaughter in their current form. Raw, energetic, and musically pretty damn tight. Needless to say, this material is much less refined production wise, and the recordings are definitely on the raw side of the spectrum. It actually does what it’s supposed to do, and that is to bring that live setting to the turn table, teleporting you straight from your home speaker to the PA at the venue. If I”m honest, this is the way Nunslaughter should be experienced, with a touch of filth and sweat dripping off the sound making it even more unpolished.
With typical short, thumping and aggressive tracks, ‘Fuck Christ’ literally offers nothing new. Well, besides different recordings of songs that you probably already have multiple times on one of their many releases. But you know that won’t stop you from getting this EP. This is one for the diehard Nunslaughter fans, but also casual admirers of the sympathetic Americans. One simply can’t have too many Nunslaughter records.
