14 - Confessions Of An Anal Whore 15 - Gonorrhea Breath 16 - Naughty or Nice? 17 - Addicted To Analingus

Third in the list we got Fuck Saw, a fresh vomit bucket of apocalyptic/techno goregrind which has all the elements rightfully arranged for a lustful feast of porn galore. The vocals here are a single note frog croak, which is fine, but sounds a bit less incisive than Psychosadistic Haterapist, where they’re way noisier and heavier (hey those songs in this split are real killers). What however relevantly beats the shit out of the other bands here, is the sheer speed these songs can attain at times. The drum machine programming doesn’t convince me 100%, it just doesn’t sound just like a rave-party hammer like in SMES or Libido Airbag; it’s mechanical in a little bit less catchier way. But the songs can be fast, and the arrangements are flawless. There are some hints at gabber/speedcore sonorities as well, and some decently done, but the overall works seems a bit undecided. I am not saying Fuck Saw is not good, this stuff is excellent indeed, but let’s say it has a bit less personality than Tumour or Psychosadistic Haterapist and just get a bit overshadowed here.

11 - Alley Sweeper 12 - I Stalk 13 - Stain Of A Razor

Psychosadistic Haterapist, is a bit noisier and a bit more serious than the previous Bloody Diarrhoea. They still use mechanical drums and froglike harmonizer effects, but the sound here is much more claustrophobic and darker. In some parts they even remind me a bit of Catasexual Urge Motivation, even though the overall work is less refined. I like the use of eerie samples in the background, and the Goreopsy-like echo the vocals have, in this grey, fuzzy soundscape. The structure of these song are closer to ambient than happy goregrind, and even the sporadic chugs are not just slam dancing hits. I like the insane, serious approach of this band, and the song titles seem do deal with serial killers and sadistic rapes, not just comic play on words. If there is some band which seem to be able to brandish the Vampiric Motive axe, this seems to be the case.

Bloody Diarrohea plays light hearted, crunchy groove-goregrind a bit in the vein of Jig Ai, Cock & Ball Torture, Cumgun etc. dressed with samplings from relatively mainsream works like Sin City and the Happy Tree Family. Riminiscences of Gut and the German sludge gore are strong, and surely the sound evolves around the heavy power chords and downtuned guitar shovelwrk. The songs are fresh and hold for the whole running time, but sometimes the over the top humour becomes a bit boring. Some good shit might come from here, however.

Erwin continues his incursion in the realm of bizarre rave music splattering tons of inhuman gabber/techno sonorities with characteristically bull frog vocals in this brilliant new Cd. The Schijten Met Een Stijve project has been active for some time now, with a load of releases that include a rather strong partnership with Topon Das of Fuck The Facts. I admit my favorite Schijten Met Een Stijve stuff is still probably the split they did with Lymphatic Phlegm, maybe a bit more contaminated by silly computer game effects than this Gory Gory thing, but this shit is still excellent (and has plenty of ignorant samples as well). You can really tell when one can handle the mixer pads and sound editing programs, this shit has a sick touch which is absent in many other bedroom projects I have heard recently. The sound is in overall quite dense, with a kind of machinery-like chain factory sound going in the background. The beats are pure acid nightmares, the kind that must be quite fun to hear at a party with lots of stroboscopic lights and amphetamines gnawing the back of the brain. The fun element in the project is still showing through the song titles, although I doubt there is any kind of relationship between these names and the concept between each song. It might be my impression only but the second half of the album slowly tends to sound a bit more relaxed with jungle-like sonorities. The layout is minimalistic and sadly mediocre in the usual Bizarre Leprous vein, Roman should really consider investing a bit more in the packaging of the albums instead of releasing dozens of half improvised covers, while his releases are usually super, the layout always looks to me cheap and hurried. Actually Schijten Met Een Stijve is one of the bands which can possibly live without any layout at all maybe, but the realm of psychedelic in which this band lives is also ripe with so many cool ideas (using glow effects and transparency are two cool examples) for the packaging any good artist could go on experimenting for days. As usual, you have to take this music with a pinch of salt, it s obvious you can t compare S.M.E.S. with Last Days of Humanity, as they re totally different concepts. My take is that this stuff rules at the right time of the day. But this is exactly the kind of shit you either love or hate. If one has to make some cleansing, S.M.E.S. are sure to stay in my playlist.

I enjoyed Bukkake Violence Kommando even more than Menstrual Drunkers, for their reharsal noisy, sewage sound. They play something closer to Gut in lyrics and spirit, but the music itself is definitely more into very very early Meat Shits, with added mid tempos. The sound is a boiling stew of noise and super harmonized vocals with an added edge of live sound, resulting in a drum which is hardly perceptible, and guitars that are little more than grating sound. This is the kind of garage noise which brings me back to my first days into noisecore, and still today I admit I find this shit to be much more sincere and personally appealing than bedroom projects where 3/4th of the band elements is called Cubase and Fruity Loops. When you cross untalented noise, a love for the gross and extreme and totally shit recording, the result is a mass of pure instinctive energy. For some reason, it still has a magneting feel.

The town of Bologna is finally stirring from its long period of torpor which lasted forever, always one or two steps behind the rest of Italy regarding extreme Metal/Core scenes (not to mention an horizontal ignorance in terms of scene events which has always been appalling). Grind Block is a label from that city which is being very prolific in releasing a shitload of noise/gore/grind projects on semi-professional Cd-rs, a bit in the vein of Fecal Matter Discorporated from US. Despite the home printed covers, this shit looks great. Menstrual Drunkers (which probably means “drunkards” in Italo-English) is a cybergrinding terror one man band not too dissimilar to Anal Penetration in style, with ultra fast drum machine programming and a guttural layer of harmonzied vocals. The recording is probably 100% digital so the sound comes out almost perfect, despite the distortion is quite heavy. While porn lyrics are all fine for me, I definitely prefer the sicker titles to the the humorous ones. Goregrind needs some seriousness too, it’s become a bit too infalted with smiling teenagers and stupid band pics in pink skirts. More in detail, almost all songs deal with tampons and menstrual blood in one way or another, which is, well, just another way of specializing in one field I guess, as Creamface did with facial cumshots and bukkakes. There is really not much I could criticize here, the music genre itself has a quite rigid set of rules and we don’t stray too much from the classic (but all the more enjoyable) flow of goregrinding vocals and machine gun drum. Some samples of tampon ads are added in the mix, in French, Italian and English, just to spice up things. Nice product anyway, support the band!

B…but…but what the fuck am I listening to? Is this supposed to be Hard Core??? Where’s the hard part just to know? This shit has no power, no rage, no push, nothing. Not to mention what the fuck does this cover stand for? A fucking picture of a camera? And on the back the door of a metro? I am missing some elements to understand this shit but my take is that it isn’t worth a fuck. It is a sort of mellow punk/rock with big pop elements and soporific howls here and there. Total crap..
