GORE MACHINE - Congealed and Foaming review

 

GORE MACHINE - Congealed and Foaming

Horror Pain Gore Death Productions

Here's the second full length by this one man Brutal Death Metal / Goregrind act hailing from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Yeah that place is also known as the city of brotherly love. Your opinion will change once you give this one a listen. Then you'll know why I call Philly "Hostile City, USA." The one man involved here is named Druesome and is responsible for the usual aka: all instruments, vocals, and sampling duties.

On the band's debut, Macerated & Liquified from 2024, Druesome pretty much created a concept album dedicated to The Darwin Awards. Basically it was all about individuals who did totally fucked up things which not only defy common sense. But end up having the people either dying or totally fucking themselves up. 

This new one follows the same vein to a point. The Ten songs on here are all dedicated to people fucking them selves up. I'll give Druesome some credit because he does do research into all of these grizzly tragedies. That's better than your generic wannabe goregrind BDM act these days. 

Of course the one problem I have with this album as well as the debut is the production. I can only imagine what this would sound like if everything was amped up a touch. So for me I can just blast this in the music room till the windows shake. Hopefully the neighbors don't call the cops on me, again. 

Yeah this is another winner from Druesome. I like his altered vocal intros to each song. The hellish screams, pig squeals and grunting which pass for vocals are cool. The guitar riffs have that sick tone. The drums sound like someone beating on a plastic pickle bucket. I mean this is the real deal.

FUPA GODDESS - Fuckyourface review

 

FUPA GODDESS - Fuckyourface

Horror Pain Gore Death Productions

Actually I'm somewhat shocked, SHOCKED I SAY, to see this label put out a full length by this band. Now don't get me wrong. Horror Pain Gore Death Productions does specialize in some sick shit that no other label would touch and I'm glad for that. But this one takes their standards to a point less traveled. 

Just for the record FUPA GODDESS are a three piece act hailing from the beach or coast of two states. I'm talking about Elizabeth City, North Carolina and Virginia Beach, Virginia. We're talking tourist towns with no reason for live extreme music venues. And I might be wrong but I think this band did play an underground show here where I live, Raleigh, NC. Underground meaning a non club show as in a house show. And they pissed off the woke punk rock pussies there. 

Now I don't go to those types of shows any more. I'm too old and look it. But every once in a while I'll hear some news about all of that nonsense. I hope I'm wrong but judging from FUPA GODDESS's style of brutal death metal / gore grind as well as their lyrical subject matter. Yeah I can see how they would really piss off a bunch of modern day wanna-be punks at a house show. Now as far as I'm concerned yeah I love my BFDM / Goregrind. But FUPA GODDESS's sound / style is scraping at the bottom. 

Which also makes me shocked, SHOCKED I SAY, to see they have a discography that looks like what NUNSLAUGHTER has. Since starting out in 2021 they've got a shit ton of short form releases aka: EPs, Splits and singles. I'm kinda curious who would do a split release with this band. In a few words yeah they're fuckin prolific. So obviously yeah a compilation is in order. I mean this is low bottom psycho distorted stuff, more punk fuckin metal / grind than true death metal. If you have no standards, and that's coming from ME, then here ya go. You just might become a fan.

AROMA - Adenocarcinoma EP review

 

AROMA - Adenocarcinoma EP

Horror Pain Gore Death Productions

So do you have ten minutes to kill? Now I don't mean that literally just in case you're a knife wielding maniac reading this and thinking "well as a matter of fact I do." I'm talking time-wise since this EP is six songs under ten minutes. 

The tagline here is goregrind and yeah OK but I bet these guys love some Chris Barnes era CANNIBAL CORPSE. And frankly who doesn't? But anyways AROMA are a four piece band who are from Philadelphia, PA. That's a place which for decades now I've lovingly referred to as Filthadelphia or Hostile City, USA. 

