Whereas Cannibal Corpse first arrived to add the extra degree of putridity
to the ranks of Death Metal music, Disgorge takes to a completely other
level of subhuman disgust. To try to wholly examine what makes up
"Forensick" and its' originators is to not only overuse words straight
from the Black Bible, but
there'd have to be great deal of making up as we go along. Suffice it
to say, the name and the title couldn't be a more perfect fit for what's
pouring out of this festering wound disguised as... pure apocalyptic
noise.
The Mexican trio known as Disgorge either set out to be the
sickest, most vile band in the world, or something's gone seriously wrong
with their upbringing! "Forensick" features fifteen total tracks of
skull-crushing terror, differing from early Cannibal Corpse, (note
Corpsegrinder appears somewhere on the disc -- somewhere around three
grunts to the left of "Scid" I believe.) a logical and obvious
comparison here, in that the recording's much tighter, up close and
asphyxiating where as the latter had a much fuller degree of depth to
their audio annihilation, lent of course to more players.
While I'd
rather walk through a minefield even on my most rational day than try to
interpret the meaning behind the songs let alone try to rewrite the song
titles here, I'll say that there's little variation from one to the
next -- in most cases blinding in speed, sometimes a slow direful
death-grind for changes sake I suppose, but otherwise imagine flying in
a twin-engine jet, making your final descent at which point both wings
suddenly break off and you're spiraling downward heading toward certain
death. well, the torture and torment you're going to feel in your
remaining moments is reproduced faithfully here in this sonic blood
feast known as "Forensick."
For those of the scavenger variety, if the
opening round isn't enough to leave you bloodied and senseless, there
are five extra bonus cuts, live and previously done 7" stuff that'll
make you wanna crawl back inside the womb and give it another couple
weeks before reattempting to gather what's left of your suddenly periled
existence!
