Grandma - Obscure Grandma's Necrocadaveric Vomit

Argentinian Death at its Best - 90%

BrownSock, October 3rd, 2006

I found this band while searching for cd's on the net and came across Grandma's EP, Obscure Grandma's Necrocadaveric Vomit. Thinking the band would be as humourous as the name, I bought it. This album is heavy as anything, very brutal, but with a sort of humourous side like id ecpected sort of. Now lets get into the music.

It’s sort of a Death/Grind Mortician style, without the drum machine. The vocals sound very inhuman, almost as if they were vomited during recording. The drum work is very nice, fast too, although the snare does sound a bit on the tin can side, it sort of works for this band, with a higher pitched snare to be heard in amongst the low rumblings of the other instruments. The guitars are very low and heavy sounding, as is the bass, which is sometimes difficult to recognise each of them apart. But then again you can mostly tell them apart in further listens.

There are plenty of samples here as well, making for an interesting listen, and helps break up the different songs, which in this genre, start to sound a bit the same. The samples are kind of a marker, telling you that this is a new song. I find, after listening to their EP a few times I can tell the songs apart, but for someone just hearing it for the first time it could be harder.

There are also two covers to finish of this great cd. The first is a cover of Regurgitate’s, Disgorging Foetus. The second is Mortician's Zombie Apocalypse. Both are covered very well and give a Grandma feeling, as well as capturing what made the originals so great.

All in all, this is a great cd which I suggest to any Mortician or Gore Death/Grind fans
