Necrocannibalistic Vomitorium / Nunslaughter - Split 5"



This little 5" is my first ever experience with the band Nunslaughter. Sure, I've seen the name around for years but it just ended up as one of those things that I never got around to checking out. So, when they split with one of my favourite noisy acts Necrocannibalistic Vomitorium, it was the perfect opportunity to check 'em out once and for all, and I gotta say, I like what I hear! The track doesn't really last that long but it's nice and heavy with a clear and pummeling production. One day soon I'll have to do a little online rootling through some Nunslaughter stuff.

 

Necrocannibalistic Vomitorium have come leaps and bounds since first appearing on the noisecore/porngrind scene a good few years back. The recording here is crystal clear compared to some of their earlier efforts and not only that the playing is tighter than a slaughtered nun's crotch (pun obviously intended). The problem with 5"s is that they look so cool but they (rather obviously) don't hold much music. This shit is over and done with before I can fucking blink.

 

NxVx released this themselves on their prolific and rather excellent label Horns & Hoofs, whom I would definitely recommend checking out if you fancy getting a pile of NxVx stuff in one go.

Necrocannibalistic Vomitorium / SMG - Split 7"



SMG play super shady-sounding rehearsal room grind. At least, on this 7" they play that type of stuff. To be fair, the sound here is terrible. I dunno if the copy I have is warped or something but the guitar sounds absolutely hideous. It's hard to listen beyond that once you've noticed it, so I don't think I can fairly form an opinion on SMG from this 7" alone. I bought it because I want all the NxVx stuff anyway, so it's no big deal; SMG will get a further chance to impress me in the future (just what I need; more grind bands to impress me! Ha!).

 

Necrocannibalistic Vomitorium take a slightly different approach to usual on this split. Sure, it's still bass-driven grindcore fuckery but there seems to be a technicality to the songs that I have not noticed previously. The sound is still DIY as hell, but the bass-lines are a touch more engaging. The artwork is sexy as usual, and so is the transparent purple disc. You gotta love Horns & Hoofs Records; totally dedicated to the cause!

 

Can't find any links to stream this split, sorry all! To make up for it here is another sexy close up of that glorious trans-purple disc.
