Squash Bowels - Love Songs
Lifestage Productions
2005
I suppose the social value of a goregrind group called Squash Bowels naturally comes into question. However, this Polish band brings the urgh, and that's all I ask for. I have no idea what the band is growling and gurgling about, as no lyrics come with its most recent full-length, Love Songs, but the bloodsoaked artwork more than tells the story. No detours, no bullshit - just fierce, heavy grind that smoothly shifts through various feels, speeds, and vocal registers. A big plus is the production, which sounds both filthy and steely (transistor amps, perhaps?). This is, quite simply, grindcore done right. 15 songs, half an hour - pick 'em up at Emetic and Willowtip.

IO, I immensely enjoyed this album, as well, as gave it a very favorable review at L4M awhile back. The very beefy production gives the sound tremendous weight.
Wow, someone's actually heard of these guys! That's great. Good to hear someone else recognizes how bad-ass this stuff is.
