Hemdale/Exhumed

Split CD from two lesser-known grind bands in the brutal and antimusical category.

"In the Name of Gore"
Visceral
1996

Production: Reasonably clear while maintaing the tumescent bassiness of all good brutal music.
Review: Two blasting spectacles of low-tech noise brutality wrought from a raw stream of power chords. Hemdale provides murkier creeping grind that saturates with dense simplicity as a form of revenge, and Exhumed is faster grind closer to Repulsion with substantial influences from old Carcass. Neither provide exceptional angles into the genre but both represent it well. Exhumed, in a death metal styling, provides flowing speed riffs over blast beats next to flailing chaotic interrupted drumming, finding aggression in the sweep of its cycle from aberration to denial. Hemdale find a purer voice of grind and bring a churning rhythm of their own with its own savage and obscene moments. If you love grind you will enjoy this; Exhumed for its evolution and Hemdale for its beautiful regression. Contact: Visceral Productions/P.O. Box 1142/Mentor, OH 44061-1142 USA
