This album is bewildering, starting with the cover. Some time ago, I started listening to Cattle Decapitation, but I totally avoided this album. This record has a strange atmosphere and terrible production: the bass is completely overpowered by the drums, which, along with the vocals, are among the few things you can hear. However, the songs are an immense example of technique in Deathgrind. I saw there was already another review of this album, but I don't quite agree with it. Even Cattle themselves admitted they weren't completely satisfied once the recordings were finished. Indeed, it's a bit monotonous and lacks the variety of the subsequent "Humanure" and sometimes tends to repeat itself. However, there are great songs: the opening "Testicular Manslaughter" (one of the few songs that don't deal with animal revenge on humans) is enough, and you'll be trapped in a tornado of distorted sounds and chilling voices. It definitely won't appeal to many of you, though I hope some will like it. Finally, other songs, like the title track, remained in their live shows until a decade ago. Enjoy listening and enjoy life.
Tracklist and Lyrics
05 Chunk Blower (03:05)
In this world of concrete and machines
There are still many things to remind us we're human beings
A gigantic grinder
Fused of steel and turbine
Blades flay muscle from bone
Nobody dies alone
As hundreds wait for death
The sound of engines grinding
Every tissue, organ and lining
Explode in a mulch of compost
Churning corkscrews of pain
Razor-sharp gears and cogs
For the creation of human sausage logs
The splattering of meat on flesh
Enzymes, acids and fats
Trickle down into vats
Nightmarish humanoid mower
Behold, the chunk blower
Your grinded mash
Of arms and legs
Torsos and heads
Now hamburger meat
I've an extreme fetish
For blood and meat
All over me
The body as a canvas
The art of murder
Upon blank skin
Fed into the grater
Exiting in chunks
Spattering the funk
Blended
Pureed
Human chunks
All over me?
Pulverized
Sliced and diced
Carnified
All over me?
Blood and thighs
Brains and eyes
Everything inside
All over me?
Allow me to reiterate your worthlessness
Now reduced to ground beef
10 Everyone Deserves To Die (02:35)
Life has stabbed you in the back Retaliate In violent ecstasy Swift, vengeful hate Their blood shall stain your pores Microscopic ingestion of disease Which you've harbored since birth Unwittingly the suffering Everyday life-a virus Condemn the molesters Of fraudulent morality Everyone deserves to die Deny them life Dead shall be their families Beheaded shall be their loved ones Impotent lies shells of men In our failed attempt at humanity Animal parts still sold to vanity We were destined-it had to be Flashbomb the general public As if roadkill, we crisp and peel and flake away No longer perishable Adoration for man's expiration Pain Disease Ignorance Extinction of man And peace on earth Revenge For our nature of decadence Revenge Decimation and pestilence Extreme holocaust of the peoples The unbiased hand of death Resetting an evolution Reversed big-bang conclusion You are the disease Your existence is cancer Ecological tumor A disgrace to the earth Deserving of pain Deserving of euthanasia 100 billion can't be wrong or so says the golden calf Visualize nonexistence
