Sounds like death metal....

They're a little harder to get into than most death metal bands. Their sound is harsher, more abrasive. And their look, well, is kinda off-putting.

As opposed to when I see Cannibal Corpse or Pig Destroyer, you can see yourself having a beer and casual chat with them and know underneath all those theatrics they're regular blokes. Heck, even Glen Benton/Deicide is known to be a chill guy despite all the anti-Christian stuff.

I've personally smoked out Bonded by Blood before so I get what you mean there. These guys may actually mean it.

Kinda reminds me of Cattle Decapitation a bit.
