Vomit The Soul Zine
Here comes EMBALMING THEATRE, one of the sickest Swiss bands, sharing a split CD with HACKSAW SURGERY. It’s the first I heard of this last one, so… let’s go! EMBALMING THEATRE plays 10 tracks, including an intro and a NAPALM DEATH “Lucid Fairytale” cover, of its nice, very nice Grind / Death / Crust!! Nothing really new for EMBALMING THEATRE actually, playing the same kind of excellent and catchy mixture reminding of a nice mix between EXTREME NOISE TERROR, GENERAL SURGERY, AUTOPSY and the first album from GOREROTTED!

Of course, don’t forget the typical sense of humour of the band, in the titles and lyrics, but also in the music, hey! what is this fucking instrument in the 10th song?? A accordion??? Ahah! As usual EMBALMING THEATRE unleashes here an excellent stuff, brutal and professional! Nothing to complain about!! This band rules!!

Ok, it’s time now for HACKSAW SURGERY, coming with 6 tracks of Brutal Death Metal of very… average quality!! Basic Brutal Death Metal with “Swedish sonorities” in the sound and some more melodic riffs reminding of DISMEMBER… Really strange mixture actually reminding a bit of Polish INCARNATED.And finally to conclude about this “D-Composition” Split CD, it’s an almost BUY OR DIE release, and only for the EMBALMING THEATRE side of course!! Forget the rest and support EMBALMING THEATRE!!!

Supreme Brutality
I've come to like Embalming Theatre and their simplistic and crusty goregrind a lot so it was nice to find the D-Composition split CD in my mail. I didn't expect any new tricks and the Swiss gorefreaks don't pull out many surprises this time either. Overall the songs pretty much stick to the blueprint of past efforts, but that doesn't constitute a problem. The predictability [among other things] is what makes Embalming Theatre so great because you know exactly what to expect. Even though D-Composition is no tour de force the band don't disappoint.

Metalrage
 From Australia’s Grindhead Records we received a lovely split album by the bands Embalming Theatre and Hacksaw Surgery. The first band has been at it since 2000 and has released numerous obscure discs. The other is new to the world, and therefore this is their first release. Let's check out D-Composition.

Well obviously grindcore is what you get. The ten tracks offered by Switzerland’s Embalming Theatre are pretty good, at times they even remind me of a grindcore Immolation. Especially the vocals give me this idea. For the rest this band incorporates a lot of humour in their music, which is quite common in this scene. They do this with a lot of (mostly German) samples, and in the track ‘Combine With A Turbine’ there is this ridiculous accordion-like instrument throughout the track, making it sound very idiotic but funny nonetheless. Add a cover from Napalm Death’s ‘Lucid Fairytale’ and you’ve got a barrel of monkeys.
