FETUS EATERS / DIORRHEA split CD (GrindMind) 11.98The label told me that they sent their last available copies of this split album to us, and we've got less than a dozen of them, so this might be the last chance that grindfreaks will get to pick up this rippin' split. 39 tracks, each band averaging 20 songs each. Thirty-six minutes of Fetus Eater's bizarro grindcore and Diorrhea's gnarly buzzsaw crust. Fetus Eaters are first up, and deliver more of their unique demented goofball grind that combines silly samples and weird unexpected sounds with blazing, RAW old school grind. I've always been a fan of their tweaked mutant grind that's influenced by both classic Earache Records brutality as well as Mr. Bungle and Naked City. Brutal grind a la Carcass and Brutal Truth with awesome crushing riffage and blazing blastbeats is laced with worldless vocal noise, kazoos, cartoon music sound effects, segueways into weird spacey soul music and looped sound collages, squelchy FX, blasts of brass fanfares, free jazz saxophones, ambient sci-fi electronics, and other crazy sounds. Furious and freaked out grind weirdness, I love these guys just as much as likeminded genre fucking grindfreaks Le Scrawl.
Diorrhea dial back on the weirdness but crank up the rabies with twenty two ferocious blasts of crusty Italian grindcore, ripping thrashy punk verses exploding into full-bore blastbeat annihilation, savage anthemic singalongs, two seriously pissed off singers that switch off on gutteral gorilla grunts and murderous screams. Little music box melodies, evil vocal experiments and drunken rock licks pop up here and there, but it's mostly a vicious blasting assault of punky noisy grind that mixes classic Italian thrash like Wretched and Raw Power with baked blastcore a la Cripple Bastards. Grind it!
