Although the band had already released two demo tapes
(or cassette EP’s) in 2022 and 2023 and both were
featured on the Bringer Of Gore-released ‘Worm-Eaten
Corpse’ compilation LP, I only ran into Purulent Remains
through the split 7” EP with Horrible, released in
spring last year. But that was all I needed, because I
instantly loved their bloody and gurgling Death Metal,
which was cast in a solid Grindcore mould. This 7” EP
was released a couple of months ago through a joint
effort between Extremely Rotten Productions and
Headsplit Records.
What I liked the most from the previous recordings is
that it showed that this Spanish band’s brand of
Grindcore infused Death Metal was actually not going
into violent bursts of blast beats, but still kept the
music interesting throughout. Usually it is the
interplay between faster parts and the sections that are
a bit more grooving that gives this music its overall
appeal. Not that Purulent Remains lacks fast, blasting
parts completely, but those eerie, almost Nerophagia-
like riffs and the slower pace gives the music a
relatively occult vibe. Maybe not too surprising as one
of the two involved musicians is also active in
Nigromancia. But, don’t let that fool you, this is still
all about the gory side of Death Metal with (partially)
pitchshifted vocals and juicy, chopping riffs and ditto
rhythms.
In just over 11 minutes the Spanish duo delivers another
nice bit of Death/Grind that would appeal to fans of the
old gods like Impetigo, Carcass, Necrony, Dead Infection
and Regurgitate as well as newer kids on the block such
as Pharmacist, Septage and Fluids.
