Cannibal Ferox / Encabronation (Hecatombe Records)

Look at this artwork it's so cute and evil! What a cute character with a goat skull on his head, and check what a cool soup cook's this guy, hehehe!) But let's cut the jokes, we got here a very strong split between two Spanish deathgrind bands. Let start our acquaintance with Encabronation… These residents of Valencia dumped as much as 14 songs. And mostly they all got a deathgrind color (which is expressed in riffs and rhythms). Here is a very nice and low tasty sound and for those kind of the bands it`s very important. And also I noticed some very tiny notes something similar to groove/stoner metal, this is particularly noticeable in “Canis Lupus” song. And this strange mix with deathgrind sounds really fantastic!

The Cannibal Ferox are not too productive band but those guys dont not chasing the numbers... Their demo work has generated some interest to CxFx in the underground, so many of freaks were looking forward for something new from our Spanish amigos. As expected, the guys did not disappoint me. Everything starts with short intro (from some old horror movie) and then begins intensive deathgrind bombardment with low and dense sound. The guitar riff are sharp like a savages spears, heavy drum beats and the low roar of the vocalist, that how can be briefly described that what you`ll hear here. If you are a fan of Machetazo then you will like Cannibal Ferox for sure.
