I AM NO HERO WEBZINE
This Split MCD on No Escape Records exists of 2 goregrind bands: the American murder merchants Splatterhouse and Spain’s cannibalistic monsters Gruesome Stuff Relish.
Splatterhouse delivers 3 solid new songs + a sublime cover of Haemorrhage’s Decom-Posers. Splatterhouse offers you tons of sick goregrind with some death metal. 10 minutes of non-stop headbanging terror. But don’t think it stops with those 10 minutes…
Gruesome Stuff Relish provides 10 minutes of pure cannibalistic goregrind. Extremely destructive drums, powerful guitars, some dead vocals and a blasting bassguitar will probably dissect you into several singular body parts to add to their personal collection of rottened human ornaments.
Expect to be DE-STROY-ED!

INTO-OBSCURITY
When you remove the CD from the backplate in this jewel case, you're greeted with the words "FREAKIN' OUT SPLATTERED GOREGRIND" in big print. Well, I couldn't have said things better myself. Splatterhouse from the West Coast, USA have teamed up with Gruesome Stuff Relish from Spain for this cross-contintental ode to all that is bloody and brutal.
Splatterhouse take the stage first and deliver three songs of early Exhumed worship. Each song is about three minutes long so they really have a chance to develop rather than those grind songs that are over even before begin. The guitars sound like chainsaws and the vocals are scathing. They play a fourth song as well, but it's a cover of Hamorrhage's "Decom-posers". Very fitting.
Gruesome Stuff Relish shorten up the songs a little bit. Each song is in the minute to a minute and a half range and these guys are really just sick and twisted. The sound quality drops off a little on their tracks which I don't appreciate, but musically, they're just as vile as their split-mates. This one sounds more like early Carcass material with a bit of the Napalm Death idea of "do as much as you can in the shortest amount of time". The vocals here are so guttural they sound almost vulgar.
As disgusting as this split may be, it makes me smile. This is what goregrind is all about.
