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)

ARCHGOAT!!!

The title, artwork and full tracklisting of ARCHGOAT's forthcoming second album are finally disclosed. Revelling in pure, untrammelled hatred and blasphemy, “The Light-Devouring Darkness” is uncompromising in its devotion to the barbaric traditions of the primitive Black Metal underground.

Tracklisting is as follows:
1. Intro: 3rd Invocation
2. Apotheosis of Lucifer
3. Tribulation of the King of Worms
4. Goat and the Moon
5. Sodomator of the Doomed Venus
6. The Light-Devouring Darkness
7. Blessed in Beast´s Blood
8. Worms born of Martyrdom
9. Fornicated Messiah
10. The Dawn of the Antichrist

The song "Apotheosis of Lucifer" is available on the band's Myspace.
To be released early February via Blasphemous Underground Productions.

Furthermore, as Blasphemous Underground Productions will cease its activities after the release/promotion of “The Light-Devouring Darkness”, an unholy alliance has been forged between Finnish Black Crusaders ARCHGOAT and French label Debemur Morti Productions. The infernal pact will commence after the release of the new album via Blasphemous Underground Productions.
