Hailing from the blood-soaked soil of Italy, Fulci has spent the last few years becoming the undisputed heavyweights of death metal’s cinematic obsession. Since dropping the massive "Duck Face Killings" in 2024, these guys have been touring like possessed maniacs and worshiping at the altar of cult horror. They don’t just play riffs; they bleed the aesthetic of 1980s celluloid gore. Now, they’ve teamed up with director Domenico Montixi to score a short film that mashes together the rot of the living dead with the dusty, bleak vibes of a Spaghetti Western. It is a weird, violent world they live in, and we are just along for the ride.
"Risorsero Dalla Tomba E Fu… L’Apocalisse!" is a strange beast that proves these Italians have more than just caveman riffs in their arsenal. The music shifts between those haunting, synth-driven textures that make you feel like a zombie is watching you from the shadows and the actual neck-snapping metal we expect from them. It is short, it is focused, and it sounds like it was recorded in a basement filled with old VHS tapes and rotting meat. The vibe is heavy on the atmosphere, dragging you into a Lovecraftian nightmare before hitting you with the actual hammer of death metal.
When the metal actually kicks in on "Paura Che Uccide", it is pure, disgusting bliss. This isn't about being technical or showing off; it is about that groove that makes you want to wreck everything in the room. The guitars have that thick, disgusting tone that 20 Buck Spin bands do better than anyone else right now. It is a short burst of violence that reminds everyone why this band is currently ruling the underground. They have a way of making every note sound like it is covered in cemetery dirt without losing the actual hooks that keep the songs stuck in your brain.
The real surprise comes with "Apoteosi Del Mistero". Covering a legend like Fabio Frizzi is a ballsy move, but adding Nate Garrett into the mix for some guest vocals gives it a different flavor. It stays true to the eerie, cult-classic spirit of "City Of The Living Dead" while injecting that heavy metal DNA. It shows that Fulci actually understands the source material they worship. They aren't just wearing the shirt; they are living the movies. The blend of acoustic parts and rhythm guitars creates a tension that feels like the final standoff in a movie where nobody walks away alive.
This single is a cool stopgap while we wait for the next full-length destruction. It is a specialized release for the die-hards, especially those who showed up for Fulcicon 2 or the Decibel Magazine Tour. If you want a full hour of blast beats, you might be confused, but if you live for that intersection of "Giallo" horror and Cannibal Corpse worship, this is essential. It is a stylish, morbid, and loud-as-hell tribute to the godfather of gore that keeps the band’s momentum rolling at high speed.
Damage done @: 7.5
