With the demo "Miserável," the Hutt drew attention of many people and it turned out great promise as the new Brazilian grindcore. After the demo came the wretched full-length "Sessão Descarrego" it went further, showing a mature band at the level of some of the greatest exponents of the style around the world. Showing that are still active and more brutal, the Hutt launches its newest album "Monstruário" are 23 tracks with a cohesive sound, rapid and violent, supported by a record high level. The Brazilian reply to bands like Nasum, Pig Destroyer and Lock Up!

Cult demo "Vyznani Smrti" has hard to believe 25 years now!!! This is anniversary gig that has balls with lots of bonus tracks!!! 24 SONGS. This is a live performance of their legendary Demo originally recorded in 1988! Hailing from Czech Republic, this insane horde of thrashers has been delivering fast and aggressive Metal since the early days this kind of stuff started to surface in the ex Czechoslovakian scene. Their style is a raw and solid mix of the best elements of German thrash icons around those years, think of DESTRUCTION, early KREATOR, DARKNESS and SODOM! Intense riffing, fast drumming and insane evil vocals. Great quality sound and nice packaging... Classic 80s Death/Thrash!

Metal Archives:
Macabra are unlike other modern death metal bands for two reasons: one, both members reside in different places of the world, forming an international death metal collaboration; and two, they are completely old-school, and in opposition to the sudden onset of Swedeath-worshipping trendy bands flourishing and appealing greatly to the crowds, they don’t sound at all like that. These features allow them both to surpass most death metal that is currently being released and bring to mind a fantastic old-school death metal influence from when the genre was at its finest.
Practically a second after the album commences its journey full of old-school material, you are met with the relieving wave of a very raw production. This tips the odds in their favor greatly, and contrary to what many may now be thinking, the guitars are perfectly audible. The rough, gritty sound only adds to their music and allows them to widen the listener’s appeal to the already innate stellar riffing. Where the album definitely succeeds the most is in the guitars, and these consequentially succeeding in their sheer simplicity and overall catchy and appealing quality. There is an overt old-school death metal influence sprinkled--no, flung in, circa early Death and, even more present, early Autopsy. They have a brand of very simple yet effective riffing that will definitely remind the listener of these bands among many, many others that focused on a slightly more sloppy and raw style of death metal. The tempos are always kept at a steady, relatively slow, mid-paced speed, the riffs chugging along and the drums following behind somewhat hastily.
The riffs are usually very sludgy, droney, and often also doomy, all of which are characteristics that will, as previously stated, remind listeners of early Autopsy. Songs like “Hominal Peel Diggers (The Swarm of Necrobies)” and “Life is the Symptom (Thy Entrails Rot)” show this in their intros; the former soon lapsing into a very catchy death/thrash riff. The vocals alternate between both low growls and high gutturals. Typically use of low growls is more prominent, but the latter will sneak in on occasion. The drumming is similar to the guitars, i.e. also slow and humble; however, more intermittently, a blast beat will present itself (as will some decent double-bass work), such as at 1:16 in “Hominal Peel Diggers.” Alongside the drums in this particular part, the riff is that of a tremolo-picked one, also an uplifting quality on this album; yet these being less predominant throughout the length of the album. There is practically no use of melodies, which is definitely a good thing in this case. There is some use of eerie passages, yet not that much, and they are not the main focus nor the best trait of this record.
If you’re looking for some new old-school death metal (pardon the oxymoron), you need look no further than Macabra. With “Blood-Nurtured Nature,” they’ve successfully established themselves as one of the better death metal bands that are currently releasing new material. This album prevails from the fact that their music is so raw, so dirty, so undeniably old-school and incredibly simple yet magnificent that the listener will be greatly pleased and satisfied until the last song finally subsides; unfortunately ending the album and leaving one with a craving for more.

Mark Riddick is also very well known as death metal illustrator, but his band Fetid Zombie is also great putrid art of Death!!
This is the 3rd full album.
1st and 2nd albums were more like gore/brutal death style, but this new album is pretty different with those previous albums.
I feel more his "roots", like influence from Necrophagia, early Death, Autopsy, etc.
No more full blast beat, No more gore/brutal death style growings, but more thrashy riffs and vocals.
Sometime even very "heavy Metal" guitar works.
Highly recomended for old thrash maniaks who likes those early american deathrash/death metal.
Featuring guest appearances by Don of the Dead(Nunslaughter), Michael Riddick(YAMATU), Funeral Grave(Gravewurm).
Of course artwork by Mark Riddick himself.
With Oversied obi.

