Slimewave #6 – Mumakil / Inhume – Split 7″ (2008)

Slimewave #6 – Mumakil / Inhume – Split 7″ (2008)

August 16, 2011

Slimewave Series #6 featuring Mumakil & Inhume. Part 6 of 6 in Relapse’s infamous gore grind compilation series. This is number 778 out of a 1000 pressed, and out of 300 on yellow. There are an extra 300 on green, 300 more on green/red splatter and 100 on clear, as per always with Relapse. I must have been living under a rock in the gore grind scene when Relapse started putting out the Slimewave 7″s,…

Slimewave #5 – XXX Maniak / Throatplunger – Split 7″ (2008)

Slimewave Series #5 featuring XXX Maniak & Throatplunger, limited to 1000 records on Relapse Records. 100 pressed on clear, 400 pressed on yellow/green and 500 pressed on red/yellow. I have number 420. This was the first Slimewave 7″ I got my hands on and it’s one of my favourite releases by both bands involved. XXX Maniak’s new cleaner sound was a teaser for what was to come on their split with Coffins, and Throatplunger are…

JxKx on the other hand, have a really meaty sound that belongs more in metal that it does in grind, but that…

V/A – Shred Yr Face 2 – Split 7″ (2009)

V/A – Shred Yr Face 2 – Split 7″ (2009)

Shred Yr Face is a 3-way split 7″ featuring The Bronx, Fucked Up & Rolo Tomassi. It was released on a pressing of 1000 red by Wichita Recordings, Matador Records, Hassle Records & the somewhat elusive Coalition Records in 2009. It was sold on the tour featuring all three of the bands on the record. I picked this up in Spillers Records a while ago, I remember buying it because it was cheap and I’d…

V/A – Obscenity Cult Records – Extreme Audio Gangbang: 01 (2007)

V/A – Obscenity Cult Records – Extreme Audio Gangbang: 01 (2007)

Obscenity Cult Records presents Extreme Audio Gangbang 01 featuring Vaginal Necrosis, Bitchslicer, It Will End In Pure Horror & Wallygrinder. Limited to 500 copies on purple. The colour of the artwork varies from white, purple, orange to several other colours. I got this off Mike from Vaginal Necrosis when he had a few copies to sell off. It’s not bad; a strange mix of gore grind and cyber grind, if there ever was one! The…

7000 Dying Rats – Forced Boat (2002)

7000 Dying Rats – Forced Boat (2002)

August 15, 2011

7000 Dying Rats “Forced Boat” EP on transparent pink 7″ vinyl, out on Scenester Credentials records in 2002. I bought this from www.relapse.com This 7″ record has quite the story behind it, as the extensive notes provided with it depict. Basically, the label were screwed over by a massive corporate pressing plant, and lost all their money to them. It took nearly 5 years to produce and press this record. It comes with an insert…

2 Minuta Dreka / Necrocannibalistic Vomitorium – Split 7″ (2009)

2 Minuta Dreka / Necrocannibalistic Vomitorium – Split 7″ (2009)

2 Minuta Dreka’s somewhat disappointing split with Necrocannibalistic Vomitorium, on black, again out on Grind Block Records. Number 468 of 500. I got this in Hellfest 2010, on the Bones Brigade stall. 2 Minuta Dreka’s offering is a harsh, distorted live set, including 2 cover songs, and it’s far from being their best recording. Definitely a completist’s item, and I would even maybe consider selling. Oh and what about Necrocannibalistic Vomitorium? Well, the less said…

2 Minuta Dreka / Carcass Grinder – Split 7″ (2007)

2 Minuta Dreka / Carcass Grinder – Split 7″ (2007)

2 Minuta Dreka split with Carcass Grinder 7″ on black, released through 2 Minuta Dreka’s own label Grind Block Records. Pressing of 500, all one colour. This is the first ever 2 Minuta Dreka release I bought (I think, from www.rottenroll.de), and I was drawn in with their bludgeoning groovy gore grind with it’s clammy, rehearsal room feel. Carcass Grinder however have a much more punky sound.

I learned all about the ups and downs of running an indy label whilst working on this 7″ record. It’s a lot harder than you…

27 – A Million Years (2007)

27 – A Million Years (2007)

27’s two song single / e.p. seems a strange choice considering Relapse’s normal release catalog, especially their 7″ range. Relapse Records produced a run of 1000 copies, 100 on clear, 200 on orange/white, 300 on yellow/green, and 500 on blue/grey.
