Reviews

 The Swiss grindcore institution of EMBALMING THEATRE –
http://www.embalmingtheatre.ch – just published 2 new releases. EMBALMING THEATRE annihilate the
speakers of your stereo with nothing but ultra fast, razor-sharp, merciless grindcore with low growling, guttural vokills – old school
grindcore by the book! The lyrics deal with lots of really (!!) nauseating topics, but what sets EMBALMING THEATRE apart from the tons of average, bloodthirsty goregrind units, is the fact that their lines are based on reality! Alone the imagery that these lyrics contain the ugly truth is kind of perverted, but other than that: We’re living in a sick and heartless world, so why should I be shocked anyway? Whatever, these 11 diabolic anthems, which are available with an absolutely magnificent drawn cover and are over in just 16:36 minutes, will nail you right up to the next wall – I promise!! -Warprayer Ezine

Swiss Embalming Theatre have slowed down a little bit since 2003’s “Sweet Chainsaw Melodies” and have started to rely on a more varied and groovy (at times even catchy) grind style. The themes are as gory as ever, however, and the same can be said of the vocalist’s effort (on this album his name is Soli D. - the entire band changes names with each release for some odd reason). Compared to “Sweet Chainsaw Melodies”, “Hormones From The Dead” wins extra points for the greater extent of variation and a better production. Recommended tracks: “Hallucinating Genital-Ejector”, “They Drowned In A Lake Of Blood ”, “Buried Alive III: Suffocation In The Sand-Box” -www.powermetal.dk
