Cliteater - Clit ´em All + Eat Clit Or Die (Nailthecunt Records)


Reissues are not always a bad thing (as many nerds think...), and I will prove it to you with this black and shiny digi-pack. I'm holding in my hands a massive release with two CD's inside. This edition has a simple look, but that's only the first impression. Open it, and you will find art for both albums, a small poster, and a fresh band photo and ton of information; Nailthecunt Records managed to make a very strong and beautiful debut release! 

The first part of this double pie is an album from the beginning of Cliteater's history - “Clit ´em All”. I feel like these guys have tried to make everything by the old deathgrind traditions - this material is heavy and straight, and all songs have similar structures. Here you will hear a lot of death metal riffs and grind blasting drumming, with bulldozer-ing bass creating that extra heaviness. Vocals are much the same, sounding foreboding and like a hungry, gurgling stomach, haha! Samples from old movies are here too, and they help to keep balance in this music mess of blood, rot, and squished remains. 
It's not the best in Cliteater`s discography, but it's definitely a nice album. 

When I listened  to “Eat Clit Or Die”, I felt that these guys have grow a lot. This LP is riffy, catchy, and the sound is deeper and cleaner. With this album, you will be served with groovy-as-hell death metal/grindcore. I find this album more grind oriented than “Clit ´em All”, and it's simply because of swing tempos, primitive caveman dancing tunes, a few crust punk moments, and evil roaring. But, there is a lot of cool slow and fast buzzing death metal tricks - just check the song “Crash Test Fetus”. Art for both albums was drawn by Luisma (Haemorrhage) - I bet that you've recognized his style, haha!
