Lista de Bandas Death Metal The Partisan Turbine Surgical Assault

I recently read a number of interesting articles all about grindcore, and one in particular about goregrind. It appears, at first glance, to be a generally easy genre to dissect (pardon the pun). Hurl lightning pace brutal riffs into clattering drums and a vocal attack that sounds like Cookie Monster with a severe phlegm problem together, enclose within lyrical content of the type that would more suit a pathological report, and wrap up in an album sleeve that portrays some of the most disgusting images you can imagine. I'm not entirely sure how much I enjoy this genre; musically I think the heaviness is fantastic, but the totally indecipherable lyrics and 'pig squeals' are a bit off putting.

But there are albums that may make me change my mind on this. 'Surgical Assault' may be one of them. The album refuses to go completely hell for leather, possessing a more malevolent grinding chug with some extremely heavy breakdowns. It is sludgy, downtuned and filthy, which to be honest is great. The vocal attack mixes the aforementioned pig squealing with brutal growls and the odd manic scream to keep it interesting and varied.

For such a short release, the band also manage to keep it fresh by injecting new elements; 'Vast Illumination' creeps up on you with a protracted opening of bass and drums, an eye of the storm moment before a winding guitar line begins flowing from the speaker. It's a rare glimpse of melody, and bodes well for any future work by this band. 'Defleshed' reminds me of early Dying Fetus, its a pretty powerful track with heavy slam riffing in between the speedier sections. 'Inertia' comes across as Pig Destroyer wrestling with All Shall Perish; the lightning pace crossing with brutal deathcore breakdowns, and the towering closer 'Vaginal Secretion' takes off in similar style before entering a lenghty ambient section, again showing off the many strings to this band's bow.

As grind/goregrind/deathcore albums go, 'Surgical Assault' is pretty damn good. The band have a lot of potential to be able to write excellent material without becoming stale and boring. The mournful lead on 'Vast Illumination' is evidence of that. And maybe you can't understand anything the guy says. But you can imagine it's gotta be pretty brutal to sound like that. Recommended.
