Further proving our staunch belief that French Canadians are consistently producing some of the most whacked out metal on the planet at the moment, comes

this split CD entitled Only Meat Israel featuring Montreal grindcore trio Dentist and C-Blast faves and terminal art-doom weirdos Cortisol back to

back. Wait a sec...Dentist? Complete with umlauts over the "i"? Had to hope that all of their songs were going to be conceptually based around that most

dreaded of professions, but it's hard to tell what the hell they're actually about, with songs titled "Suicide Sheeps", "March Of The MILF", and "No Pain, No

Sandwich". Dentist's music is weird, crushing grind, a mashup of Infest and extreme sludgecore, goofball Meatmen style hardcore, bizarre samples, and weird

rhythmic breakdowns. Kinda have the same vibe as fellow Canucks Fuck The Facts, tho Dentist are way sillier. Hell yeah, their 9 songs freaking crush! This

split album turns even more confusional when we realize that the members of Dentist are also the members of Cortisol, making the former an alter-ego of the

latter. When the Cortisol tracks kick in with their 3 long tracks though, things turn deadly serious, starting with the morose crust-doom blast of "Hog Tied

2k6". They continue to carve out an abstract, angular form of extreme doom metal, super slooow and complex, with almost math-rock-type riffs frozen to a dead

crawl, their grinding glacial riffs littered with odd electronic noises and ghoulish screeching vocals, like a rotted out hybrid of Khanate and Harvey Milk.

"Mobile Myth" devolves a crushing angular dirge into a mist of finely ground glass, and the closer "Evening Wrench Map" goes out on a somewhat melodic

monster of a riff riding on a bashing drum assault. So you get two faces of the same band, one an absurdist ultragrind outfit and the other one of the

heaviest, most abstracted math-sludge bands on the planet, combined for one serious dose of fucked up heaviness!
