Every strand of hair upon your balding head flies off
like poisonous bamboo darts, erupting from the empty
hair follicles are thousands of maggots, half exposed
and flailing upon the crown of your skull, as if you've
evolved into some kind of pale larva-headed Medusa. The
weight of a cascading wall of vomit bears down upon you,
like a stomach acid fueled Iguazu Falls. The next
minute, you find yourself treading-water within a pool
of blackened-green skin fragments and bile. A debut EP
from Gangrenated, a new gore applauding Death Metal trio
from Tallinn, Estonia, has arisen from within a reeky
swamp of liquified rotting rat carcasses.
Running just shy of sixteen minutes, this EP, which is
entitled 'Demise Profanation', is a grindy, low, hefty
chainsaw slicing batch of carnage. The first track
'Flayed in the Lathe' explodes like a pressurised
canister of rectum gas with shadowy and massively thick
guitars, gargled drown-sounding vocal work, and the sort
of frantic low-fidelity drums that sound as if they were
being performed inside of a garden shed. The following
track 'Harvest of the Larvae-Ridden (The Carrion
Genesis)', is a fun, catchy beast. I enjoy the highly
headbangable guitar performances and the track's
numerous engaging riff switch-ups. The title track is a
particularly claustrophobic cut, I enjoy the rolling
bass drums and the chug-centered riff ideas, as well as
more of the gargling vocal embellishments, overall the
song feels intentionally woozy, stomach-churning and
noxious. The band closes out the EP with a cover of
Mortician's 'Zombie Apocalypse', the style of the track
is a very good match for Gangrenated's own grindy sound,
and the band sounds crushing as all hell.
Rather than being just another uninspired offering of
typical HM2-style distorted murk, Gangrenated has
delivered a very fun little EP here. I like how easy it
is to revel within the joy of the simplistic gory nature
of this release. All of the instrumentation is handled
well, and it'll be interesting to see what else this
bodily fluid-loving duo has to offer down the line. For
fans of Undergang, Mortician, Coffin Mulch, and Corpus
Offal.
