This is the début album from Australian Grindcore band Internal Rot.
This is short and hyper-aggressive Grind where every track, (bar the last one), is under 2 minutes in length and most are a lot shorter than that.
Noisy, angry, fuzzy and filthy; Internal Rot stink up the place with their destructive Grind.
As the first track, Muciferous, shows though, they also know how to slow it down when warranted and take a heavier, Sludgy route to devastation. Granted, this slower side of the band doesn’t appear much over the 20 tracks but it’s good to see the band are capable of more than just instrument demolition at top speeds.
One of the enjoyable things about this band is that they do get into a nice groove now and again in between bouts of blasting. Now, I love me some blasting grind, but it’s also nice when it’s interspersed with other tempos as otherwise it can risk becoming dull.
Mental Rot have this covered though. This is music for those with short attention spans and even shorter tempers, so dullness is not an issue here.
The proto-Hardcore chugging and brutal Deathcore riffs are condensed into violent blasts of Crusty Grindcore that really hits the spot.
I’ve really enjoyed this album. Grind on.
