Sometimes a metal band just doesn’t give a flying fuck and simply wants to crank some seriously evil shit. Take a little of the origins of Venom, the filthy proto-death metal of early Sepultura and Slayer as well as the incessant rage of early Morbid Angel and add a little war metal of Blasphemy and just making some fucking noise. The Lima, Peru based ANAL VOMIT did just that and as the band’s name suggests, this is a no nonsense evil as fuck monster of a metal band that just wants to flip the word a million middle fingers.
The band formed in 1992 but didn’t release this debut album DEMONIAC FLAGELLATIONS until 2004 but successfully and staunchly retained an old school death metal sound that kept some thrash elements such as the rhythmic pummelations as well as the evil grit of black metal. Lyrics are both in English and Spanish. The band conjures up a true blast from the past when Slayer was still considered the most evil band in metal and naked virgins about to be sacrificed by a goat head Satan donned in blood red album cover ink was da bomb!
While i was expected some generic crap with a name like ANAL VOMIT i’m actually pleasantly surprised with this one! The riffs are ferociously angry as they gallop at the speed of light and sound like a blend of grindcore and a more blackened form of early Morbid Angel. Noizer’s vocal style is off the chart evilly demented and comes off as a bestial ravenous garbled subdued scream and the bass and drums are in almost permanent blastbeat mode. There are a few samples for sound effects and squealing guitar solos that definitely reminisce of the early death metal squalor of Morbid Angel but the overall feel is much faster and far more evil than anything from the early 90s. Once in a while Noizer sounds like a mutant castrato!
After twelve years of depravity and record deals gone wrong, the band managed to release a few splits as well as even more lineup changes but once this spawn from the fiery pits of hell finally dropped this bomb on the word in 2004 and has been on a rampage ever since. These guys really made it sound like a depraved drug induced cult that joined the Mayhem fan club and were ready to commit mass murder. This is a brutal death metal experience in a bleak blackened war march to the death. While i can’t say this is ridiculously original, it is a ferociously fun little beast of incessant metal bombast. ANAL VOMIT, who’da thunk it?
