various artists - Chords Of Chaos

One of this week's thrift store finds...a single buck American for this late-90s slice of goregrind on a Brazilian label I'd never heard of. The standout is, of course, Relapse Records stalwarts Exhumed. These San Jose legends were still just in their first decade of existence when they provided seven tracks to this comp; they have a new record that came out a couple weeks back, which, if you're into death metal or goregrind, you probably already have, preferably on the limited-to-100-copies picture disc which looks sick as hell.

Ear Bleeding Disorder were from Colorado and left behind a split 7", along with a handful of comp appearances (including this one) before splitting up. Mortville compiled their discography in 2004, so if you ever wanted to hear a live version of their hit, "$300 And A Hand Job", taken from a second generation VHS tape, well, you can cop it for pretty cheap.

I won't presume to know much more about Spain's Execreted Alive other than what's in the unfolded booklet and what Discogs has to say about them. While they came nowhere near the discography size of, say, Agathocles or Unholy Grave, they managed a fair number of split albums and 7"s throughout the 90s. They had a compilation of their 7"s come out last year on cassette via the UK's prolific Grindfather Productions label.

Last, but not least, come Necrose from Brazil. I recognized the name from a comp of HG Fact they appeared on. This is easily my favorite material, hewing more towards a classic grind sound, a la Napalm Death. Respect to anyone cutting a track called "Football Hysteria Motherfucker". Mortville and Grindfather teamed up back in 2014 to put together a limited-to-100 discography cassette together; it probably wouldn't take a lot of arm twisting for me to drop $6 on a copy from a distro (those still exist, right?).

Look, it was a dollar CD, and "Creepshow" just got added to Shudder, and I've been running a bit low on records to post, so, here you go. This is not for everyone. But if you have a bit of the ol' "sik fuk" in you, you'll probably want to bang your head to this.

Post #400: Double Dagger - Ragged Rubble

It took from May to August 2000 to go from 100 to 200 posts. Then I hit 300 posts two days before Christmas 2000. And now I'm here, anot...
