Prejudice / Carnal Decay / Infant Bile - "Grotesque First Action"
/ split
Grotesque Productions
Belgium / Switzerland / UK
As you probably have guessed, this is indeed the first foray into split albums of Spanish underground label Grotesque Productions. There are a lot of things to like about this release, but it isn't without its flaws either. Prejudice kick off this disc, providing 3 tracks of highly energetic, defiantly technical death metal in the American vein. Imagine Krisiun's intensity and flawless delivery mixed with Dying Fetus' groove and the drive of a mid-'90s Vader, if this is anywhere near your liking, be sure to give Prejudice a listen. All 3 cuts are of equal quality, although 'Possessed' and 'Terminal' particularly stand out. Swiss death metal formation Carnal Decay presents 3 tracks of "The Bleeding" era Cannibal Corpse inspired death metal. The production values aren't quite up to the benchmark set by Prejudice, but they manage to hold their own. 'My Collection', 'Lust For Gore' and 'Misanthropic Deeds' are well-rounded US death metal tracks, but they fail to really leave an impression. Carnal Decay does the subgenre justice, but nothing more than that. Infant Bile closes this split effort with 5 hilariously long-named tracks of flat and rather underwhelming porn/grind. For some obscure reason, Grotesque Productions have additionally mastered this album - which leaves mixed results in its wake. Prejudice's part of the split sounds murkier and less detailed because of it. Comparing the finished product to the teaser tracks the band made available prior, it's a difference as day and night. Additionally, the track 'Profane' is faultily mentioned as 'Profalic'. That aside, on the sleeve the artwork mentions Necrotorture as third participant on the disc instead of Infant Bile as the tracklist correctly mentions. Besides these flaws, Grotesque Productions have released an admirable first split effort. With some additional fine-tuning this might prove to be a successful formula for future split releases.

Co za debiut! Jestem absolutnie zauroczony tym co zaserwowała ta norweska ekipa i absolutnie nie dziwię się, że Dark Descent nie zwlekała z kontraktem. Dotychczasowe doświadczenie muzyków Sover...
...co do saksofonu to był to przypadek całkowity. Bo idąc coś zjeść do miasta napotkaliśmy kolesia który na ulicy grał na saksofonie. Zagadałem do niego żeby nagrał nam jakieś partie i zgodził się. Oczywiście nie miał pojęcia na co się porwał, do tego komunikacja nie była najlepsza, bo okazał się być obywatelem Ukrainy i język polski nie był dobry albo w ogóle go nie było...
