The hilariously named Grandmaster Flush is the person behind Cronenberg, a fiendish Nova Scotia, Canada-based cacophony that is now onto its second full-length offering which has emerged just a few years after the impressive 2020 debut, Gorehammer<\/em>.<\/p>\n

For any death metal fans who like slurping vocals then Cronenberg will whet your appetite, as will those gnarly riffs which tumble and rumble in a slightly unorthodox manner that at times isn\u2019t too removed from a punky attitude. It\u2019s still very much all delivered in a blackened death metal vein with a rather mechanical drum rattle, but I really do dig the catchiness some of the tracks offer up.<\/p>\n

\u2018Thing\u2019 is such a squelching tumult you can\u2019t help tap a severed limb along too, and those rough n\u2019 ready riffs continue throughout what is essentially a despicable opus of filth. The monstrous tides of \u2018Hideous Son\u2019 are as equally gnashing and visceral, as are the barrages of \u2018Chewed Up And Spat Out\u2019. \u2018Consumed From Within\u2019 showcases the raw aggression of Cronenberg, and then there are the melodious streaks of \u2018Psionic Monster\u2019 \u2013 a gargantuan sounding rattle of commanding vocal chants.<\/p>\n

Any fans of horror-obsessed death metal will revel in the unsavoury and graven images this boiling, toiling monstrosity of miasma coughs up as each vile riff spits and bubbles like some geyser of festering gore.<\/p>\n
