█ █ █ █
█ █ Now, I know you shouldn't ought to judge an orange by its █ █
█ █ skin or a banana by its peel, but just look at the state of █ █
█ █ this rotten fruit! Bugger me! Hahaha! That cover reminds me █ █
█ █ of something from the front of a release by Australian █ █
█ █ asylum escapees, Rancid Shit Wank, but with less knobbly █ █
█ █ genitalia. Maybe the guy did work for them too I d'know. Oh █ █
█ █ look! There's a familiar lookin' type of cock in the █ █
█ █ corner, so maybe he did! Just a brief look at the artwork, █ █
█ █ logo and title of this already had me bracin' myself for █ █
█ █ some laughably poor, lo-fi boredcore/noisegrind from this █ █
█ █ one man project. However, the description on his MySpace █ █
█ █ info panel seemed more promisin', what him definin' Eroguro █ █
█ █ as æmutated industrial ambient/drone/goregrind'! I can't █ █
█ █ say I've heard anything in such a style before so let's see █ █
█ █ what happens! █ █
█ █ These songs are fuckin' ludicrous! Driven by distorted █ █
█ █ drum-prog disorientation, which clacks and fizzes along in █ █
█ █ a horribly stuttery staccato fashion, each tune features █ █
█ █ extremely prominent synth/keyboard note-stab insanity, █ █
█ █ eatin' into your brain with high-pitched, insectoid █ █
█ █ squirliness, spewin' relentless streams of squeaks, beeps, █ █
█ █ bleeps and boops. Also present, though not used quite as █ █
█ █ frequently, are raucous guitars which scrape your face off █ █
█ █ with hideous dissonance, often startin' out as if intendin' █ █
█ █ to create some kind of riff, but abandonin' the idea very █ █
█ █ quickly, then after that they just grate jarringly against █ █
█ █ the other instruments. There are vocals here too, but used █ █
█ █ rather sparingly, and when they do appear, it's in the form █ █
█ █ of heavily overdriven howls. █ █
█ █ The noise that Eroguro makes is colourful and carefree but █ █
█ █ at the same time horrid and violent, also very silly, twee █ █
█ █ and irreverent, yet highly disconcertin'. Most of these █ █
█ █ tracks chew your cranium for five to seven minutes, some of █ █
█ █ them masticatin' your mind for ten, the three musicians █ █
█ █ buryin' you beneath deep drifts of bug-eyed jam-session til █ █
█ █ your ears overflow with sticky, multi-coloured noise. Most █ █
█ █ of it has that highly-strung, warbly sound, but they █ █
█ █ sometimes experiment with less intense scapes, with the █ █
█ █ guitar apparently pitchshifted into a sort of robotic bassy █ █
█ █ thrum, with some swishy synths on top, occasionally findin' █ █
█ █ slightly more agreeable phrases, with much less destructive █ █
█ █ drum patternin'. Some of the synthwork is deliberately █ █
█ █ deployed to cause discordant head wobble, findin' voices █ █
█ █ and chords that just don't fit at all, or do anything for █ █
█ █ your good mood, performed persistently for maximum █ █
█ █ ear-disagreement. But that's all part of the fun! █ █
█ █ It's been so long since I've listened to anything in this █ █
█ █ style that I'm not sure who to compare it to really. For █ █
█ █ want of better specification, I'll liken the overall vibe █ █
█ █ to stuff like Gore Beyond Necropsy, maybe, similar to █ █
█ █ Eroguro affiliated project, Big Deformed Head, perhaps some █ █
█ █ Basket of Death? I d'know, I'm probably not bein' very █ █
█ █ accurate here. It's tricky this! Clunkety shards of █ █
█ █ skew-whiff cyberporn/electrogrind fly out of this machine █ █
█ █ quite a bit....difficult to pin down, Catasexual Urge █ █
█ █ Motivation? Ganglia? Sleepy Samurai? Goat Orgy?? Sort of █ █
█ █ all slapped together and mangled. On the straightforward █ █
█ █ goregrind side of it, it's difficult to say really, other █ █
█ █ than just imagine the sloppiest, nastiest stuff from the █ █
█ █ genre, various outfits from extremely fecund label Fecal █ █
█ █ Matter Discorporated, perhaps Demonic Orgy, maybe early █ █
█ █ Intestinal Disgorge (without the classick bitchscreams █ █
█ █ though [unfortunately]). Erm, I s'pose some bits of it you █ █
█ █ could compare to the more strident stuff on Warp Records, █ █
█ █ the most obvious of these bein' the most dissonant reaches █ █
█ █ of the Aphex Twin discography. Other non-grind/gore █ █
█ █ electronic stuff that kind of comes to mind somewhat is █ █
█ █ perhaps Venetian Snares, and also DJ Scotch Egg. These █ █
█ █ might not be the best comparisons, but if you imagine them █ █
█ █ repulsively melted down and then re-solidified as one foul, █ █
█ █ crooked mass, then you ought to be able to imagine what █ █
█ █ kind of shite this is. █ █
█ █ Thing is, main guy Jose has a surprisingly clear vision of █ █
█ █ what he wants to create here, which is explained on the █ █
█ █ back of the inlay card. Apparently, this is supposed to be █ █
█ █ a combination of the æugly/extreme sounds of goregrind, █ █
█ █ brutal death, black metal, funeral doom, and drone/noise █ █
█ █ with the beautiful melodies of proggy electronic ambient █ █
█ █ rock'. I'm not so sure about all o' that; although Eroguro █ █
█ █ do create some of the atmospheres of those genres, they're █ █
█ █ melded together in a monged, slurry fashion til they end up █ █
█ █ absurdified beyond recognition. And as for the beautiful █ █
█ █ melodies, I'm afraid I had a lot of trouble findin' those. █ █
█ █ Production? Everything shoved to the front, horribly █ █
█ █ distorted, pressin' on your ears and burrowin' right █ █
█ █ through your grey matter til it oozes out of either ear. █ █
█ █ Very hot and overdriven, clippy; a deliberately hideous █ █
█ █ production that serves to intensify the rotten content. █ █
█ █ It's enormously lo-fi, this isn't distant and fuzzed over, █ █
█ █ you can still hear all the individual bits loud and clear, █ █
█ █ it's just that everything is pushed so far over the top █ █
█ █ that your ears don't stand a chance of escapin' their █ █
█ █ thorough drubbin'. Again, that's all part of the fun! █ █
█ █ I can't say I'll be fallin' over myself to get to the CD █ █
█ █ tray to listen to this album again in very much of a hurry, █ █
█ █ but I did enjoy it all the same; it reminded me of a █ █
█ █ simpler time when I had the patience to put up with such █ █
█ █ shite and willingly, enthusiastically even, poured it into █ █
█ █ my own ear canals daily. But if you're into crazed, noisy █ █
█ █ cack, then you'll enjoy Eroguro very much. █ █
