EYETOFUK / PUTRID WHORE Drufuked And Pornified CD (Grindhead Records) 10.98An older split that we're stocking here for the first time, Drufuked And Pornified (whatever the hell that means) is a split album featuring the vile, fucked-up electronically enhanced gore lunacy of Eyetofuk and Putrid Whore, both bands offering a warped version of goregrind that includes bizarre samples, electronic noise, techno rhythms, and other oddness to their vomitous porn-and-gore obsessed grind blasts.
Up first is the Lithuanian trio Eyetofuk, who deliver eight tracks of their self-described "electropornscumgrind" for their half of this disc. We have another newer album from these guys that we'll be listing at Crucial Blast soon, and I've become pretty fascinated (or maybe just stupefied) by the oddball mix of brutal Napalm Death-esque grindcore, chugging savage thrash riffs with skittery techno rhythms and throbbing club beats that these maniacs puke up. On here, the band mashes together vicious grindcore with electronic fx, breakbeats and mutated bits of Autechre-like glitchery, tossing in clanking industrial machine rhythms and bizarre death growls that are chopped up and layered into warped new clumps of vokill vomit, the voices sometimes speeding up into high pitched chipmunk obscenities and gurgling vocal noise collages. Samples abound as well, the band looping and tweaking all kinds of porn snippets an drug-related dialogue. Eyetofuk's electrogrind is more chaotic and complex than, say, SMES, Libido Airbag or Purulent Wormjizz, but is a similar kind of low-fi weirdness.
Slightly less insane is Putrid Whore from Italy, whose drum machine-fueled goregrind is full of chaotic slimy riffing, massive chunky riffage and the occasional warped groove, but they inject their own strain of weirdness into this with polka samples, saccharine strings, ridiculously deep pitch shifted vocal noises, brief belches of fucked-up electropop and hardcore techno, the latter mainly showing up on their last song. It's brutal, brain-damaged electro-goregrind that would have fit right in on one of Alarma's 100 Way Splatter Fetish compilations.
Features gross artwork, of course, including some Boiled Angel style cartoon art inside the booklet.
