Welcome to quite possibly the most perfect goregrind sound. Last Days of Humanity are probably better known for their later, 9000bpm efforts, but Hymns of Indigestible Suppuration is more my bag of disfigured body parts. The whole thing starts off with a frankly odd sample, before kicking into some of the best down-tuned slop I've ever had the displeasure of hearing. Could that artwork be summed up in a more perfect sound? I doubt it.
The guitars are a thick wall of mushy goodness; the bass and 6-stringer mingling together are seemingly inseparable On top of that under-layer of filth are the drums; crisp, clear and clean - the ultimate opposite to the muddy thickness of the string section. The snare is one of the best sounds ever put to tape. It is bouncy, bright and brilliantly mixed in with the terminal goo oozing from the amps. The vocals...well, I don't really know what to say here! Jesus!
There are still copies of this in circulation for a fairly acceptable price, although I am not sure if it is out of print or not. Out on Bones Brigade Records.