As for this their debut release well, like I mentioned earlier it's six songs, and full on putrid filth and brutality. Musically it emanates from the primitive bowels of brutal death metal and grind. There are times when I believe the drummer is hitting an empty beer can instead of a snare drum. Yeah they're from Philly.

All in all the music does gets better from song one "Aromatic Scent of Instant Death" to the sixth cut "Reluctant Inhalation of Rancid Aerosolized Piss". That's called progression people. Now that's not saying much but with this style of extreme music you've gotta be a dedicated fan. 

I mean brutal DM / goregrind is the basement of the underground. Hell maybe below that which would mean the sewers. Be that as it may I always get a kick out of this style of extreme music. And with that said I've learned which bands are dedicated scumbags and which ones are just genre jumping posers. 

AROMA are scumbags and I mean that in the best way. And if you like this one, which ya should, then they also have an independent split release out with a similar style band called TORTURE PIG from Michigan. Hopefully HPGD can release that one as well.

SEROTONIN LEAKAGE / CHARCUTERIE - Split EP review

 

SEROTONIN LEAKAGE / CHARCUTERIE - Split EP

Horror Pain Gore Death Productions

Ladies & Gentlemen, and the rest of you who are still drawing lots. I believe this is the most disgusting release I've ever heard in my life. Now that's probably a good selling point for sure. Plus this is not a judgement on taste because there's plenty of things I don't care for musically out there. And honestly I kinda like it. So maybe it's more of a judgement on me and my appreciation for bands who will go that far or in this case that low. 

What we have here is a split release between two bands from the Philadelphia area of Pennsylvania. Yes I use to live in that state and still call Philly, Hostile City, USA. I still have family and friends up there as well. They all have my condolences over this release. I have a nephew up there. Years ago I found out he liked NILE so I sent him links to various brutal death metal acts I was listening to at the time. His reply was "Thanks Uncle John, Dad told me you were never right ever since you came back from the war." Just kidding.

But anyways as far as this release goes it starts off with four tracks by the one man band SEROTONIN LEAKAGE. The one man is Doc Dank who's responsible for all instruments and vocals. There's no titles to his tracks on here but then again why bother. It all sounds like someone blasting away on guitar and drums while someone else is recording a cancer patient trying to weaze through their oxygen max to sing while in their hospital bed. 

After that it's CHARCUTERIE with six cuts and there's vocals plus inbetween song sound clips. CHARCUTERIE, who are a two piece act, are actually the most accessible sounding on here. That's if you consider gore grind to be accessible. Well at least I do. This band is filthy, funny, bestial and down right offensive. Out of the two acts I kinda like their stuff. Rumor has it that when the lockdowns end. Both of these acts will set forth on a tour of hospices nationwide. Supposedly people are dying to see em live.

HEINOUS / FLUIDS - Snuffed / Torture Euphoric Split EP review

HEINOUS / FLUIDS - Snuffed / Torture Euphoric Split EP

Horror Pain Gore Death




The HEINOUS side of this split release opens with a news report sound clip about a human chop shop selling everything from various major body parts to severed penis's. The song is titled "Severed" and it got me thinking. The Chinese government has been known to kill prisoners and then sell their body parts on the open market. I wonder if they'll try and do that with all the dead from their Wuhan bat aids epidemic?


But anyways I digress, so who's up for some disgusting goregrind? In these times of quarantine, nothing gets people to self distance from you faster then playing something like this. Both bands here are of the same filthy line. HEINOUS are a from Phoenix, Arizona and contribute (?) four cuts of vile bile. Sound-wise they're fast, crunchy with monstrous vocals. 


On the flip you've got FLUIDS who also hail from Phoenix, Arizona. Hmmm, must be the food. But anyways they add two cuts which are slow, generally disgusting and creep out like shit from MORTICIAN's ass. Both of these bands must be fun to party with. So I'll buy the beer and you can bring over the Mexican snuff porn VHS tapes. Yeah the machine still works.
