Chimaeric Orgy (Review: Repulsive Deeds of Sodomy, 4 Way Split 2011)

At what point does one make the dividing line behind enjoying the freedoms afforded by musical licence to having a general concern for anothers mental health, for most it’s the very fact we listen to our choice of brain cell destroying music is enough for our unitiated peers to question our mental stability, but for us privileged few there are moments we have to pause and think “Is this guy genuinely deranged? Or merely playing along with the theme befitting the music?”, a question I have been unable to answer myself upon receivership of the Greek merchants of perversion 4 way split “ Repulsive Deeds of Sodomy

The First Plane of the Inferno – Incineration

First beast on the tour of hell is brutal death metal act Incinerator, from the get go of their horror flick sample using brutality you can already tell they clearly are a band spawned from the hotter parts of hell, who either brought a demonically possessed drummer along with them or on occasion employ a drum machine, because I am sure no healthy person can pound out some of their more vehement moments. Vocals are a continuous howl of incomprehensible barbarity, with downtuned strings often tailing behind in a general pattern, but lacking in anything special to sink your teeth in.

The Second Plane of the Inferno – Kreas

Next up is death metal by way of thrash metal detour band Kreas, who evidently forgot to normalise the volume between their samples and their tracks, but are far more memorable for their humorous impish squeals that seem to crop up against the traditional cookie monster vocals, followed by the duo of normalised vocals versus death metal standard that synchronise. Drums and Guitar are much more conservative and don’t really imbue the sense of extremity, instead giving a catchy albeit common place thrash drive to their work.

The Third Plane of the Inferno – Necrogasm

Reminiscent of modern day Dying Fetus, chock full of clocking riffs and well placed drum slams, who thankfully don’t rape the tech end of things instead sticking to more comfortable more enjoyable tempo shifts and pronounced progression. Possible cannibals, but these carnally obsessed lads certainly know what they are doing, and have really carved out a nice blend of revolting death metal.

The Fourth Plane of the Inferno – The Anal Treatment XXX-Perience

A vulgar and repugnant name befitting a truly foul play style adopted by these Gore/Porn grind sickos. There is permanent real squalid congested sound to their guitars which I must commend doesn’t give an air of superficiality, but feels quite organic. Vocals are often a whispered scream of perversion that internally echoes at the higher end of the hearing spectrum, as if a little demon in your head was poisoning your mind with its foul Ed Gein like ambitions. I must confess that these fiends have been quite creative and successful in their pursuit of musical perversion, drums at times are neglected on the volume spectrum, but the overall formula works; with brutality and innovation meeting eye to eye before exchanging with one another their swarms of diseases and ill thoughts in an orgy of sadomasochism.
