GIG REVIEW – Sublime Cadaveric Decomposition (+3) @ Outpost, Liverpool

Y’see, you don’t get much Goregrind happening in North Wales – you simply couldn’t envisage such an event happening at the Cons Club in Denbigh or at The Vaynol in Pentir… So it’s the well trodden path (A55/M53) to our local – Outpost in Liverpool – where you get punk rock and pizza and a sumptuous array of beers.

There’s a good crowd in anticipation of a gory night and they’re not going to feel short changed… In fact, I would have happily paid my £8 just to see the opening ensemble, Putrefaction Of Rotting Corpses – ‘Hi Mum, I’ve started a band.’ ‘Have you dear, that’s nice, what are you called?’ ‘Putrefaction Of Rotting Corpses’ ‘…oh’
They’re from Pontoise in France and it says they’re brutal death grindcore – no fucking kiddin’ – I was transfixed… PORC smashed it, the bassist had more strings than the 4-string guitarist and technically they wiped the floor with you, stormed the crowd and ran off with your eardrums… Loved it…

There’s a blast of Scouse caveman slam next, in the form of Colpocleisis – I can’t even begin to pronounce that, let alone envisage what it means… This more trad grind core and blast beat stuff with that inconceivable pig-fucking guttural vocal. Research unveils some ace lyrics; check out- Third Degree Gums –  ha ha,,, (bandcamp)

Basement Torture Killings (pic & top pic by rich phillips) were the attraction my erstwhile companions had come to see, it’s where the theatre of hate began. This where the cute-killer-singer, Beryl entices you closer, only to rip out your entrails and eat them. There’s blood and guts and overkill, oh, and a cuddly toy ripped to shreds amid a background of noise. The music is tight and fast – the delivery is brutal – literally…

Plotting a death brigade in Moscow I missed French deathgrinders Sublime Cadaveric Decomposition – but eyewitness reports came back positive with a more metal vibe bent on raping angels in hell (lovely)… This wrapped up an autopically blood drenched evening…
