This release is pretty "weird" in my opinion. It sways from slow metal to grind to chill time. It's definitely the strangest release that I've heard from 2022. It has some Mayhem elements to it as well. Especially Mayhem's album 'De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas' (1994). That's what makes it so intricate and appeasing. These guys have been around for a long while, but 38 minutes of different aboriginal feel or vibe to it makes it what stands out. When you think you're being pulled into one extreme to total disheartening atypical dementia. These guys have some death metal mixed with grind action. Though they fluctuate quite a bit! Guitars are fast, mid-paced and overheartenly slow. Their lead guitar work is quite astringent. And the vocals you get; quite a variation like retro Napalm Death 'The Peel Sessions' (1989). This is the volume of grind it reflects.

Guttural vocals mixed with screaming you get all sorts especially like Lee Dorrian (ex-Napalm Death, Cathedral). Those of whom they seem to draw their influence from. This album is only a little more than 38 minutes. However, what you get is 38+ minutes of death/grind. I caught the black metal elements to it. So basically, you have 3 genres of metal all combined.

I have not heard a band so strange yet episodic and manumatic as these guys of Morgue Supplier. They're incorporating many different sounds and vibes until finally the album fades out. The grind pieces are fluctuating and speedingly incorporated.

The guitars are just an different type of mixture between single picked notes to a little bit of everything. The vocals go with the guitars but both they encapsulate gore mixed with screaming anguish. Throughout they seem to go nowhere except on the path of resilience. The vocals shriek highly and the guttural sound doesn't let up. It goes on and on with total morbidity. I enjoyed this album, but I'm thinking that what I enjoyed the most is them going on and on hitting walls with the drum slots and guitars mixed with playing different versions of guttural onslaught. I think the best part of the release is that it doesn't sway too much into oblivion, it is oblivion that slays.

What a great release from these Chicago grinders. They've hit the music scene with a punch. They never let up really and this platter is an example of that. Lets hope that there's a new one in the making which I think they've relayed that to me. Check these guys out, they've advanced into a great band!
