Cystoblastosis – Post-Mortem Examination of Putrid Corpse (2017)

March 7, 2024

Blasting goregrind with a fat and chunky sound. Really great guitar work and vocals, which are – of course – of the disgusting pitchshifted variety. Reading the song titles makes me feel a little bit ill, if I’m honest, but I don’t really know what I expected there. The one down side is that the blastbeats are a little uninspired, its the same beat mostly every track, slightly off with a… uhhhh how can I explain it best, if a blastbeat is in 16th notes then there’s only a cymbal hit every 8th, which is a bit off-putting. It kinda fits the sloppy nature of the vibe but when you want it to REALLY kick in and blast your fucking head off, it doesn’t, because you’re counting that slower hi-hat or whatever in your head, which really drags the pace down quite a bit. A minor gripe, but one worth noting. Otherwise, good stuff all round!
