HYBRID VISCERY The history of torture, execution and sickness Review

HYBRID VISCERY (Belgium) – The history of torture, execution and sickness
CD 2006 – Burning Dogma Records
35 tracks – 48'14
Rated: 5/10
Another chapter of brutality in the catalog of Burning Dogma Records with this time a lethal dose of grindcore. On this release, you grind freaks can enjoy body bits of HYBRID VISCERY's first « Bloody Face »EP 2001 plus their first album « Army of Pussy Land », the tracks of the split with PSYCHOFAGIST and a bunch of unidentified tracks. No need to say that the grindcore-addict should be more than satisfied.
The stuff displayed here is a massive and furious grindcore assault in the early BRUTAL THRUTH vein musically, but HYBRID VISCERY is more into the porno, gory & splatter matters. The insane and relentless beating can remind the early days of SUBLIME CADAVERIC DECOMPOSITION (they have the same talent for writing lyrics, ah!)
With so much material, it's hard to pinpoint what's good from what's not, sometimes the tracks have just an expeditive effect and you barely can't remind what you were listening to. A lack of catchiness? Probably, but the sound is also to blame. I mean in the grindcore style, you definitely need a big guitar sound acting like a chainsaw, to really chop the listener in pieces. Here some tracks are drowned in the blasting parts and in the incessant screamed and guttural vomits. They also cover VADER's « Carnal », mangled in the grindcore way but a decent cover though. The last tracks offers a better sound and the band introduced some slight brutal death touches more than welcome.
A pity because the guys seem skillful enough to offer more than a vulgar grindcore release.
