Hard to pick a single track to share from this album as each one is like 2 mins long, the titles of each track are repeatedly barked respectively, and there’s a shit load of cacophony throughout. But it’s such a good time - it’s fun as hell lol. Loud, short and to the point, these guys combine death/thrash with hardcore and punk and it’s very simplistically brutal. I’d imagine their entire set during a show is just a constant pit. I discovered this band from Chicago through a “similarity” to Lair of the Minotaur, and while the vibe can be a little similar, Ready for Death are off doing their own thing.

Woah, excellent find, this is some fist pumping shit. It’s VERY much inspired by Lair, (it’s not even subtle) but they went in a more crusty direction and I kinda love that.
My secret to finding all this different stuff is mainly the “Similar Artists” tab on each band’s metal archives page, click each one and find out which are on streaming services and go on a little excursion lol. There have been many nights where I go down these rabbit holes for hours at a time, mining for diamonds. Not every search yields stuff presentable in my opinion, but that is how I found the sludge/thrash mix that I’ve been posting recently and it turns out it’s some of my favorite stuff now.
The similarities between LotM and this band are rather apparent upon doing a little more research - LotM and RfD both had members in the instrumental post-rock band Pelican so I imagine they definitely influenced each other.
