SPERMSWAMP (Can): “Bizarre Joy Toys” split Cd with RIGOR MORTIS (Rus) 2005 Not Like Most

|SpermswampI already heard Spermswamp on the nice 3 way split with Radikalis Amputacio and mighty Plasma on Rottenpyosis, and just later I recovered one copy of the funny demo Cdr this guy released on just 50 copies “If Abortion is a Murder, Masturbation is a Genocide” (probably to be repressed one day by Mexican label Sindrome). Well this guy has progressed quite a bit from sliding mixer levers and pushing buttons to assemble some fucking noise. The first demo was a kind of amateurish experiment that featured computer effects of all kind and distorted vocals yelled in a microphone probably stuck right into the mouth. However this time he’s back with some interesting cyber-goregrind with a head and a tail, even though the resemblances with Libido Airbag in the beginning are a bit evident (rave disco distortion and porn samples, you know the formula), somewhere in the middle of the Spermswamp side the disc changes style… well I have to tell something about this turn, something weird happened to me when listening to this split: I put the disc on before going to wash my dishes and suddenly when I was still cleaning the pans, I heard this fucking noise that was totally out of style, and I thought “well this really sounds like damn Anal Birth!). Well, I was right

DEMONICAL (Swe): “Bloodspell Divine” Cd 2007 Dreamtide

DemonicalI admit that war is not my favorite theme in terms of aesthetics and lyrics in Death Metal, but when things are done properly, it works indeed. It’s a bit weird becouse there is no real common theme judging by the song titles, and since there is no lyricsheet here either, I cannot tell if the next release will follow this concept. I got this promo of Dreamtide Music records directly from Martin/Centinex a few weeks ago and I have listened to it quite often since, it’s killer Death Fucking Metal with a LOT of energy and the right sound and real no weak riffs. It is not striclty Swedish Death as in Left Hand Path if you know what I mean, but it succeeeds in sounding advanced without being polished. The distortion is low and powerful with lots of fast and chuggish riffs, choruses and trademark Swedish vocals that sound deep but also distinct. Compared to latest Centinex here we have some way heavier, more coherent and compact Swedish Death. No real weak spots here to exploit, they sound a bit like latest Dismember without the boring melodies, with an added war metal touch a la Exmortem. A full length like this will be very impressive. Dreamtide music website does not seem to exist but it may just be down at the moment. More of this, please.
