GORE MACHINE - Macerated & Liquified review


 

GORE MACHINE - Macerated & Liquified

Horror Pain Gore Death Productions 


Just to be honest I've grown numb to the extremism which brutal death metal / goregrind has become. It doesn't phase me no matter how hard the bands try to be offensive. For me, if I get a smile out of it and the music is fairly brutal then I'll give it a thumbs up. 


Now to the fans well when a band is truly offensive it's like salvation. I mean you're busting your ass all day at a job or whatever. You're probably stuck having to listen to the most shittiest music around. So sure you get home and blast something that'll offend the neighbors a block away. 


So with that said here we have a release by Pennsylvania's GORE MACHINE. So right out of the box I'd say cool band name and the album cover is far better looking than average. Just for the record GORE MACHINE is a one man brutal death metal / goregrind act. The one man is named Druesome and is responsible for the usual aka: all instruments, vocals, and sampling duties. 


Macerated & Liquified is a concept album loosely based on what is commonly referred to as The Darwin Awards. The ten cuts on here are all about individuals who did totally fucked up things which not only defy common sense. But end up having these people either dying or totally fucking themselves up so they cannot contribute further to the gene pool. 


For each song Druesome gives a short narration about a fucked up incident and then the music comes in. Sound-wise the songs are decent chuggy heavy riffs, some fast and grinding while others well chug along and there's a muffled atmospheric track to boot. For me the best part of this, aside from the narratives, is Druesome's choice in brutal vocal styles. I mean you've got the intense pig squeals, the vomit vocals, the toilet bowel vocals, the zombie cancer patient, etc.


In the end Macerated & Liquified is an interesting full length. I give total props to Druesome's obscene vocals. But the concept idea going on here is damm good. This gets more than a thumbs up. I believe if you're a fan of this sub-genre than this album is a must have. I would gladly hear this guy's next release with the same concept as long as he expands on the musical part.
