Xysma – Swarming Of The Maggots (1989)

February 12, 2024

Imagine that some maniax poured all of the members of Carcass and Agathocles into that giant blender from that halloween episode of The Simpsons where the teachers are eating all of the children at the local school. The contents are then slurried down to what is basically a thick pulp. The pulp is magnetised, pumped out into wafer thin stripes and air-dried for maximum retention of gooey goodness. The thin strips are then wound around coils and placed inside plastic housing for safe-keeping. Insane cannibalistic madmen – if they can resist breaking open the plastic casing and savouring the taste of the contents – can put the plastic cartridge into what is known colloqually as a “tape player” to be submitted to the aural explosion being read directly from the macabre contents. This is what Xysma’s Swarm Of The Maggots sounds like.
