This band finds a great blend between the dead ahead thrash rhythms of Slayer and the more southern rock oriented sound of Pantera. There are a lot of death metal fills tossed in as well, they remind me of Leprosy era Death at times. The vocals have a harsh and raw feel to them, while not growls, they definitely have a similar level of aggression and sheer hatred. Something that is a pleasure to headbang to but also great to mosh along with Hand of Death is a powerful and enduring record that showcases solid songwriting and a shocking mix of groove, evil, and speed.
To sum it up, Hand of Death shows a band who are ready to be starting circle pits across the globe. From the spiralling riffs of Lusk to the sheer horror of the titular Hand of Death Dead Cowboy's Sluts have managed to create an impressive record that shows a band who seem truly ready to take their music to the next level. This band has a great sense of how to make crushing riffs and fuse them with a mix of crazed solos and punishing breakdowns. Already a great live act, I can't wait to see where they take their sound in the future!
