Søren Jensen and Nicholas Maschøln, who are 2 you all should now for their stint in their former band Corpus Mortale, have once again joined forces, after leaving that band, in their new gang Six String Slaughter, where they have enrolled Daniel Wilkens, who most recently has screamed his lungs out in Deadicated.
The attack on 'The World Slaughter EP' is quite varied, a nice and well proportionated blend of old school and more modern groovy death metal. Well written and pretty catchy tunes with good hooks, some nice melodic riffs in between the heavier or darker riffs. Darkness can be found in massive amounts in the heavy and quite crushing 'Emotional Darkness', though some more power and emphasis on the guitar riff in the middle of the track would have slain a bit harder. There are a lot of nice guitar work, the bass is also well played, when it pops up to the surface and is audible. The drumming is straight on and fitting and lays a good bottom for the different parts, very precise and effective, though not as technical as we before have heard from Maschøln's hands and feet.
The vocals are haunted, it ranges from a deep growl to an angered growled scream full of despair and frustration, a good and emotional performance that hits the listener deep. The well-delivered music with the vocals on top, together with some great working shifting atmospheres, death metal as it should sound and groovy more modern screamy parts, works well and gives us 5 tracks with some good elements, though played safe as well, some more raw power and wildness and a little bit of thinking outside the box will add the kick ass moments, that this release is missing.
