UMUR
"Cadaveric Poison" is the eponymously titled debut full-length studio album by multi-national death metal act Cadaveric Poison. The album was released through Metal on Metal Records in April 2016. Cadaveric Poison was formed in 2014 by Master frontman/bassist Paul Speckmann, guitarist Simon Seegel, drummer Felix Darnieder. The two latter from German thrash metal act Witchburner. The band released the two-track "Fight for Evil" EP (Daying Victims Productions) in July 2014. Both tracks from the EP have been re-recorded and included on this album.

Stylistically this is thrash infused old school death metal how it sounded in the mid-80s, before the style was even dubbed death metal. So in other words this pretty much sounds like a Master album, and it´s a bit of a mystery why Speckmann opted to record and release this material under the Cadaveric Poison monicker, other than the fact that the other guys in the band haven´t played with Speckmann in Master, but stylistically there are many similarities to the trademark Master sound. The most obvious give-away is of course the raw shouting/semi-growling vocals by Speckmann, but also the simple and rather primitive take on playing death metal with very little variation or dynamics...Master to the bone.

The album is well produced, although the drums are a bit clicky and could have prospered from a more punchy and dark tone, but other than that this is a decent quality release and a 3 star (60%) rating is warranted.
