Mahlzeit!!! Ugh, what a disgusting cover! Definitely downloaded from the internet. In any case, it’s something that looks like it belongs on ‘Faces of Death’. So it can only be one music genre: grindcore!
After flicking through the CD booklet, I’m immediately reminded of the CD booklet for Carcass’s ‘Necroticism’ album. Here too, they’ve printed the anatomy of the head. Despite the fact that the song titles (such as, for example, ‘Congenital abnormalities of basic mechanisms of excretory tubules’. How do they come up with it, eh?) are also reminiscent of Carcass, the music isn’t a rip-off of Carcass.
There are 9 brutal splattergrind tracks on it, of which track 8 is a cover (‘Boneyard’) by Impetigo (Rest In Pieces, sob). All in all, you’ll spend about 34 minutes of your time on this CD, which is exactly enough. This CD contains grindcore as it should be, no more but certainly no less.
Fleshgrinder is a Brazilian trio who fully dedicate themselves to a music genre that hasn’t yet been commercially milked dry, and let’s hope it stays that way. Grindcore is simply for a limited audience who absolutely love it, while most people find it too disgusting. Or they don’t consider it music at all, well, even a Gabber Piet infected with BSE can’t compete with grindcore!
This CD will be difficult to get hold of, but you can contact Ewald also known as GIB distribution (for the address, see the review of the Diabolic demo) or try Lofty Storm Records, a/c Marco Moriguti, caixa postal 1550, Florianopolis -CS 88010-970 Brazil (price $18).
