St. Louis extremists Vampire Mooose are anything but your average metal beast. Fusing death metal brutality and raw hardcore intensity with abstract, progressive arrangements and free-jazz freakouts, the band is unorthodox, unrelenting and utterly unpredictable. Their Rotten Records debut is an insane cross-breeding of Meshuggah, Dillinger Escape Plan and Obituary-style sonic terror tactics only weirder and more vicious. They call it "rawkus," and it will rock your world.
