Ulcer's latest album "Rules" is a brutal and unrelenting assault on the senses. From the opening track "Slaughter", the listener is confronted with a wall of distorted guitars and thunderous drums that set the tone for the rest of the record.
The band's sound is a mix of classic death metal and grindcore, with elements of punk and hardcore thrown in for good measure. The songs are short and to the point, with no time wasted on unnecessary frills or gimmicks. Tracks like "Rot in Hell" and "Bleed Out" showcase the band's ability to write catchy, riff-driven songs that are sure to get heads banging.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "The Struggle", which features a guest appearance from legendary death metal vocalist Chris Barnes (Six Feet Under, Cannibal Corpse). Barnes' guttural growls add an extra layer of brutality to an already intense song.
