UMUR
"Showered In The Love Of The Abhorer" is an EP release by US, New York based sludge/hardcore act Cattle Press. The EP was released through Devastating Soundworks in 1995. It follows the release of the 1995 "Slaves To The Rhythm Of Dismemberment" demo and since the demo Cattle Press have added a human drummer to their lineup.
Stylistically they have also changed their style a bit towards an aggressive sludgy hardcore style which isn´t far removed from the most savage and angry moments found on some of the early Eyehategod albums minus the stoner metal element. It´s loud, it´s grim, and it´s distorted and noisy. Although Cattle Press predominantly play mid-paced and heavy riffs and rhythms they occasionally speed things up and play much faster.
"Showered In The Love Of The Abhorer" features an unpolished and raw sounding production job, which suits the rawness of the music well, and upon conclusion it´s a good quality release from Cattle Press further enhancing the feeling the preceding demo gave that this is a band who have a lot going for them. A 3 star (60%) rating is warranted.
