ULCERRHOEA/PULMONARY FIBROSIS Split Ep (Tape)
(Putrid Nausea Productions)
Release date: 2001
Ulcerrhoea Review: Ulcerrhoea is tighter than ever on this tape, I think this is the best stuff I've heard from this act, whatever band name their material was released under before, Cadaverous Suppuration or Carnal Shroud... I think they're totally Agathocles-like on this one, a bit mince-core. The sound is incredibly powerful, with a very sharp drum sound, between total grindcore blasts and more crust-grind rythms. Guitar riffs are totally Agathocles, basic and simple. Like the vocals, they have a fantastic raw vibe, with quite low roars, a bunch of gore gore vocal effects and a few insane screaming here and there. It's ultra-powerful intense grindcore, but clearly under control. It's just the kind of stuff that over-excite me, my exact favourite kind of grind. Just think Agathocles on the most kick-ass tracks of "Razor Sharp Daggers" (meaning without the crusty boring stuff in between). It's also funny to see Ulcerrhoea got the Malignant Tumour syndrome... A band with quite a gory name writing about subjects crust bands or Agathocles usually deal with... That's ok with me, that's early Napalm Death & Agathocles that started my passion for noise! I'm not sure I care about lyrics anymore though, gore or social I heard this times and times again... The important thing is that their noise is freaking awesome!
Tracks: 1)Incorporate 2)Media excrement 3)Senseless illusion 4)Apathic 5)The truth in demise 6)Standard emptiness
Pulmonary Fibrosis Review: Terrific GoreGrind from France. They didn't change alot since the demo "Songs of pathological experience" where I first heard from them. I guess I like em alot, even more now with this great Split. Their stuff is very raw and noisy, think Last Days of Humanity and maybe Anal Birth as well. The vocals are especially impressive, the effects they use are totally inhuman and gore: I love it! They play their GoreGrind really chaotic, noisy, raw and grindy. That's just awesome, I'm out of words...

Tracks: 1)Tissues colony (intro) 2)Vaginal suppuration 3)Rancid excrement of purulent rectum 4)Schizophrenia and purulenta 5)Pulmonis infection 6)Disgorgement of griding entrails 7)Purulenta and schizophrenia 8)Fuck off nazi bastards (Malignant Tumour cover)

ULCERRHOEA "Start to infest"
Release date: 2000
Review: Ulcerrhoea, formerly known as CARNAL SHROUD, (Yes I prefer Ulcerrhoea too) is one of Germany's best goregrind acts. On this tape, they have some kind of mincecore sound (Agathocles, Malignant Tumour)... Not for the lyrics, but for the sharp, fast, pounding drums and for the short, tight song structures... Vocals are usual totally degenerated growls and screamy roars, soaking in pool of splattery effects. Compositions are very well thought-out, catchy and the sound is powerful... Everything ends in apotheosis with a Dead Infection "Maggots in your flesh" cover. Goregrinders who miss that tape are fucking losers! Out on the cult (at least for me) little label Putrid Nausea.
Tracks: 1)Start to infest (intro) 2)Corroding withered cadavers 3)Foetal limbs dissemized 4)Exposing purulent entrails 5)Grinding commercial bastards 6)Myofied and bloated 7)Permeated by maggots 8)Embryonal vomit 9)Bring down their throne 10)Fuck off nazi bastards 11)Maggots in your flesh

UNHOLY GRAVE/DESECRATOR "Extreme terrorism"
(Necrophil Productions)

Release date: 1999
Unholy Grave Review: Japanese most intense grindcore band is filling the first side of this split tape with some interesting rehearsal and live recordings... but live or studio, Unholy Grave is always so exciting and insane! With piercing raw guitars, sharp/fast drumming, and most likely, killcraze furious vocals, husky growls and hysterical high pitched screams. A very unique band who always keep its very unique headstrong raw sound up! The sound on rehearsal tracks is slighly better than on the live material, none are as good as on Unholy Grave cds... but it's really enjoyable! Play it fucking loud! Everything is from 97/98...
Tracks: 1)Morbid reality 2)Buried terror 3)Mental disease 4)Inhuman sexual slavery 5)No racial superiority 6)Disgusting mines 7)Confession 8)Your heroes our terrorists 9)Seeds of evil 10)Terrorism sucks - part 2 - 11)Deceived nation 12)C'est du cinéma 13)Another lie 14)Annoying test 15)Threatened culture 16)Kim after Kim
Desecrator Review: Holy shit! I'm so positively impressed, and even blown away by Desecrator new material! It's bestial grind of the dirtiest kind! They got far better than on the first demo! (note that they re-recorded some songs from the first demo too) The main improvement is the great work on drums: very capable and skilful blasts and fast catchy beatings... As well, this is the cool sound production, which is perfect to me, for grindcore music of course... The guitars are not too thrashy and vivid, but more like a low tuned, raw and heavy background sound, very aquedat for hypnotic pounding grindcore style. I'd maybe even come to say it's gore-grind, because songs are only composed of blasting parts, there are only the necessary, exciting grindy parts! Only brutal blasting plans... But they do not use any vocal effects! Just naturally ultraguttural brutal growls (plus some backing screamy vox at times) so some may say it's grind-death... They keep it short and intense, so they're never boring, just always catchy. I'd compare them to a mixture of Dead infection on "A chapter of accidents", Sublime Cadaveric Decomposition at their best and Rotting Flesh(Brazil)... Get the picture? Well, they although have their own Desecrator sound, I can't describe it really, but I'm certain I would recognize them anytime! The imperturbable growling vocals, the guitars cutting through ears and the way drums are blasting out are very personal!
Tracks: 1)Clito buster 2)Multitentacular oppression 3)P.P.E (Spice duster mix) 4)Post-natal degeneration 5)Headless corpse 6)Permanent diarrhoea 7)Post-natal generation 8)Headless corpse 9)Multitencular oppression 10)Permanent diarrhoea 11)Kleeto buster 12)P.P.E 13)The age of apocalypse 14)Scatovarius 15)Without title #1 16)Without title #2
