Sikfuk / Demented Retarded – Split CD (2013)

May 13, 2022

I loved Sikfuk when I was a teenager. It’s death metal, but silly as fuck and also technical as shit! What a duality! Much in the same vein here does the carnage continue, but with a whole slew of additional sounds added to the one man’s already chock-full barnyard of vocal styles. There are now punk rock / powerviolence shouts and grunts to go alongside the usual gurgles and gargles. There is also a catchiness to proceedings, whereas previous releases see the technicality and brutality dialled all the way up.

Demented Retarded bring a more bludgeoning sound. They are, of course, a part of the Czech goregrind family and immediately possess that same groove as their peers in the same area. I also get Cunt Grinder and Clit Eater vibes from these guys.
