A mere nine songs for the mighty Meat Shits, which show a more clear sound, but still retain their classic samples and Blast speed. Necrophiliacs deliver 3 live songs of German Hardcore, sometimes approaching the style of E.N.T., but are not exactly inspirational.

More samples, more Noisy Death/Grind blasts, but somewhat refined into “only” 14 compositions this time. The tempo is more varied with this 7-inch EP, and there is more variety in the music.

134 pornographic Grind/Noise spasms crammed onto two 7-inchs. I reviewed this once before, but in it’s demo form (click here for that review). The sound has been improved and, of course, it’s on vinyl for the first time now. Somehow, Meat Shits and the 7-inch format seem to just go together.

This was a difficult review to write, as these guys incorporate little bits of every extreme style into their sound. That makes them a very unique band, and as such, an impossible band to describe in a few words. Suffice to say that those looking for insane Black Death Grind Metal shall look no further! Extremely chaotic and heavy.

Duke and company Grind the fuck out of this piece of vinyl. Here are five tracks of heavy, brutal Death/Grind, and believe me, these freaks know how to do it right and make you remember it. Duke’s voice is as memorable as the riffs - and as heavy. Certainly one of the top five bands of this kind. If all that’s not enough, also know that this 7-inch EP is on sick pink vinyl.

Roadrunner are obviously insane for dropping this great band, they should have kept them and pressed this on CD [somebody should!]. The recording level on this EP is sorta low, but that’s not the end of the world, and at least it’s not muddy, just not real loud. Anyway, here we have live versions of some of MC’s best tracks, including my favorite, “Premature Burial.” They’ve even included their studio version of Slayer’s “Piece by Piece.” What are you waiting for?

Vocals brutal enough that a lyric sheet is useless (at least when trying to follow the songs), actually it’s even a brutal font on the lyric sheet: Old English. As you’ll guess, the style is insane Death Metal from the depths of depravity and Hell itself. So that pretty much means that it’s a great album.

Some bands try to be the goriest, or the heaviest, or have the best production, or the most memorable riffs, or the most brutal drums, or the more intense vocals. Infernal Torment utterly destroy them all. No band has lyrics more overflowing with gore than this band of post-mortem motherfuckers. Never have I heard a demo with production this powerful, or clear. The riffs and drums are worthy of Carcass at their splatterific best, which, in case you didn’t know, means that they fuckin’ kill. And then there are the vocals. Scott is in the running for the sickest Death pukes in the history of the world. This is truly worthy of the description “brutal.” The intensity is just beyond belief. I think you should put this zine down immediately, and write to these guys. If this doesn’t get them signed, then the world must be destroyed.

Heaviness without end. Unparalleled brutality. This is an intense album! Super-powered Death Metal from the first second to the last.

Well, the first song, “Saddam a Go-Go,” features a horn section. I guess this continues the musical experimentation begun on the last album, America Must Be Destroyed, and I’m glad to hear it, and this is by no means a wimpy album. The experimentation only adds to the sickness of the Gwar experience. Also, the songs are really memorable, and the production is pretty flawless. I like it. A lot.

Here’s one for the vaults. If only I could hear the bass guitar, it would probably be flawless. The recording and production are excellent. I have added Smoot Sound to my little list of cool studios. Hey, these guys even have riffs - and they go totally nutty and make those riffs memorable, too! What crazy guys! Drums you ask? Think Deicide. Which is to say, very clear, precise, and deadly. Mostly mid-paced to fast, with a really fast part here and there. Okay, will the vocals will ruin it for me, as they have on so many other albums? Fuck no! I like ‘em. They’re raw, but not impossible to understand. Excellent job.

Primitive goat worship. Bad production - of course! Fairly interesting riffs and drums. Is there bass? The vocals are as tortured as any I’ve heard. Would a better production really make this band, or utterly destroy them? Too many questions. But a fast, Black Metal attack, to be sure. The biggest downfall is that this is all one big track on the CD! All the songs are programmed as one, so you cannot go to the beginning of any song but the first [This was apparently only the case for the Wild Rags pressing(s). -Editor]. I hope that this is not the next trend for “true” Black Metal to blindly follow!

After their amazing False album, I knew I would have to be disappointed by whatever came next. But this is a surprise anyway. It’s not exactly horrible, but they have abandoned most of their heaviness and speed. I’m too shaken up to continue with this. Maybe they will come to their senses and write a good album next time.

The Thrashy style of Death Metal played by Ghostorm is second to none. The songwriting and musicianship displayed in these songs is usually staggering. Plus they have the added bonus of being pretty damn heavy, and memorable. Even the vocals are cool. For what more could one ask? I dunno.

The interesting lyrics are occasionally sung in such a way that you would think that no attention was paid to the music at all when they were recorded. Other than that, I’m sort of fond of these songs. I suppose you’d call them Death Metal, thanks to the vocals, but I’m not sure if that’s exactly right for the music.

I am reminded of Dismember a bit. Well, maybe an occasionally more Rock oriented Dismember. Pretty cool if you ask me.

I’m not really too moved by this album. Sure, it’s semi-heavy, and all that, but it leaves me flat. Sometimes the lads muster up a little energy, or do something pretty cool, but for the most part, I’ll pass.

This compilation of various bits and pieces is perhaps their best release to date. Clearly, their earlier stuff was the best. I hope they listen to this themselves and try to recapture whatever they had back then that made Earache, or anyone else, ever give a damn about them.

These guys specialize in writing extremely catchy songs. So catchy in fact, that the title track to their first demo (Jiz Mark) still haunts my brain after about two years since I first heard it. None of these six songs are quite that memorable, but they’re pretty damn close, and they’re way heavier - a strange combination of Thrash and Death Metal, with more obvious Celtic Frost influences. The lyrics are still goofy, but I appreciate goofy lyrics.

Mildly distorted vocals + “loud” guitars + record scratches = Foreskin 500 = total and complete shit. Why do bands like this get signed?
