"The turning inside out of Death’s first two albums is in good hands here." - Decibel Magazine
"Absolutely kick-ass in its own right, but also an authentic form of homage to Death." - No Clean Singing

GRUESOME's debut 'Savage Land' is an intentional homage to the first wave death metal scene of Tampa, Florida, specifically Death's early period.  GRUESOME is much more than a tribute band though.  Led by Matt Harvey (of Exhumed, Matt was the vocalist and guitarist on the original Death To All tour) and rounded out by a band comprised of members of Possessed, Malevolent Creation, and Derketa, GRUESOME sound like they were plucked right out of 1988.  This is an absolutely top notch filthy slab of old school death metal, played by the some of the scene's most legit players.
