Midnight Configuration – Funeral Nation (1997)

July 12, 2024

Gooooooooood fuuuuuuckkkiiing griiiieeeeef this has to be one of, if not the worst thing, that I have heard all year. It’s mere existence beggars belief. Imagine Mortiis’ Smell Of Rain, but strip out most of the guitars, make the songs repetitive and annoying (inb4 “its danceable!”) and give THE WORST POSSIBLE vocal performance you can imagine over the top of it. Honestly, I’m not sure what the vibe here is, but Jesus fucking Christ those semi-pitchshifted vocals are some of the worst atrocities that I have ever heard, and I’ve been listening to goregrind music for twenty years.

Honestly, I’m super fucking intrigued. It’s like watching a bus full of people crash in slow motion. It’s absolutely horrifying, but I cannot look away.
