One of the most renowned bands in the modern goregrind
scene, PHARMACIST was formed in early 2020 by Pharmacist
(guitars, bass, vocals) and Therapeutist (drums).
Shortly after formation, the band released the EP
"Forensic Pathology Jurisprudence," which was quickly
followed by the debut full-length "Medical Renditions Of
Grinding Decomposition" in August 2020, spreading the
old-school death metal with gore themes in the vein of
early Carcass and Pathologist. Throughout the next year,
the band did a massive output of singles, splits, and
EPs, culminating in the second full-length, "Flourishing
Extremities On Unspoiled Mental Grounds." HELLS
HEADBANGERS released that second album on vinyl in early
2023, in anticipation for the band's third full-length,
which now arrives bearing the title "Vertebrae After
Vertebrae."
After a slumber in silence, PHARMACIST emerge stronger
and fouler than ever with "Vertebrae After Vertebrae."
Without much expanding on the progressive side of its
no-less-considerable predecessor, on "Vertebrae After
Vertebrae" do PHARMACIST concentrate on more
straightforward vibes, with some fresh ideas weaved into
their primary foundation of death metal and grindcore.
Put another way, this is the band at their catchiest and
most brutal, even when working in more downtempos; in
fact, some of the breakdowns are sublimely
knuckle-dragging, suitable for moshpit action or head
crushing. Much of "Vertebrae After Vertebrae" could be
likened to "Medical Renditions Of Grinding
Decomposition," concentrating on raw, reeking content
and embracing a wide swath of old-school references and
inspiration, where small melodic parts here and there
merely give more punch and contrast to the main
composition. As such, each song here has its own
character, and at times, you might find a fondly
familiar vibe from your favorite old records - from
Kreator to Death, from Vio-lence to Gorgasm - but all
sickly wrapped in the characteristic PHARMACIST sound,
style, and design.
Crisp yet crunching and stealthy as ever, PHARMACIST
again work with VoidLab in Tokyo for recording, mixing,
and mastering, giving "Vertebrae After Vertebrae" the
ultimate gutpunch: bowel-cleansing, swiftly and
delightfully so. So, too, do the band link up with Adam
Medford for another gross & surreal cover artwork,
completing the finishing touches on what's bound to be
the band's highwater mark: "a good medicine to heal your
cure, penetrate the remedy sound down the spine,
vertebrae after vertebrae."
