FULCI • Duck Face Killings • LP

20 Buck Spin

For the band's fourth bloodthirsty album and their first for 20 Buck Spin, after making a name for themselves in the death metal underground in recent years, Fulci presents "Duck Face Killings," a tribute to one of Lucio's most atrocious and reviled films, "The New York Ripper."

Musically, Fulci unleashes a flood of captivatingly gruesome riffs, bloody carnage, murderous beats, deep guttural vocal patterns, and eerie intros and interludes. The band's songwriting is deliberately focused on creating the most brutal and sharpest music possible to convey the extreme cruelty of the film, imagining a soundtrack for the most savage and cynical slasher movie of all time.

What is trash to one person is a treasure to another, and this is true for a seedy and abhorrent film like "The New York Ripper." In "Duck Face Killings," Fulci's brutal depiction of his mentor's violent world shines like the glimmer of blood under New York's streetlights, shocking and wild. It is an homage to the controversial master in all his decadent and degenerate splendor.
