As you can probably tell from the band moniker, album title and cover, this is another rancid dollop of death metal. It\u2019s been six years since this unhygienic clan bestowed upon us their filthy, scum-ridden 2019 demo Immense Thickening Vomit<\/em>, and now, just when you thought you\u2019d rid your bathroom of all the mould, Mephitic Corpse creeps back.<\/p>\n

Thirty-minutes of putridity will be more than enough here before you crawl to the toilet and unleash a projectile spew to cleanse yourself of the gut rot these Californian bowel munchers cause. Imagine then a horrid slop of ingredients including a sickening snare drum and soupy riffage only Mortician could be proud of. All bar one of the 11 tracks sit below three and a half minutes and each one of these is excreted like a grindcore cowpat whose sloppy origins once formed in the bacterial cesspit of Carcass, General Surgery, Disgorge etc.<\/p>\n

As \u2018Obsessive Compulsive Dismemberment\u2019 erupts from the pus-caked cavity one may begin to question the state of their stereo system, because this squirt of audible diarrhoea is one hellish slush of sewage. Even with such vile goo, Mephitic Corpse have become masters of creating catchy, slurping riffs which coat the ear carnal in a mouldy fluff before they are then, in turn, blown away by the percussive flurries of Eric Liewald, a hyperactive madman whose spends most of the time using drainage pipes to bash the heads in of rats in order to create his noise.<\/p>\n

The titles come thick n\u2019 fast like chunks of carrot puked from the gut, like \u2018Screwgum My Spleen\u2019, \u2018Teething On Clots\u2019, \u2018Rectal Bugs\u2019 and the finale \u2018Gutpuked Maggot Treatment\u2019, each one a fermented cocktail of festering fuzz and morgue gunk to match the sickening spidery chaos of the band logo. \u2018Grisly Vomit On Self\u2019 lives up to its title, although one can\u2019t help but chuckle at the tin can drumming and the all round coating of scuzz, and the same could also be said for the hyper trash can thrash n\u2019 mulch of \u2018Blistering Red Corpse Under Max Thermostat\u2019.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s all about the riffs here: deep n\u2019 dirty churning soup consisting of cysts, scabs, sores and ghoul gravy. Most certainly an acquired taste with its goofy goriness, I guarantee that those of a weaker disposition will be reaching for the anti-sickness tablets by the end.<\/p>\n
