I don\u2019t know much about this French act but while clearly influenced by the lights of UK veterans Carcass, this nine-track affair is a different beast even though its feet are firmly rooted in the death metal and death grind genre.<\/p>\n

There are plenty of blast beasts on offer here and duelling vocals which are expressed as guttural bellows and yappy snaps. Of course, with titles such as \u2018Maggot Glutted Lungs\u2019 and \u2018Putrid Vasectomy\u2019 you are bound to get plenty of splattery extremity, but there\u2019s a lot of melody on offer here too.<\/p>\n

\u2018Heart Of The Swarm\u2019 has a distinctive catchy chug propelled by the rotten guitar work and then we are hit with some truly hyper drums, but as this festering festival of the foul unravels it becomes quite accessible, and thankfully never leaks into the sillier realms of death grind.<\/p>\n

The aforementioned \u2018Maggot Glutted Lungs\u2019 is one of the best tracks on the opus where again there\u2019s that vocal mix and the hyper drums. I also love the vile chugging expressed on \u2018Ascariasis In The Womb\u2019.<\/p>\n

This is gore-soaked death metal with some crazy percussion, rotten riffs and vocal schizophrenia. Yep, it\u2019s fleeting and probably about as disposable as a severed limb, but there is a joy in such medical dramas.<\/p>\n
