PHARMACIST - Flourishing Extremities On Unspoiled Mental Grounds review


 

PHARMACIST - Flourishing Extremities On Unspoiled Mental Grounds

Bizarre Leprous Productions


A few years ago I heard this band's debut full length Medical Renditions of Grinding Decomposition. My first impressions about em came in quick aka: they sound like fuckin CARCASS. Better yet they sounded like the gore / death grind era of CARCASS. Yeah fuck you Heartwork posers!


So here we have this Japanese two piece act's second full length. This is after two years of doing short form releases many of which were splits. Go ahead and be a collector scum's dream. But anyways this new one is just a continuation from their debut. 


Musically yeah the CARCASS homage is still intact but with an added jolt. With this band it's all about the song structures. Sure you've got some damm filthy sounding riffs, barked carnal vocals plus pounding fuckin drums. But then the guitar soloing jumps in for some laser like melody breaks. 


The songs on here are actually long for a gore grind act. Of the seven tracks on here six go past the seven minute mark. Nothing boring or repetitive either in fact there's plenty of room for multiple time changes. There's plenty of head banging melody, head crushing riffs and of course surgically placed soloing. All in all this is amazing.
