Full Length Review: COMPOST Vegetable Goregrind (Eyes of the Dead Productions) by Devin Joseph Meaney

Band: COMPOST
Place of origin: Rome, Italy
Genre: Goregrind
Full Length (Compilation): Vegetable Goregrind
Label: Eyes of the Dead Productions
Release date: January 21, 2016
Since its inception, goregrind has been nothing but a playground for the vile and the grotesque. In recent years, this fact has changed slightly, as the genre has been diving head first in another direction. Wickedness still exists within goregrind... but there is another route that one could take. Formicidae has ants. Phyllomedusa has frogs. Now I introduce to you ''Vegetable Goregrind,'' the discography release from detritus inspired goregrind band Compost. Hailing from Rome, this band is a delicious little blast of gore-grinding fun and I suggest that anyone into goregrind ''with a twist'' checks out this release. The vocals range from deep pitched gutterals to excessively high shrieks and wailing vocalizations. The guitar work is done well, and the drums ping along in the background bringing the whole thing together nicely. The production quality varies from track to track, but this means very little within the goregrind genre. If Last Days Of Humanity and Mucupurulent had a baby, this band would be the fetus birthed within the compost bin. I mean this in a good way, of course. In ways, this band also reminds me of the bands Gut and Tumour, though the lyrical themes are vastly different. There is not much more to say except that this release is a highly entertaining blast of gore, and it has a certain ''class'' about it that not all gore has. This is a great band. This is not pornogrind... this is Compost! -Devin Joseph Meaney