MetalCrypt.com:
It had been a couple of years since the last release by Fetid Zombie, the Abort the Messiah EP. With Vomiting in the Baptismal Blood, this one-man outfit hasn't wimped out a bit. Visceral gore-ish Death Metal is the name of the game here with song names that leave no room for interpretation. The music has a more thrashy vibe here and there, with some razor-sharp Thrash-style riffs zipping by the otherwise Death Metalesque onslaught.
I keep coming back to this album because it is surprisingly catchy and several songs have been stuck in my head since the first time I heard them – this doesn't mean it's suddenly pretty music, but the way sole member Mark Riddick has arranged things this time around, be it vocals or music, it just sticks in your head. The vocals are a mix of sick growls and harsh but kind of clean and intelligible vocals that nonetheless unequivocally convey the spite. When the music doesn't sound like a bulldozer on a path of destruction, a sick disturbing atmosphere carries a similar effect. It's been a while since I gave Fetid Zombie's earlier material an attentive listen, but this is probably the best yet. Good stuff.

Review from Tokafi.com
The German Label Ecocentric Records are presenting a split-CD composed of 17 tracks by two German underground bands here . If you are fond of Grind-Death Metal you will be more than pleased to discover both bands.
The first seven tracks are alloted to Atka, playing 100% Grind metal with some exciting Mid-Tempo sections. Shimetsu, meanwhile, are offering classic Old school death metal with Grind death elements over a full 10 Tracks. Both bands are capable of unleashing some truly devastating riffs, with Shimetsu's even more overwhelmingly powerful.
It always nice to discover a great Grind-Death Metal band – even better if you can discover two at the same time. If you want to find more, take a look at the Ecocentric Records´ catalogue.

German d-beat crust! Their brand new second full length! Side project of MINDFLAIR members!

Total drone. This disc is a collection of four unique improvisations, all recorded in one evening by Germany’s B*SON. The first improv is along the lines of SUNN; a hypnotic, heavy, distorted sludge fest. The second is full of overlapping loops & delays, which builds louder & denser at a snail’s pace, eventually incorporating percussive string jabs. The third incorporates feedback, leading into a low end distorted hum, accented by cleanly plucked notes over the din. The fourth and final track is closer to a full bore noise track than a drone, with thumping heartbeat percussion, and ghostly whisps of feedback and vocals. I didn’t realize this label was still around (Matthias has got to be going on over 20 years by now). High quality cover with copper ink & cool graphics; classy & a wee bit arty, not unlike a Southern Lord release. Handnumbered edition of 600 copies. 67 minutes worth of high quality sounds to zone-out to.

Ten sludge filled tales of urban decay, domestic despair, and misery delivered courtesy of this Los Angeles, CA based troupe. Terminally deviant tirades, fuzz enshrouded riffs, and bleary narco-rhythms conspire to lay waste to your eardrums (and frontal lobe). For fans of anything and everything heavy (and cough syrup).

Highy Anticipatied new ablum of Brutal Slamming Death Metal band from Italy! The Heavy as F*ck 2nd Full Length CD For fans of Inhuman Dissiliency, Cephalitripsy, Devourment, etc.. Sick cover art done by Matthias Auer (stench of dismemberment, Bodysnatch, etc..) Don't miss out!!! GET THIS NOW!!!

Good old fashioned grindcore from Italy for fans of NAPALM DEATH, TERRORIZER.

Chronicles of CHaos:
With a name like Diorrhea, the band probably gets a lot of shit (that was unintentional) from punters; but I have to say I believe that it is a very befitting title to have, seeing as the music they churn out is reasonably revolting, happens to comes upon you extremely fast, and before you know it you've crapped your pants. I guess the only difference between the two is that Diorrhea (the band) is enjoyable.
It seems to me that Italy, over the last couple of years, has really started to redeem itself by churning out some decent metal. Although some of these bands have turned to the more mainstream avenues, where everything is clean and respectable, others, like Diorrhea, have been shunned into the sewers to keep the rat population under control, mainly by use of their music. The best way to describe this unholy racket is to imagine you were to play this album, _B-XVI_, to a bunch of unsuspecting pedestrians. At the end of this ordeal, the ones that were still alive would probably file charges against you for (ear) rape.
Fast, abusive and completely in Italian (not that it is that comprehensible most of the time), these guys also have a humorous vibe throughout every song, as though Municipal Waste decided to play grindcore instead of thrash. With title names like "Automassacro" and "Necrostupro", you can tell that these aren't exactly the most stable of people themselves -- and those were just the titles that I had some idea of what they were about. I nearly went to a professional translator to get them translated, but lost the bottle to do so when I realised they may think I was completely messed up in the head. Apart from a strange name, freakish and cheesy horror-flick-esque song titles, the band integrated various sound sequences from orgies / killings (I seriously couldn't tell which one it was), an Italian rap section during the last song "Birra", and what I can only guess was a couple of lines from an Italian soap opera.
So if you're a fan of good-ole-grindcore, horny gorilla grunts, rabies infected yelps, and imitations of ambulance sirens, then you are obviously deeply disturbed and this band would provide a great soundtrack to your lunatic lifestyle.

Split CD by Death Metal/Grindcore "blackcore" bands from the UK AFTER THE LAST SKY and INERT, both with lead vocalist Benjamin Hoare (Earache Records).

Classic live material from '91. A must have for every crust punk!
