CoC : PCP - Evil Hate Motherfucker : Review

PCP - _Evil Hate Motherfucker_
(Independent, 2001)
by: Adrian Bromley (7 out of 10)

While California act PCP play death metal with a real brutal and heavy edge to it, there is a definite groove going on within the music of _EHM_ as well, bringing some diversity to their attack. The guitar riffs are tight and the drumming is fast and furious, good characteristics to have when you want your death metal to serve up a punch. Mammoth bass player / singer Nate Clark growls like there is no tomorrow on tracks like "Mr. Issimo" and "Hypocrisy, Lies and Deceit", but his real work can be found on the cool "Volatile Ghost". Fans of the Bay Area thrash/death metal scene will find something appealing in the music of PCP as the band pushes all the right buttons in making a record move metal fans with such force it could knock over a trailer park. No doubt better production would have earned them a higher mark, but hey, this still rocks heavy on us!
