Sore Throat, Nausea and Headache
[...] On the flip side we can find Embalming Theatre; I don’t think they should need any kind of introduction, since they have been around for years and shared records with a shitload of great bands (Agathocles, Unholy Grave, Birdflesh, Archagathus, Haemorrhage and the list goes on and on). This time they deliver three songs of old school goregrind, filled, as always, with the weirdest gory stories found around the net, adding the good ol’ freaky newspaper vibe that made Embalming Theatre so interesting over the years. Two out of three songs are in the classic ExTx style, so expect a tight and muddy kind of old school goregrind, with some shades of obscure early 90's death metal to shake things up a bit. Simple,pouding and unforgiving blasting drums are the thread on which the Swiss freaks build their music, adding a coagulated whirlwind of filthy guitar riffs and bass tones. Vocals are always (with the only exception being a very short shriek during the second song) stuck to a low growling bark, reminding good old Bill Steer’s grunts in the first Carcass’ records. Carcass is always an influence in this kind of music, but I think Embalming Theatre can be easily compared to Excruciation, A Chapter Of Accidents’ era Dead Infection, Xysma and, imho, in a warmer and more “human” version of Cabal. The last song talks about reggae and even the structure changes matching up the concept. I think this is how reggae sounds like in ExTx’s heads, but this time the joke grows old very fast, making this little effort in humourus coverage of another kind of music nothing more than a little divertissment. These Swiss masters are one of those bands you can always rely on, because their average level of quality is very good. This record makes no exception, even if I think they made better stuff (Hormones From The Dead remains my fave ExTx record, btw) in the past. Good ol’ goregrind for good ol’ goregrind freaks.
