Grind, Grinding, Ground.

"with awesome songs like How to survive a Vicious Cock Fight, 8 Dead 9 if You Count the Fetus, Man-dude vs. Dude-brah and of course Good Christians Don't Get Jiggy With it Till' They're Married, its clear this band can write some killer stuff. The only problems with these great songs is that they're way too short. Seemingly short for the sake of being short. Just when you get really into a song its over which takes away from the greatness of the cd, if the songs could just have been a bit longer even by just a minute I think this band would be a force to be reckoned with.
songs like Paraphilia and Pogonotrophy however (both parts and should only be one part anyway) drag this album down. They really don't fit with the rest of the album and feel out of place. not to mention Pogonotrophy is a boring way to end the album. They're the two longest songs on the album but are also the slowest and least interesting in my opinion.
That being said this is overall an awesome release, completely brutal grind. The albums length however might be a factor to some. At just under 19 minutes is it really worth 15 bucks? If I'm paying roughly a dollar a minute for something there had better be a smoking chick on the phone telling me how great I am. However if you care more about quality than quantity this is the cd for you."
Brutal Grind for Brutal Dudes

"This record is definately fresh.
What to say, what to say.
We'll start out with the song titles.
Obviously these guys have a great sense of humor, with titles like "Good Christians Don't Get Jiggy With It Til' After Marraige" and "Baby, You Make Me Wish I Had Three Hands."
The lyrics are another story.
They seem to be very deep, they actually have meaning. Not typical grind lyrics, which is to say they aren't brutally violent.
The music, however, is brutally violent. From the first (well, second) track, the listeners ears are assaulted with deafening riffs, blistering drums, and head shattering vocals. The vocals are really what sticks out on this album. Chris Fox is amazing and can easily switch from high shrieks to low growls. The guitar work is amazing as well, and there is a lot of whammy bar use, giving it a very different feel than typical grind.
This is just a great album, it really captures the live energy they have, which, by the way, is insane. Do not miss your oppurtunity to catch these guys life, they do not dissapoint."
