This Toilet Tuesday (3/11/25)
O Hungry Maw ov Bemis, O Crater ov the Defecator, feast upon the gifts ov thy populace. This week we’ve got an unforgivable portmanteau, smelly roses, and obscure Star Wars. Lots of oddities lurk beneath the scum, so be sure to dive deep and let us know what you dredge up from the detritus!
Tentacult – Untamed Revulsion (Transylvanian Recordings) [Death]
As the old adage goes, putridity is in the eyes of the beholder; the lads in Tentacult clearly see a rime of rot coating every inch of the world around them. In the two years since their debut LP, tendrils of melodicism and punk attitude have invaded the band’s DNA, but the stench of death is never far from our nostrils. Between the title track’s frenzied blasting and the skank-inducing “Rays of Sinister Star,” the barriers of genre quickly decay; listeners are left in a strange landscape where rules are as brittle as the shifting ground below them. -Roldy
