BATHTUB SHITTER  Wall Of World Is Words  CD   (Power It Up)   14.98
Wall Of World Is Words IS CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE FOR ORDER

In the entire pantheon of mutant J-grind, there is noone quite like the mighty Bathtub Shitter. Since the last 90's, Bathtub Shitter have developed their

shit-obsessed philosophy into something more akin to Zen thought than the adolescent execretory fantasies that you usually find scrawled across the lyric

sheets of the gore/splatter grind underground. Or at least my corroded brain has reached the point where their scatological lyrics and mangled English have

taken on a more profound meaning since I've been listening to the CD re-issue of their Wall Of World Is Words mini-album from 2000 on repeat all

day. C'mon, you can't tell me that there isn't some heavy stuff in lyrics like "...need a gap in the pants / say hello from it / Speak with wind or shit /

One word on the world / No need the wall here...". Whether or not you want to attempt to glean hidden meaning in the Shitter's cryptic scat poetry, this 12

song eruption, which originally came into this world as a 10" and subsequently went out of print, features some incredible grindcore destruction with a fresh

remastering job and additional bonus tracks, making this pretty crucial for Bathtub Shitter disciples. Wall delivers just over 20 minutes of bizarro

blast violence, unleashing blazing cyclones of grindnoise, gloriously heavy mid-tempo thrash parts, and a couple of slooow, dissonant sludgecore dirges, and

frequently toss in killer WTF parts like straight-up funk breaks, melodic poppy riffs, fingerpicked classical guitar interludes, etc. Another one of bathtub

Shitter's highlights are the amazing, amazingly ridiculous vocals of lead growler Masato Morimoto, who effortlessly switches between deep monstrous

growls to hysterical, ultra high pitched squawks, oftentimes in the same verse. Includes covers of Extreme Noise Terror, Scum, and Holy Moses.
