Now, I\u2019ve never spent time in the depths of a sewer system and neither have I ever eaten pond algae, but after listening to Masticated Cadaver I feel like I\u2019ve experienced both. Despite having reviewed the band\u2019s debut 2023 demo Necrotic Mutation<\/em><\/a>, I still know very little about this Ontario, Canada-based act but the indecipherable seaweed gurgling is enough to keep the murky mystery going.<\/p>\n

This is simply gory grinding death whereby the chesty vocal phlegm acts as another instrument to add to the writhing heap of cistern slop. What you\u2019ll get suffocated by are some seriously groovy riffs mixed with hairdryer blasts of vile bile; \u2018Decay Within A Pool Of Excrement\u2019 is a filthy example of such a marrying of mucus-coated drudgery.<\/p>\n

At its most hyper, Masticated Cadaver is a frenzy, a gushing toilet flush of innards and other ungodly bowel discharge. \u2018Decomposing Flesh\u2019 has that twisted riffage coupled with goregrind vocal slurry and frantic cereal box drumming. Same can also be said for the oozing putridity of \u2018Regurgitating Intestinal Parasites\u2019 and the equally foul \u2018Bloated Corpse\u2019, an ultra heavy and slime filled gateau of churning splatter.<\/p>\n

Yes, this an acquired taste and will only appeal to bog monsters and vomit drinkers, so I guess I may be one or both of those.<\/p>\n
