EMBALMING
THEATRE is one of these bands that have been active for
quite some time and have earned wide recognition and respect for
their work. They have several splits with some of the most recognized
bands of the scene (Birdflesh and Agathocles for example), released
consistent full-length albums, and they have participated in many
Goregrind compilations like Obscene Extreme 2004 and The Horror
Hive from Razorback Records; all that lets you know that this
guys have been extremely active and always improving their work,
since it’s not easy for any band in the underground scene
to achieve all this.
Exquisite Cadaveric Hormon Cocktails
contains twenty tracks divided in “Side Needle” and
“Side Glass”, composed of the re-release of their
previous works Hormones From The Dead
MCD and Split Organ (released as a Split
CD with Tortured Incident).
EMBALMING THEATRE’s lyric work is completely
based on some of the most shocking, bizarre and REAL events that
humanity has ever witnessed.
From a gay cannibal who ate his lover, to a kindergarten child
who was dug in the sandbox by their little friends and died suffocated,
Exquisite Cadaveric Hormon Cocktails will
never stop shocking you on their lyrical aspect.
Both sides contain consistent Goregrind brutality with good guitar
riffs, quite decent drums, deep gore vocals and of course really
short tracks of pure gore attack (the seal of the genre) that
also include intros, something that the gore maniacs are really
used to.
The difference between Side Needle and Side Glass is quite notorious
since they are 2 different productions, and they have different
intentions in the music, I’d say the pieces from their split
CD with Tortured Incident carries a better example of what EMBALMING
THEATRE is today since it’s even more brutal than
Side Needle.
This LP reflects a mature band with a clear perspective and ideas
of the music they want to make and the way they want to sound.
Exquisite Cadaveric Hormon Cocktails
is a good option for those who like Goregrind straight, no additives.
Give it a try, you will not regret.
