Ladies and gentlemen: Burp Grind! *burp*

I just finished seeing a movie about Jack The Ripper, and all that Whitechapel murder experience gave craving for some good old Grindcore. So I looked under my pile of Cd's and I found this album by Polish Patologicum, the cover art looks medical and gore enough for me, let the butchery start!

With 28 minute these Polish grinders didn't gave me the experience I was looking for... something gruesome, rabid, gory and of course brutal. I was hoping to travel to those old Whitechapel alleys with a bottle of absinthe in my hands and laudanum in my mouth, I was hoping to see Jack The Ripper tearing down apart those entrails, severing those nerves, maiming extremities?

Instead of the desired visual portrait in my mind, I got a bar, filthy and empty, a couple of vagrants barfing in the bar, and one guy burping in the bathroom. Not a pleasant trip if you ask me, I just experienced 28 minutes of a guy eructing in front of a microphone!!

Oh yes, you're going now... "Yeah, Undercraft and his jokes about growling" the thing is, I'm not kidding you! This guy, the singer, actually burps instead of growling! Forget the growls, grunts, shrieks or anything; this simply doesn't have any technique just eructing in front of a microphone.

Ok, let's give them a break, these guys growl sometime, you know your undecipherable Death Metal growl, nothing new. Musically, it has really rapid sections and pounding ones, both intertwine and create nice song structures.

The best thing about the band, and from almost every Gore band, is the intros before the songs, are totally hilarious and to be honest they frighten more than the burping thing. (one excerpt from the "Sixth Sense" is included, you know, the classic "I see dead people"), now Haley Joel Osment can say he appeared in a Grindcore Cd.
Fans of Grind and brutal Death might want to check this album out, it's maybe the first album of a new genre I like to call "burp grind".
