DEAD COWBOY’S SLUTS “The Hand Of Death”

DEAD COWBOY’S SLUTS
”The Hand Of Death”
(M&O Music)
The band name doesn’t sit nicely in my mouth. There is something to it that doesn’t work for me. I can’t put my finger on what it is that bothers me about the name. That aside this French band could very well end up on my top list of French metal bands that you ought to keep an eye out for. One of my latter day discoveries are Legion Of The Damned. I totally dig their full on thrash metal assault. The no pardon beat down that is a really great thrash metal album. Dead Cowboy’s Sluts are of that kind too. This is take no prisoners, full on metal that will leave nobody into foot stomping mosh metal untouched. This is what I imagined Pantera would have sounded like had they picked up the pace. Nowhere up to the standard of Legion Of The Damned but sure chasing them close by this turned out to be time well spent. Anders Ekdahl
