CIRCLE OF DEAD CHILDREN  Exotic Sense Decay  CD   (Willowtip)   9.98


Finally got this in stock, the surreal, atmospheric deathgrind feverdream Exotic Sense Decay from Pittsburgh's Circle Of Dead Children. This 7-song EP also came out as a picture disc 7" on Robodog, but that's long out of print. In possession of one of the greatest band names ever, Circle Of Dead Children followed up their debut album Starving The Vultures with this feverish blast of arty deathgrind that incoporates bits and pieces of black metal, crustcore, powerviolence, electronics, and confusional math-metal. Superfast, super technical downtuned grind, ridiculously deep gutteral vocals and gnarly rasping screeches, packing in a ton of wild concepts into it's 12 minute running time. The highlight of the disc is probably the combined 15 second blast of psychedelic noisecore that bleeds straight into the contorted cosmic angles of "Grabbing N.", and then into "Skull Of A Hermit/Brain Of A Faery"'s blinding mach-10 skronk. These guys are right in step with the artful, futuristic grind maximalism of Discordance Axis, Cephalic Carnage, and Luddite Clone. Awesome cover art, too.
