### Dead: Hardnaked but... dead!

#### 09/12/11 || Smalley

Oh wow. Oh man. “Hardnaked… but dead!”…? What is that? When rigor mortis makes your corpse-dick hard? Or when your priapism kills you and then sticks around all the way to the grave? Talk about blue balls, eh? Alright, enough juvenile jokes; stupid, failed Swedeath-y titling aside, “Hardnaked” is okay “brutal” death metal with some stupid sounding death growling. The energy’s pretty good, and the production is acceptable enough, but the songwriting still needs work, and those growls get on my nerves. I never got the appeal of 100% incomprehensible growls, like with Lord Worm or on “Winds of creation” or with pig vocals; if you write lyrics, you might as well make some of them comprehensible without having to read anything. Whatever.

5,5/10: It’s aight; they may be better in the future, but not right now.
