CSSO / TU CARNE  split  7" VINYL   (Morbid Reality)   5.98


Another warehouse find, we nabbed just a couple of copies of this out-of-print split featuring psych-grinders C.S.S.O!

I am a huge fan of C.S.S.O. (which stands for Clotted Symmetric Sexual Organ), the Japanese outfit that started out aping blown-out Carcass style

grind in the early 90's, and eventually morphed into a godlike amalgam of brutal noisy grindcore and wah-drenched psychedelic garage/acid rock! Like a

bizarre, blown out fusion of Jimi Hendrix and Napalm Death, super rocking and freaked out psych-rock mixed with tornado riffage and blastbeats. The guitarist

even calls himself Sumi Hendrix. Awesome. So yeah, here is this split EP, which features three live tracks from C.S.S.O. that were recorded in 2002: "Daddy's

Home", "Explanatory Notes Of Pilferage", and "256". Low-fi and noisy but totally listenable and exploding with C.S.S.O.'s unique psychgrind energy. I'm not

much of a fan of live releases, but I could listen to C.S.S.O. live for hours. The flipside has the Mexican band Tu Carne, who play super distorted

sludge/gore/punk/grind with terminally catchy punk riffs tuned to the key of Z, chaotic blast beats, and impossibly deep monster vocals, and everything

drenched in a thick layer of fuzz and hiss. There's actually a band member credited with "bass distortion"? Rad. Weird, noisy, almost "poppy" goregrind that

we'll need to explore further.

This 7" is packaged in a a full color sleeve that seems to have been printed on some sort of laser xerox paper, so there is some minor creasing at some of

the corners. Otherwise, these are in terrific shape. A killer dose of grind weirdness!
