It seems amusing to me that this band has been kicking my ass in the mosh pit since the early 90's at the old Club 367, here in Mizery (Mo). The band has taken a hiatus once upon a time and seemed to be left at the streetside like the St. Louis metal scence. Only to be arisen from beyond their grave and start the brutality once again. Animated Dead is pretty much the only old skool death metal band left in St. Louis.
Animated Dead has released for our sick pleasure a live CD named "Live Of The Dead". It has 10 whiskey drenched and razor blade gargled homages to their brutal gift of death metal, courtesy of Spence Riggle, A.D. frontman and bass. Dont think that because this is live it sucks. Well actually it sucks the joy from my heart and throws me into a rage for a world against me. Jeff Riggle blasts the fuck out of the drums and assists in getting those feet a stomping. You have to appreciate that!!! To bring this madness to a head, you have the master of the guitar, Rik Geib. Rik is the one that seems to me to be the demon invoked to put the circle spin in the pit. There is no reason anyone should not hurt after a Animated Dead show. This CD only reflects part of the pain that they bring to their shows and well worth the $5 bucks to purchase. Pay your respects and remember "Jesus Wept!" Probably cause he couldnt handle the pure hate and power of the Animated Dead!!!
