Necro Cunting Sludgecore - 85%

Fungicide, May 1st, 2003

Imagine brit-sludge pioneers Iron Monkey being drenched in beery vomit and thrown into a cock fighting ring with a wounded banshee.
This release comes out of Necrodeath studios (the best up and coming underground metal outfit in the UK) and like Necrodeath releases before it it is fucking brutal. The emphasis here is not on pummelling drum work or tortured vocals (although there is plenty of that) but on heavy fucking riffing. The riffing is so fucking heavy it sounds like the band are using three bases instead of guitars. These songs gallop and crawl at disparate tempos, but they all have the same goal in mind, and that is to induce you to prolapse though their abusive heaviness.
Having said that, there's allot of groove in places on this album and there are some temporary breaks from absolute aural assault. Even so, this one's not for the feint hearted, and it might be an idea to avoid this unless (like me) you're a bit of a musical masochist.
