7 Minutes Of Nausea / Gorgonized Dorks - Split 7"

Old 7MON live stuff compiled here in a split with prolific noise mongers Gorgonized Dorks. On black, and strictly limited to 338 copies on Bringer Of Gore Records. I have number 57.

I got this from Katz in Gorgonized Dorks when we were mailing each other about the Fart Wank / Gorgonized Dorks lathe cut split square 8" that never materialized (but now with the existence of Pointless Records, could maybe see the light of day). The Gorgonized Dorks side represents their sound fully, and is almost typical of them. 7MON's side consists of a horrible live recording from the 1980s.

Carnival of Carnage - Chilli Con Carnage

 

 

Carnival of Carnage appears to be a pre-Tumour project of Rogore (ex-LDOH). As far as I can tell it was a fairly short lived affair, with one album, one EP and one live 7" (this). It's pretty cool to listen to, it's like Tumour with a full band and a bit more of a groove. I don't know if I necessarily would have bought this record if I'd known it was a live 7" (I'm always the best at researching beforehand) but it's out on Bringer of Gore and is cheap as chips, so no worries there. For cruddily-recorded goregrind fans only.

Deche-Charge / Necrocannibalistic Vomitorium - Split Tape

This split opens with a disappointing Deche-Charge recording of a live set. It takes forever to get started and when it does, it really doesn't amount to much at all. Recorded grind/noisecore/whatever can go one of two ways (both of which sound awful) - the recording can really capture the energy and/or dirty sound in a nutshell, or just fall flat on it's fucking face. Unfortunately for the legendary Deche-Charge, their contribution to this split falls (no pun intended) into the latter category.

 

NxVx on the other hand are much more with it, which is not something I ever imagined saying. Their material here is a lo fi bass-driven polka soundtrack for fisting your (preferably German) partner to. It is that filthy. Coupled with the mid-placed groovy goregrind is a whole farmyard's worth of vocal varieties, to keep things extra weird. I won't lie, every song does sound the same (until they break into something slowly and funky like jazz, with stick claps and everything), but there has to be some give and take with this particularly niche genre.

This tape was put out (and is still available) on the dank as fuck Belgian Bringer of Gore Records and is limited to 200 hideously orange copies. No links for this on Youtube, sorry guys!

Agathocles / P.O.S. - Split 7"

Another Agx split with (apparent) original songs here, so I went ahead and got it from the Goatgrind Records distro. The Agx stuff is fairly good but the sound leaves a lot to be desired. As far as I can tell it isn't live or anything, but it really is a nasty recording. Yes, yes, I am still fully aware of what genre I'm reviewing here but is it too much to want on some clarity every now and then? Regardless, Agathocles do what they do best here, and I should just be thankful that the songs are originals.

 

P.O.S. on the other hand aren't worth mentioning at all. Well, I guess they are but they their stuff on this disc did nothing for me and I found them extremely uninspiring, and even rather boring. Oh well. I've only given it one listen so far but my first impression is rather grim. This record is out on 330 black copies thanks to the wonderful Bringer of Gore records. 

PS I mentioned at the beginning of this post that I got this record from Goatgrind Records, who is unfortunately closing down. Check out his closing down deals on 7"s, tapes and CDs. Also, there are no links for this online. Gutted. 

Tumour - Prepare to Putrefy

Hells bells I'll say one thing; Bringer Of Gore Rex loves the dirtier underbelly of grindcore almost as much as he loves his badly pixelated cover artwork! No frills here once again, just Tumour belting out blast after blast of indecipherable watery cyber grind. almost sounding like your mother drowning in piss after stealing the original LDOH demo and adding a electronic drum track to it (before she drowned in piss). Yes, this is that ridiculous I needed to use something equally ridiculous to describe it. Sprinkle in a few bad movie samples as song intros and presto you've got yet another Tumour release.

But it's so deliciously fucking excellent. Why idiots like me religiously buy every new instalment of shit like this i will never know, but there is just something about it that's so good. Maybe it's the dirty horrible sound that is so BAD is what makes it so GOOD, does that make any sense? It's almost like B-music. you have shitty awful crap films with huge cult followings, and this is the musical equivalent.  Maybe? Maybe not. For true goregrind fans only.

 

PS - This song isn't from this 7", there are no tracks from it on Youtube that I could find.

Agathocles / VRV - Split 7"

Released in June 2009 on Bringer Of Gore Records in Belgium. Limited edition of 335 on black.

Agathocles side is more re-recordings of classic tracks, but the recordings are great. VRV side is pointless noisecore, which is actually a bit grating on my patience. As with most split 7"s featuring Agathocles, this is most definitely a completist's item only.
