	PUTRESCENCE "Dawn of the Necrofecalizer" Cd
	(No Escape Records - NE 023) Release date: 2006 Running time: 27:32 Review: This is the brand new second cd of Putrescence, which is possibly my fave canadian band! Clearly, the band sounds quite different compared to their debut full length, sound production is alot cleaner and more polished... I always prefer more of a raw edge in my grind but the band manages to keep a visceral type of energy. Style is a mix of "brutal" death metal and grind, keeping a relatively technical edge but never pulling any punches; I'd situate their sound between Hideous Mangleus & Dead Infection. Gutsy roaring growls and maniacal shrieks, low-tuned and intricate riffing, cool distorted bass sound, solid pounding and blasting drumming. Superb death/grind with a great flowing sound. Lyrics are pure comedy, so absurd and random they always get hilarious, clearly poking fun at gory lyrics in a smart-ass Bodies Lay Broken /Birdflesh way though always still remaining entertaining all the way... All in all, a brillant come-back, two thumbs up, absolutely recommended, don't miss this one, steal it if you must and all that stuff... Ok, sorry I gotta keep this review short, I'm on a schedule! So that's all I've got for now...

	PUTRESCENCE "Mangled, hollowed out and vomit filled" Cd
	(No Escape Records) Release date: 2004 Running time: 29:58 Review: This fresh new band is a really pleasant surprise... I didn't even know this band existed last week, but this cd is one the very best thing I've heard this year! The style here is way heavy Gore/grind tinged with an old school death metal kind of feeling of the best effect. Songs are superbly flowing, with some really thick extremely downtuned guitar riffs, swift but hard-striking drumming, deep guttural growling vocals and backing manic shrieks... The band sounds totally ferocious but still retains some nice refined guitar work and skilful drumming... Their sound has a suffocatingly putrid texture to it so Putrescence as a band name is definitely fitting... There's a great deal of grinding drive here too but I won't say this is one hundred percent pure grind, song structures and composition work are relatively elaborate, the band also focuses on some heavier, sludgier parts from time to time... I must say this really made me think of Hemdale right away, and I mean that as a compliment! Putrescence's got the same kind of cool edge Hemdale used to have... It also made me think of a few other bands like Hideous Mangleus, old Sanity's Dawn and Bodies Lay Broken... Definitely up there with these awesome bands anyway... Lyrically this is some very cool, sickening gore with a few original and humorous touches here and there to keep it interesting. I think I've seen the gory front picture being used somewhere else already... Still, this is all quality gore! Simply a killer release! Slick layout as can always be expected from No Escape records... I must say this record company definitely has the best taste in choosing their bands... And yeah, definitely my new personal favorite band from Canada too! Absolute Must-Have!
