BRAIN CORROSION / RIPPED TO SHREDS - Exhumed from Eastern Tombs Split
Horror Pain Gore Death Productions
What we have here is a battle for Taiwan extreme metal representative supremacy. Well maybe not but that's a good way to start off this bout. BRAIN CORROSION are a three piece grind act from Taiwan. Musically they follow the Eastern grind style template. You've got your maniacal vocals which on here vary from screams to bestial lyrical interpretations. The drum work is pile driving and the riffs are pure savagery. These guys unleash eight cuts onto your virgin consciousness. For us adults we want more.
Next up is RIPPED TO SHREDS who are a band I know about. Actually the band is really a one man project by multi instrumentalist Andrew Lee. This guy pushes his love of Euro style old school death metal through a filter of Eastern grind and psychotic life experiences. He delivers four cuts, one original and three covers. The original, "Rotting Stenches Unknown" is fuckin great. Of course it's his choice of covers which he's known for on past releases which gets interesting. On here he plays it safe with covers of GRIDLINK and ASSUCK. But it's his cover of "Samhallets Offer" by ASOCIAL which threw me. I've got ASOCIAL on a tape somewhere.
So with every split release I look at em as a wrestling bout. Since I'm an old school wrestling fan I'd have to toss some chairs into the ring in order to end the bout and call it a draw. Hey look, Horror Pain Gore Death Productions is from Philadelphia, PA. So maybe they remember ECW (Extreme Championship Wrestling) and the mayhem happening in some of those bouts.
