Butcher M.D.: Traces Of Blood Album Review!
Music Review:
Two man goregrind outfit formed by a Russian musician who does all band duties except vocals in which he enlists former the vocalist for Last Days Of Humanity/S.M.E.S, etcetera, Butcher M.D. are a crushing pure goregrind unit which deliver 16 tracks of absolute non-stop grinding carnage at break neck speed. The programmed drums keep click and clacking through those blast beats like nobody’s business, and the fuzzy down tuned guitars create a digital wall of sound like no other. This is the elite of goregrind albums, and the crisp high quality production adds more to the big sound it pulverizes with.
There is a bit of groove thrown in some parts for good measure to mix it up a bit. Butcher M.D. sounds familiar to Finnish goregrind act Jig-Ai on this, especially The Rising Sun Carnage album. The vocals range from those toilet flushing deep gurgles to the higher range pig squeals so common in this genre. Butcher M.D. have mastered the goregrind sound and perfected it.
The cover art is as to be expected, real life death photos and the song titles still makes one scratch their head, saying: “How the fuck did their sick minds come up with that shit!?” and that’s a good thing today with so many bands over the years trying to outdo each other in the gross song title department. We get some creative titles on here like Unexpected School Bus Driver Heart Attack, Pulsating Blackheads About To Burst, Old Hag Coiled On The Truck Wheel, or my favorite Fake Tits Replaced With Two Severed Heads.
Traces of Blood is a solid goregrind project, and has all the right pungent ingredients to slop into the pot and mash up into a mangled mess then pressed into CD form. Fans of goregrind will want to pick this one up. There are traces of blood but no traces of death metal, only pure grind here and its gory.
