Rodent Destroyer - Nespurrth (2021)


Even though this project may be considered a joke or even a mockery towards metal music, everybody should know about it. Rodent Destroyer is Human Slave a.k.a. Alister Reed from Pennsylvania, but it's not the end of the line-up as other band members include... Reed's cats. This makes the name of the project as well as all the album and tracks' names making sense and I love it, while, at the same time, Nespurrth is at the same time genuinely enjoyable. 

The cats are vocalists here. And I would have never said that cat meows fit metal music so well. They probably don't perform life but in the album versions, they do brilliantly. They add ferocity to the already utterly crazy and thrilling music here. And it's no exaggeration, the pace is extreme, the guitar sounds are crude and nerve-wrecking (in the lo-fi, very black metal manner) and the songs... very satisfying. Each is delivered with a pun in the title (my favourite being Enslaved by Pawpaganda which I'm not sure cats would actually sing, they would rather be the imposing part here) and with cat (and human) vocals all over the compositions. And an important notice here: even though the project was established only last year, they managed to release the third album already and even change the vocalist, as on Nespurrth it is Zelda not Lord Purr anymore who produces vocal samples.

Nespurrth costs 8 USD.
