ENTRENCHED INGURGITATION  Genesis Of Heterogeneous  CD   (Bizarre Leprous)   11.98


��Remember that infamous "experimentation" scene that took place on board the alien spacecraft in Robert Lieberman's 1993 film Fire In The Sky? It's still heralded as one of the most disturbing horror set pieces from that decade, and it looks like made a big impression on the Midwestern sci-fi goregrind band Entrenched Ingurgitation. Their debut mini-album Genesis Of Heterogeneous clocks in at twenty-three minutes, but every second is packed with the band's insane brand of insanely chaotic, immensely brutal gore-tech that is totally obsessed with alien horror. The songs are blasts of slamming steamroller grooves and absurdly bass-heavy riffage, all splattered with sickening electronic glitch and infested with visions of forcible insectoid impregnation and extra-terrestrial experimentation on human meat-sacs, down to the album's wonderfully vile album art.

�� This is definitely one of the weirder goregrind albums to come through here lately, a bizarre brand of ultra-heavy goregrind laced with lots of disturbing samples from alien abduction flicks, and spiked with weird bass guitar interludes that slither like some oily black tentacle out of the band's crushing downtuned grooves. The vocals are a disgusting inhuman gurgle that often exists more as an additional layer of noise, an incomprehensible mess of spluttering, belching hatred, a bestial bellow that is pitchshifted into a greasy, undulating mess of pre-verbal horror. And while I sure as hell wouldn't describe the band's repulsive, noise-addled assault as being remotely catchy or accessible, these guys do puke up some seriously titanic sludgy riffage on songs like "Gestation Of Inhuman Aberrations" and "Removal Of Human Encephalon", dropping these massive repetitive riffs into their burbling, gore-soaked alien nightmares that prove to be monstrously groovy. Rigid, mechanical-sounding drum machine programming adds to the whole inhuman feel of Entrenched Ingurgitation frantic thrash rampage and the churning slower rhythms, and there's a few moments here that start to take on a vaguely industrial quality. Most of the tracks on Genesis Of Heterogeneous are short, two-minute blasts of that bilious, burly goresludge, but at the very end the band shifts into a longer stretch of mutant robotic goregrind for closer "Genesis Of Heterogenous/End Transmission", starting off as a crushing blast of bulldozing goregrind, but then suddenly transforms into an ultra-abrasive electronic noisescape made up of twisted backwards melodies and splintered drones that have been distorted and over-modulated into a sickening assault of deformed digital chaos that stretches all the way out to the end of the disc.
