Dead Infection / Malignant Tumour - Split 7"



This is classic Dead Infection shit right here. I've heard this before on one of the collection / compilation CDs, and I absolutely love the mix of growls and pitchshifters - usually when vocals contrast to shifted stuff it's gonna be yelled, screeched, shouted or screamed, but not here. Growls not brutal enough? Well, top that off with some pitchshifted gurgles! Lo-Fi blasting grinding madness, but with enough finger-wagging classic riffs for the crusties to mosh to. A genre staple!

Malignant Tumour have such a strange back catalogue of stuff; tracing their development as a band is extremely entertaining, although I must confess to enjoying the older incarnation of the band more than the rock'n'roll style stuff (however they are always great fun live). Catching them on this 7" marks their transition from goregrind out into a more politically motivated, almost mincecore approach. There is an Agathocles cover, which says it all, to be honest. This stuff is class, but Dead Infection's material on this takes the win for me.

Some saint amongst men (and women, and everything in between) kindly uploaded the whole thing to YouTube for our listening pleasure.
