Post Mortem - Seasoned NoSalt Makes My Beef Stew Taste Like My Beef Stew



Post Mortem is another Seth Putnam band* from back in the day before Anal Cunt gained any particularly large international recognition. Although Seth is only on side A, he put this out on his own label; Wicked Sick Records (RIP). His vocals here show a whole different side to the guy so deeply associated with his usual shitty AxCx gargles and screams. Post Mortem themselves seem a bit lost musically, there is a whole lot of shit going on here although the main vein is slow heavy sludge mixed with more trad-doom stylings.

 

The vocals are straining and harsh as per always but they are so so so good. If you think that Morbid Florist is the best Anal Cunt stuff then you will definatley love this. That is the most similar AxCx vocal style to this. Side B is a lot faster and with a different vocalist (the guitarist of the band), whilst he's not quite Seth Putnam he's still pretty awesome. Definatly a collector's item, but if you want to hear a side to Seth other than Anal Cunt, this is always an interesting listen.


*This is not strictly true. Post Mortem have a long and varied history without Seth. It's just that for me (and probably a lot of other ignorant noise/grind fans lol) this was just another 7" on the huge list of bands that Seth has participated in.

Anal Cunt / Meat Shits - Split 7"


This is "Another" split EP between early Anal Cunt and the slightly infamous Meat Shits. The version I have was put out in black wax on Seth Putnam's own label, Wicked Sick Records, back in 1991. As with the 88 Song EP, Fudgeworthy Records have re-released this rare AxCx 7" in 1996 on blue and clear pressings.

Musically, it's a typical old school noisecore Anal Cunt up against the horrible noisecore/goregrind crossover mess that is Meat Shits. Crazy to see how many members Meat Shits had on this recording, considering it's basic horrible noise. Robert Deathrage has to be equally the queerest / most awesome front-man name in metal, ever.

The original pressings of this on Seth's label are quite rare, nothing super inaccessible but copies are averaging £20 or higher on Discogs at the moment. I would go as far as say this is definitely a completist's item as far as Anal Cunt's musical input is concerned.
