CEMETERY PISS   Such The Vultures Love   7" VINYL   (Cricket Cemetery)    5.98



��Been looking forward to hearing this Baltimore-based band for awhile, as I'd heard that their live shows were pretty vicious. In fact, prior to picking up their EP, I had the impression they were going to be another competent black/thrash outfit, but the three songs featured here show something much uglier and much more interesting. Cemetery Piss's debut 7" Such The Vultures Love is a vicious slab of noisy, blackened grind with putrid guttural vocals doused in delay and echoing across the band's tinny, blown-out black blast. The music is relentless and supremely savage, the drumming rigid with it's almost mechanical sounding blastbeats, and they've got an awesome deformed guitar sound that is absolutely drenched in distorted static. There's a diseased, septic feel to all of this stuff, the sound of Darkthrone becoming fused to a barbaric grindcore assault. Guitars spew killer frostbitten riffs and dissonant leads all over the likes of "Corpses And Lye", while the short "Mitternacht" is an eerie, quasi-ambient piece made up of layered guitar squall and disembodied doom-laden guitars tumbling through the abyss, transforming into a all-too-short gust of filthy kosmische sound. And on the second side, "Such The Vultures Love" unleashes a longer blast of droning, drooling black metal with that heavy punk influence, laying on even more of the band's fetid, icy winterbreath across the song's galloping charge. Fantastic. Great Baizley-esque artwork on the sleeve, too.
