REGURGITATE "Deviant" Cd

 

(Relapse Records)
Release date:
2003
Running time: 32:09

Review:
Well, it seems Regurgitate pretty much changed dynamics for this album. Gone are the usually systematic vocal effects in favor of more natural-sounding leading high shriekings, the guitar riffs are still ripping and aggressive but these riffs are not always the plain and basic grind riffs the band used to write, they're now occasionally played with some kind of a more rock-oriented/progressive approach and perhaps not always as heavy and downtuned as before, the drumming is still tight and fast as hell no change there, though maybe it's a little more diverse now, song writing is slightly more complex too, with subtler arrangements... The more refined song structuring is akin to Nasum's last 2 albums, and the overall screamy grind style is also very similar to Retaliation on "The Execution"/"Violence Spreads Its Drape" (strangely the song titles are also pretty close to Retaliation, trading sickening pathological gore subject matter for nihilistic catch-phrases). Now that the vocal effects have been booted off, the band has very little to do with early Carcass anymore really, this record definitely strays away from their old gory days. What remains is still a remarkable, raging, pissed off album, the sound production is perhaps the best, clearest and most powerful treatment Regurgitate has ever benefitted from (A vast improvement over "Carnivorous Erection"). Musically this is excellent, and in terms of grindcore this is still incredibly fast, and the raw ultra-violence behind their songs is still intact but the more metal-oriented feel to it and the toned-down gore touch will probably leave some long-time fans with a half-hearted feeling. Personally, I still think this is an amazing album, I'm sure Ill play tons of times, however, I will also definitely miss the good old basic, grinding and gore-gurgling Regurgitate sound, "Effortless Regurgitation..." & "Concrete Human Torture" are still my favorites.

REGURGITATE "Hatefilled Vengeance" Cd

 

(Relapse Records)
Release date:
2002

Review:
I already reviewed the Lp version of this here so I'll keep this short. This is the same thing re-released on cd by Relapse Records, with a different artwork (which looks great; not as great as the Lp though, in my opinion). Anyway, this is top notch grindcore/gore we have here... The first part are pretty faithful new versions of old Rgte songs, with the new, rawer Rgte sound... Pitch-shifted gurgles, good old grindy and crusty riffs and fast-as-hell drums... The rest is the brand new material, definitely kick-ass stuff in their usual fast and basic grind style, only they apparently dropped the vocal effects in favor of intense high pitched screaming. That's fine with me, the band's always kicking to me... Although I doubt all Rgte fans will be unanimously cheering that decision. Still, Rgte is always bad-ass grindcore to the bones to me! "Hatefilled Vengeance" rules!

Tracks: 1)Confluent Macular Drug Eruption 2)Vulva Fermentation 3)Complete Rectal Prolapse 4)Testicular Trauma 5)Cloudy, greyish vomitus 6)Fleshmangler 7)Bulging Vaginal Septum 8)Bleeding Peptic Ulcer 9)Deranged Menarche injection 10)Drastical Decapitation 11)Emethic Jizz Treatment 12)Destined to burn 13)Hatefilled Vengeance 14)666 Casualties 15)Deathlike Incest 16)Choke That Piggy 17)Devastation and Nuclear Apocalypse 18)Disciples of Obliteration

REGURGITATE "Carnivorous Erection" 

 

(Relapse Records)
Release date: 2000
Total running time: 32:45

Review:
That's it. Regurgitate finally delivered the goods. You knew they reformed, now you can hear it. They signed on Relapse Records so you can find the album everywhere, you have no excuse not to get it. To me, "Carnivorous Erection" is the best freaking gore-grind full-length album since Dead Infection "A Chapter of Accidents". Hopefully, those 3 sick swedes recovered their interest in playing infamous gore-grind... Their new stuff is always very basic, straightforwardly grinding, with a groovy/crusty touch, dreadful guitar riffs, and unbearable gore gurgling vocals. Plus, the sound production is very clear and powerful, recorded by Nasum's guy. They have a new drummer who's as great and tight as the last one and they managed to gather the impressive number of 38 songs on the track list; Sure they're all very short songs, but considering the quality of all the tracks it is quite astonishing. As bonus, you're treated with lyrics of 10 of the 38 songs, and who could have guessed they also had true talents in litterature (just kidding). Well yeah of course, they're always into their gooey porno-gore concept, which reached a paroxysm with the awesome Wes Benscotter cover, that no one can ever forget after seeing it. Really... neat.

Tracks: 1)You're About To Fu*kin' Die 2)Domination Through Mutilation 3)Escort Service Of The Dead 4)Obscene Body Slayings 5)Fecal Freak 6)Humiliated In Your Own Blood 7)Just Another Stillborn 8)Parade Of The Decapitated Midgets 9)Ruptured Remains In A Doggybag 10)Copious Head Carnage 11)Carnivorous Erection 12)Relentless Pursuit Of Rotting Flesh 13)Swallow The Human Filth 14)Dismantle The Afterbirth 15)Choked In Shit 16)Funeral Genocide 17)Rancid Head Of Splatter 18)Rage Against Humanity 19)To Boil A Corpse 20)Bloody Pile Of Human Waste 21)Drenched In Cattleblood 22)Carbonated Death 23)Skull Of Shit and Sludge 24)Desperate Need For Violation 25)37 Stabwounds 26)Vomified (Regurgitated To The Core) 27)Headless She Died 28)Breath Like Rotten Meat 29)I Wanna Kill 30)Claw-Hammer Castration 31)Festering Embryonic Vomit 32)Smeared With Bloodmixed Semen 33)The Pulsating Feast 34)Stinking Genital Warts 35)Pyronecrobestiality 36)Self Disembowelment 37)Savage Gorewhore 38)The Combustion and Consumption Of Pyorrheic Waste

