Nuclear Abominations
- I was complaining
right the other day about the seemigly complete lack of serious
goregrind bands with a real fucking line up and not just drum machine
and computer bases. Luckily Grindhead from Australia has come in aid, as
this Devoured Flesh Regurgitation album is just that, a real grindgore
record with real musicians, that took over 4 years in the making. It
just feels reassuring that it was not made overnight like so many
releases today.
I actually hate the shouted punk vocals on this album, a la “old English
way of early grindcore”, not becouse they’re not deep or whatever, but
they just sound a bit fake in the mix - so to say out of place... This
band has a double vocal approach (just like old ENT) and the second one
is our beloved more reassuring, traditional octaved gargle of early RGTE
and old Malignant Tumour. Soundwise the inspirations are many, from
crust to more traditional grindcore with a lot of blasts and the
classick touch of punk induced groove plus a bit of the blur of early
noise bands like Sore Throat. I really like it when all the instruments
converge to a point where all the fury is unleashed in a wall of sound
crowned with froglike croaks. Luckily we have something sick to listen
to this time and age. There is not that excess of R’n'R groove that is
abounding too much lately into grid in my opinion, and that’s another
good point. We’re a bit far from the impossible damp heaviness of Last
Days of Humanity and early Squash Bowels, but we’reon the right way. To
get and support! The band split up in 2006, too bad!
Neat work with the packaging this time, the label is improving release
after release.
