Bloodclot – Gusher (1992)

March 1, 2023

Punishing old school death metal for the masses! I was lured in by the candid sleeve art and the related name (lol), and I stayed for the brutal assault.

For an early 90s death metal demo tape, this is incredibly well put together, and the production is very clear too. What I love most about Bloodclot’s* songs is the frequent descent into all-out blasting chaos. It reminds me of Harmony Corruption / Utopia Banished era Napalm Death, but without sounding too similar to those sessions at all.

A really cool gem, glad I managed to unearth it.

(Is it Bloodclot or Blood Clot? The demo tape has it as one word)
