It is as if you have unwittingly stumbled upon an illegal snuff film that was crafted from within the seediest underbelly of a sick society. This pustulent EP from Portland, Oregon’s Necroseminal Spatter, serves as the duo’s debut release. Awash with a heavily percussive duality of grindy Death Metal guitars and pummelling drums, the tape also features many crass television / movie samples that enhance the intentional thematic tackiness of the listening experience. Whilst only clocking in at eighteen minutes’ runtime, this outfit wastes no time in indecently exposing you to their sleazy brutishness.
The vocals inhabit the sort of flatulent gurgles that are commonly associated with genre titans Last Days of Humanity, but the overall range is also imbued with a dramatic flair akin to the theatrics found on the recent album by San Francisco’s Cartilage. The guitars seem to slot in nicely with the percussion and this allows the instrumentation to carry these tracks with a heavy amount of overall groove. With three of the seven songs here clocking in before the two minute mark, the flow of the tape features the sort of rapid start / stop dynamics that are commonly associated with a great many savage Grind bands. ‘Pleasures of Prolonged Genital Mastication’ begins with a sample of a woman describing the story of a man, who in the 1980s, required hospital treatment to have the head of his penis reattached on multiple occasions. This is, after all, music for the gentle soul… (or genital soul).
For those who enjoy the strangest niche tapes in the extreme Metal underground, then this EP should be right up your crackhead-inhabited alley. The hyper-depraved grindy material on this release will surely also be of interest to fans of acts such as Last Days Of Humanity, Regurgitate, Lymphatic Phlegm, early Carcass and those who’ve checked out the recent Corpus Offal and Undergang split.
