HAEMORRHAGE/EMBOLISM/SUFFOCATE/OBLITERATE Split Ep
(
Erebos Productions)
Release date: 2000
Haemorrhage Review: Starts with a killer Carcass "Rotten to the Gore" cover (also available on the "Loathesongs" Mcd), Haemorrhage is the perfect band to cover Carcass, it's a faithful and impeccable interpretation. The 2 remaining tracks are freaking new Haemorrhage material! I think it's awesome, but it's hard for me not to be pleasantly surprised by the band. They didn't lose any of their blood-spattered rage and fury if you wondered, they're still the best grind-gore band around. They handle their stuff better than ever, but still they haven't lost any of the corpse-fucking groove of their early days. If that's a foretaste to the next album, it's gonna KILL. The cover artwork is great and the inside collage is also an homage to Carcass! Wonderful stuff.
Tracks: 1)Pyosified (Rotten to the Gore) 2)Unlock the Morgue 3)Festerfeast
Sounds: "Festerfeast" Mp3
Embolism/Suffocate/Obliterate Review: This side just a compilation of songs from these bands already released Cds. New original songs of only one band would have been better to match with Haemorrhage masterful side. Anyway, I'll review the 3 bands quick, they all have great clear sound, and they're all slovakian... Embolism is neat brutal death. Suffocate is energic thrashing death metal. And Obliterate is into death-grind, not unlike Napalm Death era "Harmony Corruption" (Why couldn't they pick Napalm Death era "From Enslavement to Obliteration" instead?!!). Anyway they're all really awesome brutal death bands. But it's a must-have piece of vinyl for the Haemorrhage above all imho.
Tracks: 1)Embolism "Deadly results" 2)Suffocate "I have no right" 3)Obliterate "Boundless violence"

HAEMORRHAGE/GONKULATOR Split Ep
(Fudgeworthy Records)

Release date: 2001
Haemorrhage Review: 3 songs from "Grume" played in live session, recorded in a studio. The sound is very clear. Those are interesting, tight and kick-ass alternate versions of Haemorrhage classics, but it will mainly be of interest to the most die-hard fans. Again, nice cover artwork by Luisma. And that's about it.
Tracks: 1)Exquisite eschatology 2)Decom-posers 3)Excavating the iliac fossa
Gonkulator Review: So. Here's the band mixing harsh Grind-Noise and Black Metal. They're pretty cool. Really intense and apocalyptic. Sorry I don't have alot more to say.... Just Chaos and Harsh Noise!
Tracks: 1)Tied and flogged 2)Soldiers in Satan's sadistic army

HAEMORRHAGE/INGROWING Split Ep
(Copremesis records/Shindy productions)
Release date: 1999

Haemorrhage Review: The latest Haemorrhage release: 3 new studio tracks: 1 totally unreleased song("Putrefaction...") and 2 re-recorded old ones from Emetic Cult album("Anatomized") and Grume album("Rectovaginal fistula")... Sick grind-gore at it's finest with killer sound production... Another wonderful Haemorrhage piece of vinyl! Gory full colour cover artwork used with permisson of the Goregallery website! (www.goregallery.com): nine-year old girl assaulted by a pittbull: 100% pure shocking bloody sickness... Not recommended to fragile stomachs... The disc itself is really beautiful too: transparent vinyl and a kind of spurting red blood all over it!!!
Tracks:
1)Putrefaction(I still remind) 2)Anatomized 3)Rectovaginal fistula
Ingrowing "Creation of Another Future" Review: The Ingrowing side is great too! It's straightforwardly played czech brutal grind/death, in the same vein of something like Cerebral Turbulency from Czech republic too... Nothing really original, but something really blasting and catchy... gruntroaring vocals, corrosive guitars, tight drums... and a very good sound production. What do you fucking ask more? There's also a cool colour cover(but the drawing is quite ugly!). The tracks on this 7"ep will feature on the upcoming full length Ingrowing album called "Cyberspace" (to be released by Shindy Productions)... Also includes an interesting Anal Cunt "Radio hit" cover version..

