VARIOUS ARTISTS - Acts Of Sadistic Cruelty


 

VARIOUS ARTISTS - Acts Of Sadistic Cruelty

Comatose Music 


Why yes I am a Comatose Music fan and I still wear my BLOODSOAKED "Brutally Butchered" shirt proudly. I even wear it to work on days when I have to cut the meat. But anyways what we have here is a Four Way split compilation from some bands who know what Brootal Death Metal is really all about. Some of em are even alumni of the label.


Starting off this bevy of sickness we have KILL EVERYTHING. They're a four piece BDM act from the Dallas / Fort Worth area of Texas. They've also got a previous full length out on this label. Musically their three cuts on here are straight up slow dirge sounding death metal. The vocals give it a real sick twist. They're not pig squeals or satanic frog sounds. So I'm going with feral hog vocals.


Next up, since I survived that last one, it's NECROTICGOREBEAST who are a four piece goregrind act from Canada. I'm familiar with em as well. Musically it's standard fair with trudging guitars that come across like artillery strikes. The vocals are bestial albeit of a still unidentified feral animal that lurks in the Great White North. These fiends contribute three cuts as well.


By the way these guys are also Comatose Music alum and I highly recommend their two previous albums from the label. I'm speaking of their 2019 self titled debut and the Human Deviance Galore full length from last year. Yeah this is some of the best modern day goregrind you'll find today.


So third on the list is VIRULENT EXCISION who are a five piece act who delve in simple crushing death metal not so far removed from MORTICIAN. The key phrase here is "far removed" since this band has an actual drummer. They're only allowed two cuts on here. 


And last on this comp is the almighty GOREPOT who hail from Taiwan and have been around longer then every other band on this compilation. Yes GOREPOT are legendary. Even the Chi-Com gov't in the mainland hates em. They deserve four cuts on here because they're funny as well as psychotic. Their tracks include sound-bites galore and their sound is sorta experimental avant-grind which is brootal as well as total engrossing. 


As always when it comes to split releases I treat em like wrestling bouts. And in this fatal brootal four way it's GOREPOT and NECROTICGOREBEAST as the last two contenders. Who wins? Ah this was a tough one but it's fuckin NECROTICGOREBEAST. And oh yeah you're a winner if you get this release. Nuff Said.
