Long Island sextet Dr. Acula have come a long way since the ôparty grindö of Below Me and The Social Event Of The Century. Their music is slower and heavier now, moving into the chest-beating deathcore territory of Emmure, the Acacia Strain and Chelsea Grin. The movie and TV dialogue samples that have riddled all their releases are still there, of course, spicing things up and adding an additional layer of satirical biteùas though an album with a song called ôCocaine Avalancheö needs more jokes. It doesnÆt, not when itÆs got riffs this potent. Slander is more than just a parade of sludgy breakdownsùthe party synths add some texture, but so do the occasional bursts of pop-punk and even melodic death-metal riffage on tracks like ôPure And Immature Goonö and ôWho You Gonna Call?!ö ThereÆs a passage toward the end of the latter track that could have come from a Black Dahlia Murder album. With Slander, Dr. Acula have grown from a joke band into a group worth attention and respect, without losing their sense of humor.
