A big, muddy pile of Australian death metal gore with very little concern for song structure, dynamics, variation, or any other basic musical principle. Pretty sure this is what all death metal sounds like to people who don't like death metal. Absolutely disgusting.
On a different topic: some crusties I went to high school with (two of whom formed Inure during senior year) had a succession of jokey grindcore bands, the best of which was called Morbidly Obese, whose gimmick was that they were all trying to get extremely fat and die -- a fool's errand, based on the fact that they were all vegan. Seemed pretty hilarious at the time.
On another different topic: have any of you ever seen Naked Blood? What a fucked up movie. It's a Japanese gore movie about this creep who modifies an experimental drug to turn pain into pleasure, then secretly gives it to three women; one cuts off, cooks, and eats her own body parts, including her nipple and labia, and another engages in some serious self-mutilation due to body image issues. What happens with the other one? Well, you'll just have to watch the movie to find out, which I seriously doubt you will because there's no way it's streaming anywhere. But I bought the DVD on Ebay like 20 years ago, so if you live in Portland, hit me up. (This is a joke.)
EDIT: A helpful commenter hipped me to the existence of a full rip of Naked Blood on YouTube, so have at it!

I just recently saw Naked Blood for the first time and I was blown away! A decent-enough rip is up in its entirety on YouTube somehow
ReplyDeleteHow the hell is this still o YouTube? Jayzus!
DeleteHell yeah, thanks! I guess no one's worried about the copyright on that one. And I think graphic violence and nudity are both allowed on YouTube if they're in service of 'art' so Naked Blood makes the grade.
DeleteAaah, welcome to the wonderful world of Aussie grindcore! You haven't lived until you've gotten sickeningly off your face drunk at a backyard gig in shitty suburbia with bands playing this amazing filth. Guaranteed to end with at least two fist fights, a highly inappropriate game of spin the bottle in the driveway in front of all the neighbours and the cops turning up. If you dig this, your next stop should be a band called Dead Root.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I know very little about Aussie death/grind. Never heard Dead Root, I'll check em out.
DeleteDead Root did a split with these guys a little while back which is completely sick in every way. Their stuff's a bit hard to get onto but give this a spin:
