NEKRO DRUNKZ - Lavatory Carnage review


NEKRO DRUNKZ - Lavatory Carnage

MORIBUND RECORDS


The children of IMPETIGO have returned. Actually that's not exactly true since there has been a plethora of bands influenced by the Bloomington, Illinois maniacs ever since their Horror of the Zombies full length was unleashed upon us in 1992. The NEKRO DRUNKZ from Oregon are just one of the latest to spew the same type of sleazy death, thrash and grind. Also they (aka: Disgustor and Crystal Seth) have been doing so for the past seven years with various full lengths, splits and yeah, live releases on cassette which are highly collectible I might add.


This duo of disgust is not new to me. I got suckered into picking up one of their past releases just cause of the cover art. Speaking of which, the cover art on here, by Matt Stikker, is exceptional. But anyways on here the duo's latest full length you've got a decent 18 songs of pure sick death grind filth. Let me add that this ain't your typical brutal shtick. The musicianship is first rate, imagine CARCASS (ok that's pushing it so how about GENERAL SURGERY.) going this route and you've got NEKRO DRUNKZ down. You've got these filth coated death grind riffs with duel vocals (Disgustor doing the low toned death voice while Crystal Seth adds some high pitch squeals, shrieks and vomiting blood sounds) add to that the dive bomb like sharp solos by Crystal Seth that slice through the murky depths the songs trudge though. 

Yeah I'm a sucker for bands like this. Then again I've been a fan of IMPETIGO and MACABRE for ages so it goes without saying yeah this is a fantastic release. But of course since it's on Moribund it has to be good. Yes I'm bias and you can go fuck yourself.

Rating: 4/5