Tracks:
1)Sexual inferiority 2)Cyberspace floats through me 3)Radio hit

HAEMORRHAGE/GROINCHURN Split Ep
(Morbid records)
Release date: 1998

Haemorrhage "Surgery for the dead" Review:
The last Haemorrhage ep; prelude to "Anatomical inferno" album. This is typical Haemorrhage sickness: Carcass influenced grind/gore style with lots of rythmic drums, screamy vox & backing harmonized snarls... with joyful energic sickening groove; This ep is highly recommended: quality sound production, splatter comic cover art drawed by talented Luisma.. no lyrics sheet, but a great GENERAL SURGERY cover version of "Slithering maceration of ulcerous facial tissue" to counterbalance... Ultimate in your collection.
Tracks:
1)Enshrouded in putrilage 2)Surgery for the dead 3)Slithering maceration of ulcerous facial tissue(General surgery)
Groinchurn "I don't think so": South african grind... with a bit of death metal, hardcore and noise; extreme vocals, blasting sound... And an insane Bee Gees "Stayin' alive" cover version!!! I like it; you'll like it too.

Tracks:
1)Bow to the gimplord 2)I don't think so 3)Stayin' alive(Bee Gees)
HAEMORRHAGE/DENAK Split Ep
(Upground records)
Release date: 1998

Haemorrhage "The Cadaverous Carnival" Review: 4 tracks in the vein of their previous cd "Grume". With even more gory and groovy sound!!! Always into fast grindcore/death style. Perfect production, artwork and splattering lyrics. This material was previously used for the promo tape 98, now you can listen to it...
Tracks: 1)The sickening aroma of a rectal carcinoma 2)Cirrhoetic liver distillation 3)Worm-infested cavities 4)Zu atrpatu (Kortatu)
Denak Review: Denak's another spanish band, into brutal grindcore/crust, with powerful, extreme vocals and great crusty sound. Lyrics are in spanish... As well, the last track is a fabulous and hateful Impetigo cover version. Gotta hear that!

Tracks:
1)Siempre yo 2)Generacion ?qué? 3)Sin argumentos 4)Siempre agobiado 5)Boneyard(IMPETIGO)

HAEMORRHAGE/CHRIST DENIED Double Split Ep
(Morbid Single Productions - MSP 03)
Release date: 1994

Haemorrhage "Obnoxious" Review: Haemorrhage songs on this ep were also used on the album, "Emetic Cult" in apparent same versions. This is the third release on Morbid Single Production. The vinyl is red. This is empathological grindgore at its best, nothing more to say! It just contains some of the best Haemorrhage tracks like "Anatomized" & "Via anal introspection"... It also seems that the line-up was strangely not including Ana yet...
Tracks: 1)Grotesque embryopathology 2)Fermented post-mortem disgorgement 3)Cadaveric metamorphose 4)Anatomized 5)Via anal introspection  
Christ Denied "Thy Horned God" Reviews: Christ Denied is also a spanish band. With only two members, including Dave Rotten(Avulsed) on vocals. So I think you can guess Christ Denied is a brutal death metal band! Artwork and track titles sound like black metal stuff, but music is very good; some terrific, heavy and totally fucking brutal shit! Drums are programmed, but don't sound electronic, guitars are quite well played, and Dave's vocals are of course extremely deep and guttural! Finally it is very catchy and pleasant! But do not expect something amazingly original; of course. Only one problems: the little message against the use of vocal effects! Which is stupid, and inopportune as they share this split with Haemorrhage, who have bug use of harmonizer! Well, anyway this release worths being checked out; unfortunately it is HARD to find! (Thanks Luisma for sending me this copy!)

Tracks:
1)Daethronation (intro) 2)Hierarchy of hipocrisy 3)Christophobia 4)No salvation 5)Overlord
HAEMORRHAGE/DAMNABLE Split Ep
Release date:
1997
Haemorrhage Review: 3 great grind-gore songs from promo '96 "Scissors, scalpels &..."! Sound is not great, but sickness is still raging! Extreme vocals, grinding drums, ravaging guitars...................
Tracks:
1)Decom-poser 2)Malignant cancroid formation 3)Excavating the iliac fossaty 
Damnable Review: Damnable is a Polish band, playing ultra-brutal death metal with loud and heavy ear blasting sound and mega guttural vocals... in the early Suffocation vein("Effigy of the forgotten") or Deeds of Flesh... 2 Impressive songs of well-played and well-composed intense brutality. Gotta watch out for Damnable!

Tracks: 1)Intro 2)Underworld 3)The myth
