And although labelled, obviously, as a Pornogrind band, the music itself has little to do with the sleazy, distinct groovy aspect of other acts from the genre such as Gut, Rompeprop, Cock and Ball Torture etc. I am not very fond of Pornogrind and might be accused of ignorance, but I don't think Creamface sounds like most bands I've heard from the genre. The general sound of Creamface seems to me close to traditiona Grindcore classics such as Terrorizer and Repulsion, or even Carcass, than other bands from Pornogrind.
The thing is, what was the influence for Creamface? What was the inspiration? Was there any specific band which influenced it aesthetically and conceptually?
Now it might be difficult to see the lineage, but back in 1999, there hardly was "porn grind" in same way as was few years later. Of course there was Gut, Meat Shits, but usually all had wide variety of gore, violence, and other types of stuff. "Porn" was most often also more as element of humor or overall exploitation.
Creamface was influenced by Blood, Agathocles, early Napalm Death, a bit of Carcass, a lot of all sorts of small grindcore bands of late 80's early 90's. I did not consider band part of goregrind not part of the CBT, Gut and such, but it really was more like band I mentioned before, but simply writing about things that was interesting and things that was part of life in general. I was quite annoyed to read interviews of "porn grind bands" who mentioned they were not really into XXX films etc, just did something sleazy and funny. That felt similar to vegan hc made by meat eaters or anarcho punk played by capitalists. In short: posers. So in many ways, I didn't (and still don't) relate to all sort "sick grind", rather the grindcore where guys who do it, sing about things they are personally genuinely interested in. Most of CF stuff included cover photos made, in DIY spirit, taking part in type of stuff what bands deals with.
CF is not over yet. Been 5 years since previous album, but probably next year something happening again.
Talking about grindcore in general, listening to bands, but having hard time finding NEW good grindcore. Any time recommendation comes, it is kind of... "quite good", but have to put it in quotation, since it usually has the speed, it has the skill to play, but lacks rough nasty sound, memorable songs and some sort of identity. You can return any day, any time to Scum, From Enslavement.., Impulse To Destroy, If this is gore..., and so on and on.
