We Came for the Dead!!! is Ghoul's 2002 debut album released by Razorback Records. The lyrics in this album are based on the stories of the three band members (Dissector joined Ghoul after the release of We Came for the Dead!!!), as well as the introduction of their conspirator, Mr. Fang.

Album Reviews:
This is an album that makes death metal and thrash proud. This is pure metal worship, paying homage to bands like Carcass, Death, and Megadeth. Catchy thrash riffs that gives you the urge to violently thrust your head back and forth. You could really hear the old school Anthrax and Megadeth influence in the riffing. Three different vocals attacks: the decipherable growly Carcass-style vocals, deep thick death metal growls, and those inhuman gurgles coming from the bellows of a monster. Drums never get all blurry, that's a good thing. You could hear the clear pounding unlike in a lot of other death/grind bands that do nothing but blindly throw in sloppy blast beats just because they can. There's solos in just about every song, not the most technical but damn good and still requires guitar shredding skill, works with their formula of simple old school hardcore thrash modified with the intense elements of death metal. Easy to get caught up in their infectious grooves, which they produce continuously. The intros some of the songs have got a creepy Halloween atmosphere. There really isn't anything to complain about, they give you all the solid qualities you want in metal: Good riffs, good solos, good drumming, good growls, good everything, nothing to bitch about. If you haven't heard Ghoul yet, you have no idea what you're missing. Death metal, grind/splatter/gore, thrash, hell, maybe even power metal fans, can salute Ghoul for this pure metal masterpiece that reminds us all of why we love metal in the first place. Gotta love that violent comic-style album cover too.


GHOUL - We Came For The Dead !!! (Razorback Records~2002)
Wow ! This is top notch Gore Death that has a good amount of humour and skill involved. The band, who has taken a liking to the old style horror movie themes, is made up of three guys who all take on vocal duties providing a multi faceted arrangement of gurgling, throaty and rough growls. The guitar excellence is demonstrated by the fact that not only is it full and crunchy but you also get some kick ass solos throughout ! These guys pay homage to some of the top Death / Grind bands (CARCASS, AUTOPSY, MACABRE) and do it damn well ! As an added bonus they also manage to spice up MEGADETH´s 'Skull Beneath The Skin'. So, if you miss CARCASS (especially, as I see the strongest influence coming from them) and love quality Death / Grind then don´t hesitate for a minute to head to http://www.razorbackrecords.com and order yourself this latest release by the undead. An outstanding album !
