Swiss grinding death meets dutch goregrind on a split ep that is I think
the very last Murder the World release... What's to say about Embalming
Theatre? They're very prolific and I'm starting to get repetitive with
all the reviews I wrote for their stuff. Once again, this is solid work,
not the most original band ever but they certainly get the job done here
with yet another heavy, thick load of roaring and growling and blasting
death/grind... Catchy riffing, tight and fast drumming, raging vocals;
Songs are all short and to the point, the simplest, most basic things
are usually what work the best and this is the case here, plus vinyl gave
them a slightly more abrasive edge that definitely enhances the band's
sound. Musically I'd say this is something between Blood & Hideous
Mangleus...
Intumescence plays their habitual brand of nasty, downtuned goregrind
here, with absurd, splattery vocals pitch-shited to death, abrupt, chaotic
drumming and a slimy, sludgy mass of grinding guitar riffs... This band
plays goregrind in a sloppy way, but it's the good kind of sloppy, I don't
think I ever heard a band capture the feel of Carcass from "Reek
of Putrefaction" so well; this particular ep I think mixes more influences
like Regurgitate (especially the gurgling vocals) and Gore Beyond Necropsy
(for the harsh, noisy side). Oh and the Murder the World logo used on
Intumescence side is something I personally drew!!! So it was nice to
see it turn up here!!! All in all, a pretty terrific ep... Too bad to
see Murder the World calling it quits so soon, their releases kicked a
lot of ass!
