NEKRO-TORSONOMICON (A DIRT CULTURE VAULT REVIEW)


NEKRO-TORSO - TORSO GRINDCORE 1991-1993
Hoo boy, is this a fucking riot on what? Take a trip down memory lane from back when tape trading and "well-concealed cash" in envelopes were the only means to really get any iota of underground goodness. Sloppily hand-written letters sent worldwide (sometimes with no reply at all, jerkasses!) and lewd anticipation for the package to arrive got me through much of high school, eagerly awaiting my new tape from some band I MIGHT have one other person to discuss with. Nekro-Torso were part of this circuit, releasing four sloppily recorded demos/rehearsals in two years before disappearing off of the face of the earth. Here you can enjoy 46 songs of total mayhem and ear-scraping chaos with a ton of shoddy artwork, photos, and reproductions of all the band's other silliness in glorious black and white for that extra early-90s charm. Man, don't you just love songs less than 30 seconds that make you want to break bottles and jump around like a maniac? Scream till your vocal chords are permanently damaged! (FA)
