release notes:
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.
