Gorerotted: Mutilated In Minutes - 2000


I'd love to put up a cover for this album, but even in a spoiler I imagine that it'd violate the rules of this site. Besides, I'm not sure whether looking it up on a library computer might get me registered as a sex offender, but I'm not willing to find out. Even looking up the Youtube videos I had to do some quick scrolling down. I like to live dangerously.


I'm usually not the biggest grindcore fan, and goregrind is usually even worse. Just noise, and goregrind is for the most part incompetent noise. I love Gorerotted though. It's not because they somehow elevate grind or do anything new or anything. Quite the opposite in fact. They're about as original as any one of hundreds of other bands of their ilk. So they ain't exactly a revelation or anything, but they're about as accessible and fun a grindcore band as you're ever going to come across. That's the thing about Gorerotted that I dig, they're a goregrind band, but they're just as committed to having a good time in the worst possible taste as they are to brutality. The healthy dose of legitimate death metal also helps. Saying they sound like a grind version of early Cannibal Corpse wouldn't be entirely unfair actually.

They're also another band who's song titles tells you exactly what they're about. Any goregrind band worth their salt is going to have purposely offensive, puerile, and disgusting song titles, but Gorerotted give their's a little twist by using amusing rhymes or alliteration: "Bed 'Em Behead 'Em", "Put Your Bits In a Concrete Mix", and "Severed, Sawn and Sold as Porn" are all deserving of some kind of award for inspired idiocy (I totally stole that joke from Metal Hammer, but **** them).
