Tetrahydrocannibal – Tetrahydrocannibal (2013)

April 22, 2022

This was a project that I put together in late 2013. I’d decided that I wanted to do some gorenoise, but with the genre feeling rather saturated, I initially figured I’d fire up some “pornoise” shtick but eventually settled on using a bong for long, watery vocal effects. In fact, this was a ton easier than using actual pitch-shifted vocals. The bong is run through the same kind of effects that you would use on an actual voice.

Tetrahydrocannibal was supposed to be a one and done, but this EP ended up being downloaded thousands of times from Jay Randall’s Grindcore Karaoke website. In light of this, I went forward with the plan of creating a full-length album, as well as releasing some splits. The splits never came out, but the full-length was released digitally by Legs Akimbo (an honour!) and physically by myself under Pointless Records. Neil from Legs told me that the .torrent of the THC full length (which you can read about here) was downloaded over 10,000 times. That doesn’t mean 10,000 copies were made exactly, in bittorrent language, but I was impressed nonetheless.

Tetrahydrocannibal hit the wall when my other project Gorrendous Whoreplasmia more or less devolved into the same gorenoise nonsense, and the only difference between the two was that THC had bong noises where GxW had my actual voice. I was also heavily running out of steam in regards to the song content for THC. The world is a sick and disgusting place, and inspiration for GxW lasted a little longer, although now both projects are long dead and I sever all ties to them, disown them, in fact. GxW in particular.

Anyway, that’s enough history lesson. Ciao for now.
