Namek / Pussyvibes – Split 7″ (2010)
Solid, chunky goregrind from two excellent bands in the Portugese scene. Namek and Pussyvibes share members if I recall, so it’s really cool that they ended up doing a split together, on Chase (MAC)’s label, of all things. I didn’t know about this split until recently, which sucks because of all who are involved.
Musically, this is excellent. The production is fantastic; out of the gate, Namek’s gut-churning distorted bass really pumps out of the speakers. For both bands the drumming is brilliant, and the overall finished project feels hefty and really hits hard, without coming off as too polished or overdone.
So yeah – if you’re into groovy grind don’t be a fool like me by snoozing on this one.
