Quote from: Crucial BlastWith an album title like Care Home Inferno, you would be a fool to expect anything than the over the top, tongue-in-cheek sonic extremism that this band has detonated on their debut album. A celebration of wonton destruction and unsuppressed violence, this is the first offering from Spastic Burn Victim, a new band that features screamer Zara Skumshot from British gabber / grindcore / noise perverts Skat Injector on vocals and Robert Allin (formerly of Australian sludge / industrial duo Halo) on drums, along with various other noisemakers assisting in these extremist micro-blasts of fucked-up avant garde grindcore.
The band's debut is an almost totally incoherent nightmare of ridiculous grindcore savagery, spread out across the album's forty-seven tracks. Song structures? Forget about 'em. These guys take the most ear-bleeding aspects of deformed power electronics and ultra-chaotic noisegrind and mash 'em together into short, furious blasts of crushing, spazztoid hatred. It's almost more like some brutal Japanese harsh noise act than real grind half the time, these thirty-second eruptions of heavily layered chaos laid out over hyperspeed beats, crushing electronic noise and ultra-distorted synth, all whipped up into a cyclone of total sonic dementia. The album opens with a sputtering electronic rhythm that crashes through bizarre looped noises and squelchy synth slop, then quickly hurtles at supersonic speed into a relentless onslaught of sloppy, insanely noisy grindcore. It sounds like a hundred different effects pedals are all blasting off simultaneously throughout all of this, and the effect is similar to what Sete Star Sept might sound like with an army of malfunctioning Korg synths, broken Atari 2600 consoles and circuit-bent robots all erupting in the background. It's a goddamn mess, but a gloriously psychedelic one. The crushing guitar riffs are buried under a cacophony of noise and distortion, while all sorts of broken piano melodies, ultra-distorted bestial shrieking, garbled tangles of squealing tape noise, sudden blasts of pounding gabber beats, and bleating saxophones are all strewn haphazardly through the songs, and the blasting drums seem to not so much be playing a straight blast-beat, but rather cranking up into an insane, octopoidal free-improv blast session, as if someone hurled Mick Harris and his drum kit down a 55-story elevator shaft and recorded the whole thing. These guys are playing some seriously bizarre, noisy grindcore here, a butchered noise collage of brutal ear-bleeding violence with absurd song titles and imagery like "The Man Who Married His Own Tapeworm", "Mutton Dressed As Wham", "Werewolf Circumcision" and "Touched On A Bus". Noisecore / noisegrind freaks will love this migraine-inducing ear-war that sounds like some fucked fusion of Scum-era Napalm Death Scum and early Boredoms and the mutant noise slop of Crank Sturgeon.
