Double Review Day - Whore

Whore is honestly one of those bands you would not believe until you heard it yourself. The most offensive band I know of, and proud of it. The ammount of sleaze oozing from my speakers leaves me in awe. The audio equivalent of rape. There is nothing to complain about with this band, except maybe the production on the first album left a little to be desired. Endlessly entertaining samples, talent in every position, and enough sleaze to fill an alley (the perfect setting for rape!).

Unfinished Business - 9/10



Honestly, the only point off is for production. This album brought me into a whole new way of listening to metal. I wasn't even aware of the hate genre's existance. I just figured, maybe gore is as offensive as it gets. I was wrong. When you have lyrics like these, you are treading on new grounds.

Everything Will Be Alright

My friend's parents trusted me
They let me watch their kid
It was the biggest mistake they ever made
I molested that piece of shit

I did more than change that kid's diapers
I fingered that five month old cunt
She used my cock for a teething ring
Cuz I just wanted to fuck it's life up

That's it. That's the whole fucking song. In between sick double bass from $25 (Shad) and killer riffs from Franko America (Maniac Neil), too. Not to mention the quality of Rob Fornicator's vocals. Understandable, yet some of the deepest I've ever heard. Not to mention the best album art ever from Mike Diana! This album is all hatred against women, children, and basically any other living thing. And I love every minute of it. Old school sounding, but with the best elements of the new. Definitely on my top albums list. Available now on Razorback Records I might add, even though this band is on Moribund.


Doing it For the Kids - 10/10 (I'd give it more if I could)


Everything about this album is perfect. The production, the vocals, the music, the lyrics. Nothing at all to complain about. I may as well not even review this, and just say, fucking buy it already. But that would be too easy.

I have no idea where most of these samples come from, but they're pretty awesome. Not as good as the samples from Fornicator, but still great. Songs like Bottoming Out and Down for the Brown are favorites, as far as samples go.

As far as music goes, the highlights are songs 1-22, which happens to be the entire album. It even features a guest appearance from the mighty Gurge of Lord Gore! The inner art from Mike Diana is even sicker than last time.

Expect heavy production, heavy vocals, heavy riffs, and just the ballsiest sleaze in existance. Unfortunately, Whore has broken up, but if they ever make another album, bet that I'll review it and give it an extremely high rating.

Liquid Skull - Abscessive Autopsy

Tracklist -
1. Protoplasmic Perfection
2. Artery Corruption
3. Spinalectomy
4. Psychopathology

Rated - 8/10

I found out about this band through myspace. I think they added me, I don't remember. Whatever the case, this is none of that new sound crap. They're not competing to see who can play fastest. They just know gore and stick to it. Good dudes. Now, about the album, or demo rather. Every time I start to listen to it, I get so disappointed when the intro to Protoplasmic Perfection ends. Such a tribute to the better days of Autopsy and Impetigo. The vocals hit me unexpectedly, as I was expecting a more deep growl type thing. It's more like a high pitched growl. That's pretty cool, as that doesn't happen a lot in this genre. Change is good, sometimes. The second song reminds me more of Cannibal Corpse for whatever reason. Barnes era of course. But that's only the beginning, it seeps right back to the Impetigo roots soon afterwards. Then the guitar solo has the greatest 80s feel to it. A shredfest worthy of Slayer even. But it never has a feel of plagerism. Just a band that knows the style and perfects it. I'd have to say that this demo could land them on my label, if I had one, in a heartbeat. An entire album like this would be great, as I'm sure it would be a lot more varied. I'd feel good giving this a 8/10. Maybe a little stingy, a low 9/10 at best, but this is a VERY high 8/10.

Introduction

My name shall henceforth be known as Slasher Gorehound. This site will be used for both my underground music reviews, and personal rantings. When I say underground, I mean bands with less than 10,000 fans. Death metal, grindcore, pornogrind, goregrind. All of these bands deserve attention, and I'll be damned if I won't give it to them. I'm not an anal reviewer that will just say you're good or you're not, and mention every little flaw. I like death metal. I also don't like slam bands. You probably shouldn't send me your demo if you are one.

I'm particularly partial to material from Razorback records. Hint hint...

I'll put up reviews and rants periodically, at least once a week, for one or the other. If you're an underground band, send me your demo. Hard copy, or online, whichever. The first band I'll be reviewing is Liquid Skull, as soon as their demo arrives in the mail. Stay tuned.
