Brazil and Goregrind. These two words are synonyms. People of that country are really sick! There are so many bands who are screaming and roaring about murder, gore and other filthy things... And that is freaking cool! Today I wanna tell the bloody story of two slimy bands, Dead Fetus Collection and Harmony Fault. That short story has 2 chapters, chapters that will tell you about horror and disgusting things. The first chapter called “Dead Fetus Collection”...
Dead Fetus Collection is a band that got my attention a few years back and the first piece of noise that I heard was their first full length album "Sadistic Necro Chamber". I have no need to compare the old album with this new recording, the guys didn't turn from the way of old Gore. Most of the music of Dead Fetus Collection consists of low sound, heavy buzzing guitar, vomiting vocals and middle tempo drums. Sometimes this monster can be fast like in “Cisticercose”, this song reminds me of a weird and explosive mix of Dead Infection with Oxidised Razor. Also the guys did a great cover of Gut, just check their “Killed And Mutilated In Kashmir” it`s total “Crippled Bitch” worship, haha!)
Chapter 2 “Harmony Fault”. This band has existed for 15 years, during all this time, the guys have released many records. Some of them good, some not so much. But, this last recording session is strong as the thirst for blood of Dracula. These 4 songs are so groovy… And they're really full of fun. The vocals are loud and on top of the music, but it's not poorly executed. Its piled with watery effects and sound like a mix of flatulence and vomit. Guitar sounds is not so low, it has a tiny taste of Metal /Punk buzzing. Also I like the almost “clear” sound of the drums, these “tupa tupa” beats are so groovy! In case you love groovy Grind, this might be your band.
This review is dedicated to the memory of Luciano Battistini... Rest in peace man!

I found this CD in a big pack from the Italian Gore label and I really can’t say that I was not excited to have it. I never much liked this band, but anyway I will try to write with maximum honesty (without any prejudice) words about this album. If I remember right this French project consist of only one person. The guy tagged his music as Goregrind, but it sound more like primitive black metal. Honestly just listen the first track… I'm pretty sure that he is trying to create something close to the creativity of Llymphatic Phlegm, but, in my opinion, he failed. Also I`m sure that this project has many fans, but I didn’t find anything interesting here. Thentunes are boring (however the first few riffs in 3rd songs were nice) and these strange distorted vocal are one of the worst kind of vocals I've heard. And then, theres the sound of the drum machine, very annoying. Oh, almost forgot here is one thing that I liked… Its different samples (music or from films) they are really good. So as you can see “Long Live The New Flesh! “ is not the best way to spend your time my dear boys and girls…

Vomitoma - "A Mangled Mass Of Twitching Semi-Organic Abominations" will be out very soon!
2016 became a very fruitful year for german label Uterus Productions. This label released a whole bunch of nasty and sick stuff and today we will review the position №13 in their catalog. So it's split between dutch duo Subhuman Prodigy Of Wickedness and filipino one man band Proctalgia.
Ok, SPOW goes first. I don't know why but their cyber noise don't disgust me. I even got some mood boost bit while listening to this nonsense. I doubt very much that the guys tried to play something serious. The guitar sounds like it was written in some Guitar Pro, but it sounds pretty fun, the same with electronic drums the aura of total crazy collapse is created by vocals (those sound of gurgle of water in the toilet is so stupidly funny). Hm even shitty pig voice does not spoil the whole sound picture…
Hm Proctalgia sounds more confident and serious.Thick low guitar sound and the same low distorted vocals feels nice my ears. You can hear electronic drums too, but they do not break the impression. Sometimes among gore mess erupt good death metal riffs. I can not say that the material is super cool and exciting but if you like goregrind you should at least check this exotic project out once.

Very old and (in their circles) legendary formation Gore recently awakened from a long sleep and began to actively prepare new material. One of its last works was the split with the Mexicans Hipermenorrea. Thanks to the efforts of the german Uterus Productions office, this material has been released in vinyl format. A disgustingly and worthlessly designed outer sleeve (I only like half-rotten skull with red hair, which reminded me of the old gay David Mustaine, ahaha) hides a beautiful, bloody red vinyl inside of it that we are going to put on the platter right now :)
All bands have ups and downs, the same happened to Gore ... but I assure you that these songs are anything but a failure! Brazilian luchadores provided very good and stinking record. Perhaps most of all I liked the sound of the guitar here, and rhythms and riffs reek of old-fashioned death metal. I do not want to offend the rest of the guys (vocals and drums are perfect), but the guitar is really what set the tone here.
I honestly tried to find something interesting for myself in the works of these Mexicans and just couldn't (((This flat guitar sound just gets on my nerves ... But the material is frankly weak, the pace of the songs is very slow in some places (I understand that the guys were trying to catch the atmosphere but it didn't work) ...
