A classick early EP from the Boston noisecore legends, Morbid Florist came out as a 7" back in 1993 on Relapse Records, and was then reissued on disc a couple of years later with a previously unreleased untitled bonus track. Like most of AxCx's early 90's stuff, the fifteen tracks on here are mostly pure raw hyperblast blurr, each track a super short nuclear blast of improvised guitar bleeargh and whirlwind noise that borders on Merzbow-like levels of sonic overload, insanely fast cyclonic blast beats, and Seth Putnam's guttural nonsensical screaming about Morrisey, the Grateful Dead, Canadian big band conductor Guy Lombardo, among other more hate-filled subjects.
But there's also some sickeningly grinding doom metal crawl that surfaces on the tracks "Song #5" and "Slow Song From Split 7-Inch", and a couple surprise bursts of goofball thrash metal that keep you on your toes, and the song "Radio Hit" rocks some awesome mosh-meltdown death metal sewage that's still a staple of their live set. The Ep is probably best known though for AxCx's infamous brain-damaged cover of "Unbelievable" from early 90's Madchester pin-ups EMF, easily one of the most insane "cover songs" ever. Along with a bunch of lightning-fast eruptions of total grindnoise, another cover (of Eddy Grant's "I Don't Wanna Dance") and a weird medley of riffs from Boston proto-grind legends Siege called, unsurprisingly, "Siege", this is a blistering chunk of noxious, ridiculously brutal early grind/noise blasts that's pretty essential for hardcore AxCx fans, even if it doesn't have the genius song titles of their later albums. Bleeeargh!
