Continuing on, I came upon yet another Splatterhouse split! This one features the legendary Gruesome Stuff Relish on the opposing side... so clearly I could not resist this one. And at just under 20 minutes... hell, I definitely have time for this one!
The Splatterhouse recordings are tighter and more high-fi than the ones on the split with Birdflesh. And although they are produced a bit better (in my opinion) I'd say that the overall vibes are the same. These guys (kinda?) sound like Ghoul. But I dig it!
The Gruesome Stuff Relish is pure classical GSR. Putrid pitched vocals and amazing highs paired with down-tuned guitars and a drummer that just won't quit!
Splatterhouse is a really cool band and I am glad that I found them. But the GSR blows the lid off completely. I may be a bit biased as I have been listening to GSR for years. But I think the intensity speaks for itself.
This is another dive into the realms of grind history. Released in 2003... but still holds up today. Just fucking listen to it, yo! –Devin Joseph Meaney
