ORGAN TRAIL - Appetite For Dissection
Horror Pain Gore Death Productions
Now this is what you call great death grind and worthy of blasting in the early AM hours. There are times I wish I could click the outdoor speakers (which are on the back deck) on at this time. Yeah then the cops would arrive and fine me. Yep extremely loud music is a No No. But gunfire a half mile away, that's OK.
Well enough of my semi residential living in the city stories. Here we have a band who hail from PA and Maryland plus they have a guy from NC. Basically ORGAN TRAIL, who started out in 2013, are a band made up of extreme metal veterans. Their singer is/was in a Virginia death grind band called MACERATED. Their drummer played with VISCERAL DISGORGE as well as RIVERS OF NIHIL.
Moving on their bassist is a local NC guy who plays in PATHOGENESIS. I saw them years ago and got one of their CDs. Finally their guitarist use to play in a Maryland DM band called ACRID. As crazy as it is I'm familiar with 3/4's of the band member's previous outings. Which is probably why I can appreciate how these four talented individuals came together to create a great fuckin album.
How great is it you ask? OK first off all the tropes for a great death grind sound are in place. The vocalist is a versatile maniac. He's got the gutturals, the growls and the psycho screams/howls. The guitarist is an all out assault specialist with the riffs. On certain times he's channeling early Swede Death sounds with cables leading to an electric chair. Other times the guy is pulling off PIG DESTROYER style riff carnage and yet with touches of groove. WTF?
As far as the rhythm section goes the bass playing on here is thick like a two by four to the head. And of course the drum work is flat out insane. So yeah this is what death grind in the modern era is supposed to be. Great intense sounds, a few sound-bites thrown in. The first one about being a passenger in a car is funny as fuck because I've been there.
So in the long run you've got a perfect album as far as death grind goes here in the states. There's fourteen cuts in less than twenty five minutes. And their last song is a FLESH PARADE cover "'Bout Had It". Who the fuck does a FLESH PARADE cover in 2022? Better yet who remembers FLESH PARADE, other than me? This band does and that's another killer reason why this is a perfect death grind release.
