Search - Various Artists :: Gummo (1997 Film)

An intriguing collection of twisted tunes can be found on the soundtrack for the film Gummo. In addition to traditionally devilish ditties, there is a diverse assortment of scungy trailer metal, fuzz-filled stoner rock, and experimental noise by bands as varied as Eyehategod, Sleep, and Namanax. The black metal cuts by Absu, Burzum, and Mortician are more dynamic than most, and the wailing weirdness of tracks like Destroy All Monsters' sample-saturated "Mom's and Dad's Pussy" and Mischa Maisky's sparse, creepy "Suite No. 2 for Solo Cello in D Minor-Prelude" prevents the flailing noise from becoming overbearing. --Jon Wiederhorn
