Album Description
Available in:
Rigor Mortis did a reunion in 2003 and re-reformed from 2005 to 2012, following the death of their guitarist Mike Scaccia: actually, the original band is permanently over, with the death of singer Bruce Corbitt in 2019, while a different act with other members named Wizards of Gore is sporadically active live. Rigor Mortis’ third and final album, 2014’s Slaves to the Grave, was recorded when Mike Scaccia was still alive, playing guitar and producing the record. On a qualitative level, some of the album’s cuts don’t resemble in any way in any way to Rigor Mortis’ typical material: instead, “Poltergeist” is a professional Gothic Metal cut with evocative solo passages, “The Infected” features an hilarious shredding Speed/Power Metal introduction, “Flesh for Flies” is a full foray into Drop D-tuned Death Metal and “Sacramentum Gladiatorum” and “Ludus Magnus” are two showy Progressive Rock cuts in the vein of Ex Deo/Septicflesh dedicated to ancient Roman gladiators. Though the rest of the songwriting is typical Thrash Metal, the production is many times clearer, mostly even slower than their past material, and sometimes even catchy (“Fragrance of Corpse”). The album is a snapshot of how the band sounded during their temporary comeback, and shows a bunch of old-school metalheads doing their typical job with some aces in their sleeves worth being showed. All in all, it’s an inconsistent, but pleasurably adventurous Traditional Metal album that showed the band probably could have something left to say, had not fate crushed their hopes.
