MOLDER - Vanished Cadavers (CD)

Molder’s debut full-length Vanished Cadavers is a triumphant slab of old-school death metal grime, brimming with bone-scraping riffs, gut-churning grooves, and just enough off-kilter charm to make it stand out from the pile of OSDM worship. Hailing from Illinois, the trio—Aaren Pantke (guitar/vocals), Dominic Vaia (bass), and Kyle Poole (drums)—carve out a sound that’s both reverential and refreshingly energized, channeling the murk of early Autopsy with the stomp of Obituary and the filthy groove of Cianide.
