These horror freaks are back with two new murder jams with the like-minded gorehounds in Scotland&#8217;s <strong>Lord Rot<\/strong>\u00a0and we&#8217;re stoked to premiere a track from each band.<\/p>\n<p>VHS start us off with &#8220;August 18th 1973&#8221;, the date that <em>The Texas Chainsaw Massacre<\/em> took place. The track begins with a slowed-down voiceover from the film and lurches into a mid-paced death metal stomp with suitably vomit-y vocals. Sawtastic! Also on the VHS side of the split is &#8220;Leatherface&#8221;, &#8220;Human Head Cheese&#8221;, and &#8220;Chainsaw (a Ramones cover). Gee, I wonder if those guys like <em>The Texas Chainsaw Massacre<\/em>?<\/p>\n<p>Lord Rot leans into a clearly blackened take on death metal with killer guitar solos on &#8220;Flowers of Flesh and Blood&#8221;. The song shudders and screams like the victim in <em>Guinea Pig: Flower of Flesh and Blood<\/em>, a film so nasty that Charlie Sheen was convinced it was a real snuff film. Also on Lord Rot&#8217;s side is &#8220;Flayed Alive&#8221;, a track that fans of <strong>Impetigo<\/strong> are definitely gonna wanna hear.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/playlists\/444091923%3Fsecret_token%3Ds-CRIkd&amp;color=%23ff5500&amp;auto_play=false&amp;hide_related=false&amp;show_comments=true&amp;show_user=true&amp;show_reposts=false&amp;show_teaser=true&amp;visual=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"300\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>You can preorder this extremely limited edition split on tape over at <a href=\"http:\/\/dirtyneedlerecords.bigcartel.com\/product\/lord-rot-vhs-split-cassette-pre-order\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dirty Needle Records<\/a>.
