Prepare to have yer head ripped off by this new disc of extreme Quebecois deathgrind, pal. And like most of the French Canadian death/grind bands that I listen to, the freaks behind Clearwater Deathblow have been drinking some ill water from somewhere below the Montreal streets, infecting their hyperblast grind with the kind of contorted riff weirdness and schizophrenic song structures that seem to be synonymous with grindcore from this corner of the world. The mood on Parasite Cleansing is one of total apocalypse, if the album title didn't hint at that already...the cover art shows a holocaust of meteors laying waste to a city (Montreal itself, perhaps?), while the thirty tracks collected on the disc are served up in minute and a half blasts of insanely fast deathgrind that touches on a mix of ecological issues, politics, and splatstick humor. It's all about the riffs and the blasts though, and CD assault the senses with machinegun blastbeat drumming and ridiculously complex fills that sound like they are actually being performed by a drum machine, and crushing downtuned guitars that don't get too complicated, instead going for vicious staccato thrash riffs delivered at supersonic speed. The guitar solos, on the other hand, are totally batshit. When the guitarists really let loose with these wonky, atonal shredding, it sounds like Luc Lemay from Negativa/Gorguts tearing up his fretboard over the extreme punky grind of Nasum or newer Napalm Death. Nice!
