THE REVIEW

Here I am, here I am again; I'm here once more among you. Even more foaming with rage.

I won't bore you with what I've been doing these past months; mostly because I can't remember anything.

The entity Excreted Alive is missing one of its halves; I'm alone this time but I couldn't resist my exile any longer. To tell you about a truly sick album.

The second work by Pungent Stench (who knows which "pungent odor" the Austrians are referring to) is one of the most disgusting and degenerate albums I've ever listened to. A band of degenerates, of mental patients who enjoy (lucky them) talking about sadomasochistic practices, mutilations, serial killings only for the sake of feeding on the victims' internal organs. Tons of putrescence and various excretions, following the horrid path of the English band Carcass. An auditory magma that absorbs the raw and decaying noise of Autopsy, with sudden slowdowns that lead back to Black Sabbath; adding to this chaos, this pitch-black muck, a series of terrifying guitar solos played with Slayer-like vehemence.

A powerful Death Metal capable of resurrecting putrid zombies condemned to eternal darkness; but there's still hidden beauty in the nine tracks emerging from these damp and ghostly infernal abodes. It starts with "Shrunken and Mummified Bitch" and ends with "Splatterday Night Fever"; enjoy some of their videos online. You will find extreme pleasure, as I have for years. A couple more things and then I vanish: first, it's better not to say anything about the album cover's horrific and loving image. And secondly, I think it's fair to highlight how the guys enjoy inserting various samples like hysterical laughter and noises of various secretions that a human organism can emit.... "Sick Bizarre Defaced Creation."

In certain respects, a great classic of the Splatter-Death genre... SPUTTER SUPPER...
