Gormukilliodokus - Come Back Lucifer

Did you know that silent New Zealand can give birth to something really scary and nasty? No? Same with me, haha! I was surprised when I heard Gormukilliodokus the first time. Their work “Come Back Lucifer” nailed me down with its low and bulldozing sound. The visual part of this CD has magnificent and classic zombie art and the music has a dead suffocating atmosphere (sometimes it's really hard to listen to some songs to the end). The whole album sounds like an old diesel engine for an industrial meat grinder. It's very loud, dirty, thunderous and it splashes pieces of flesh and liquid around. Sounds like the story behind some old horror movie doesn’t it? Well this noise is very similar, and besides that it has a lot of samples from famous scary films. This Deathgrind has a very low and raw tone, sounds like the ground is trembling and the dead are returning to life. The guitar work is huge, but a bit messy.... heavy as hell riffs over furious and moldy drums, that shit rips. Fierce growls are the spice of everything, it sounds like the vocalist is trying to growl and vomit at the same time. I can't clearly hear the bass, I can feel it, haha, that thing is so powerful! This is very monolithic album, it's very heavy, not so fast, but it could kill. I guarantee you that Come Back Lucifer is not a waste of your time.

Meth Drinker / Moloch (Grindfather prod)

I know that it is pretty strange for us to write a review on a genre that is far from Grind, but these bands are worth your attention guys. So without any more hesitation, I push this tape into my player. And… The endless abyss of black resin began to envelope me. It`s really hard to believe that such a small country like New Zealand could birth such a dreadful band. If I remember right Meth Drinker is not active anymore. And that makes me a little bit sad because their low sound infection is so good. This band acts so heavy and so painfully, their songs are full of dark atmosphere and crashing energy. The guitar sound slowly entering into your mind and corrupts it. Unholy screams and roars make this piece of mud even better. Each song like a poison, you dont even notice when it starts to melt you. So be very carefully while listening of this part.

Next is an ugly beast from the UK. During listening to this material I was not left with a feeling that Moloch is belching a dense black vomit. Seriously, their songs have a good doom metal taste; tunes are so slow and heavy and the agonizing vocals cause goose bumps. Also the whole sound is deep and viscous (and it`s very important for this kind of music). I guess that both of these gloomy songs can be perfectly used like a soundtrack for doomsday.
