Title:  Gin/Crusher: Hymns of Shit and Glory Artist:  The Bodybag Romance Label:  Crucial Blast Format:  CD Price:  € 13.90   Mp3 samples: none

Title Description:
Fractured and fucked up, freaked-out black/grind/ sludge/mung metal driven by disharmonic riffage and sub-basement toilet bowl vocals. Heavy, bad-azzed metal with blastbeats and the occasional psych influence. The band deliberately combines traditional extreme-metal with seventies rock, Appalachian music, and influences from the new wave of 80's metal, plus a hearty love of Scandanavian death metal and punk, as well as Swan Song-era CARCASS. Swan Song fucking ruled, so eat it. The result is heavy as a dump truck, full of wildly unpredictable shifts in tempo, tone, and texture, a schizophrenic blunt musical trauma. This disc has six studio songs (including a deranged cover of MOUNTAIN's Mississippi Queen), followed by a couple of blown out live tracks and some chaotic demo tracks. Abrupt, churning guitars and intensely overdriven blastbeat drumming along with the aforementioned cover of the MOUNTAIN tune all absurdly downtuned and speeded up into a big atomic blur. The demo tracks are similar to the studio ones, with rougher production values (but still clear and every bit as intense). Early tracks like Workshed Assassination offer a thrashing mix of honking hell-wave guitar, churning beats, and pure attitude problem. Like the CONVERGE template being appropriated by neanderthals.Broken metal....scum doom....trashcan blast metalcore mashup. Comes packaged in a handassembled 5"x8" sleeve with handmade origami-esque inserts that are so intricate they're stupid. Defunct and swept under the rug.
