This Toilet Tuesday (10/3/23)
O porcelain perch, cup mine can with thy curvéd countenance. Absolve our blockages, that we might live free of discomfort. This week we’ve got Morrowind doom, 10 tons of nugs, and Pakistani thrash. The sea is deep on this holey day, so make sure to fill your scuba tank with enough farts to last!
Death File Red – Inhumanitarian (Independent) [Death]
As the year progresses, my tastes for high-falutin’ tech (and thinking in general) begin to wane. By the time spooky season rolls around, all I want is some ghoulish imagery and a cratered cranium. Enter Death File Red: you’ve got your Carcass corpse collage, a preview track beginning with gristly dual vocals, and cover art kanji from fellow gorehound Makiko Suda. Inhumanitarian is a Mondo film poster you see with your ears, shortly after a high-speed rail incident makes this physically possible. Goregrind, OSDM, and hardcore coalesce in a riff-fest that requires perhaps one (1) brain wrinkle to enjoy; that’s the kind of low bar I enjoy—a low bar that leaves your grey matter lying on the curb. -Roldy
