I Shit On Your Face / Vulnus – Split CD (2006)

May 13, 2022

Vulnus play intense, well-produced death metal. Despite this, there is a quality remaining of the feel of an underground demo, but the band’s overall tightness and professional sound does wonders for their crisp, precise carnage. As I listened to the split for ISOYF, discovering Vulnus was a pleasant surprise.

ISOYF have thusfar failed to ever disappoint me. One could say that the band are not very adventurous with their sound, whilst another could then counteract that and say that they are a consistent band. I suppose its kinda like Lymphatic Phlegm. You know what you are gonna get. Its not necessarily gonna sound a bazillion miles away from their previous release, but you know at least that its gonna be fuckin’ great. ISOYF seem to fall into the same category; their intense, dust-bin lid snare and fuzz-pocalypse bass underpin an almost identical production to the previous records I’ve encountered, rendering the guitars almost inaudible in parts. The constant barrage of pig squeal vocals sign, seal and deliver this one across the boundary into the category of ‘tidy feckin’ goregrind, lads’.
