During the first couple of tracks I thought to myself “good, they’ve left all that techno nonsense behind”. Until Trip off sets off with a one minute long semi-techno intro, and so does the next track… And the next track… Most tracks have that techno-shite as an intro, but thankfully they haven’t mixed it in with the grinding. I’m not too fond of cybergore and stuff like that.
If I ignore the techno bits (well, at least I’d call it techno. I don’t know what the hell it is ‘cause I hate electronic music), which actually at times sounds a bit like Prodigy, Ahumado Granujo serve up some wicked gored grindcore. It feels a bit like Regurgitate, mixing the older and raw goregrind they used to create, with the Deviant era cleaner grindcore. And at times there’s also a sort of crusty vibe to the tunes, and a Cock and Ball Torture-esque groove. And these lads use quite a lot of effects for the vocals, well at least I’m pretty damn sure it’s effects ‘cause no human could make those sounds without a little assistance. But this groovy, gored, sometimes crusty grindcore is presented in a fairly hefty production, with a sound that lets the strings churn and the drums hammer.
It really is one killer album, if I just try to ignore the digital shit that mess up the otherwise fine-arse mangle. So if acts like Dead Infection, Regurgitate, Cock and Ball Torture and Last Days of Humanity is your thing I really advise you to pick up a copy of Chemical holocaust. Oh, and I definitely enjoyed the Disrupt cover towards the end – killer! It’s really too bad Ahumado Granujo’s not around anymore…