 

   

REGURGITATE "Effortless Regurgitation... The Torture Sessions " 

 

(Relapse Records)
Release date: 1999

Review:
At last Relapse Records re-issued this gem of visceral gore/grind. The booklet is very thin, but the cd contains more than 60 tracks in 55 minutes! Not uninspired crap, But one of the most exciting gore encrusted piece of musick ever recorded. Sound production is just perfect, all the songs are short, the best way not to turn boring, guitar riffs are catchy, heavy with a little crusty touch at times, drums are thick and blasting, and gurgling vocals are distorted and harmonized beyond belief. This odes not only contain the "Effortless regurgitation of bright red blood" album, but also "Concrete human torture' demo, which is in my mind even better than the album! the sound is little weaker, you can't hear the vox very well... but all the songs simply bash my brain at every listening. More bonus can be found, like older tracks from all the session songs for the split 7" with Psychotic Noise (Raw but always grindy, gory and freaky as fuck!). An early Carcass influence, especially through the insane song titles, and musically something more influenced by early Napalm Death. All the tracks are twisted, blast-crazed, groovy, but all the ways definitely gory, putrid and grinding. With a whole new cover art & packaging, a picture from Fulci's horror masterpiece, The Gates of Hell (aka The City of the Living Dead), and a sickening bowel-regurgitation introduction from the same movie too. I even have to skip it, due to the degree of repulsion it provokes to my stomach hehe. This Cd is an absolute MUST-HAVE.

Tracks: 1)Intro; The art of intestinal regurgitation 2)Disgorging foetus 3)Confluent macular drug eruption 4)Bullous impetigo 5)Fleshfeast 6)Anorectal ulceration 7)Vulva fermentation 8)Multicystic kidney 9)Mucupurulent offal grinder 10)Total dismemberment of a female corpse 11)Carnal cacophony 12)Vomit breath 13)Complete rectal prolapse 14)Testicular trauma 15)Genital cancer 16)Malignant tumor 17)Diffuse systemic scerosis 18)Owner of a necrotic intestine 19)Newborn regurgitation 20)Torsion of the testicle 21)Worm eaten rectum 22)Chronic lymphatic leukemie 23)Meatal ulcer 24)Purulent discharge from the urethra 25)Vaginal obstriction 26)Cloudy, grayish vomitus 27)Fleshmangler 28)Splattered brains 29)Bulging vaginal septum 30)Acute urinary infection 31)Severe necroses of the face 32)Bleeding peptic ulcer 33)Face mutilation 34)Extensive ulcerative tumor 35)Tumescent foetal fluids to expurgate 36)Carbonized bowels 37)Effortless regurgitation of bright red blood 38)Basic autopsy procedure 39)Phrenetic chainsaw slaughter of a crippled infant 40)Revel in menstrual excrements 41)Uncontrolled anus violation 42)Drugged, raped and excreted... 43)Self-dismembered foetus 44)Bloodsplattered wideopen abdomen 45)Deranged menarche injection 46)Bludgeoned to death 47)Drastical decapitation of a raped infant 48)Forced abortion through the rectum 49)Maiming the defenceless 50)Bloody ejaculation 51)Coprophagial mutilator 52)A putrid reek of the decomposed embryos 53)Putrefactive bowel consumer 54)Frenzy faecal munching 55)Corpse allergy 56)Sickening thoughts 57)Brainscambler 58)Regurgitated giblets 59)Methylated bile 60)Liquid excrements 61)Carnal cacophony 62)Vomit breath 63)Suicide...

 

   

REGURGITATE "Promo CD 1999" 

 

(Relapse Records)
Release date: 1999

Review: Finally some new material by one of my all-time favourite band!!! This cd is only for promotional use... but let me tell you what you can expect from Regurgitate now they came back on the scene; All in all, this contains 12 tracks for about 15 minutes! Don't worry they didn't change their style! It's always kick-ass basic and straightforward gore-grind, structured with both fast ear drilling grindcore blastbeat parts, and severely catchy crusty breaks! But the best thing with Regurgitate is the sick vox distorted through harmonizer, and brilliantly performed by very talented in gurglin' n' gruntin' nauseating oral massacre, Rikard! This time, the vocals sound more the way they were in RGTE/Vaginal Massaker split EP(last songs on the split CD with DEAD), or to give you another example, like LAST DAYS OF HUMANITY's! Some thing really freaky and gut-wrenching!!! Mieszko from Nasum even bark some backing hateful screamy vocals on a few songs. The sound could have been a little more heavy, but nevermind, this shit is really great! The typical record I can listen to all days without getting bored! OK, this is must for goregrind freaks!

Tracks: 1)The pulsating feast 2)Claw-hammer castration 3)Copious head carnage 4)Carbonized death 5)Skull of shit and sludge 6)Fecal freak 7)Dismantle the afterbirth 8)Carnivorous erection 9)Rancid head of splatter 10)Breath like rotten meat 11)Selfdismembowelment 12)The combustion and comsumption of pyorrheic waste

 

   

REGURGITATE "Effortless Regurgitation of Bright Red Blood" 

 

(Lowland records)
Release date: 1994
Review: Best Regurgitate release and one of the all time best goregrind album ever made! The vocals comes with low pitched and distorted effects, guitars are fucking loud, drums are crushing... It's a total grindcore release!!! There's a swedish death metal touch for the sound, lots of Carcass, General Surgery or early Napalm Death influences; As well, there's a great Agathocles cover ("Splattered brains")... Running time is about 30 minutes but every second is pure fucking cult and intense. With a tight powerful sound. Average running time of tracks is between 30 seconds and 1 minute and a half... Rythms are very fast grindy blastings or fast crusty crushings. A delightful carnage. A masterpiece!
