Yes, we know that this is an extremely NSFW image. However, you can’t talk about goregrind without talking about album art and we’re not going to let this awful/amazing example slide by untouched. In addition to the usual assortment of decapitated heads, zombies and murder-rape fantasies depicted here, there’s a picture of a woman in the corner with a particularly gruesome injury: there’s a fountain of blood pouring out of her right breast. That’s almost too vile and sadistic. At this point, Spain’s Gruesome Stuff Relish is one of those bands that inevitably gets 27th billing at the Maryland Death Fest (though whomever puts together the line-up posters is weird — are they seriously trying to tell us that there are a dozen death or grind bands better than Disfear?), but they also waited 6 years to release their follow-up to 2002’s Teenage Giallo Grind. Points for picking a name that encapsulates what the trio sounds like and not opting for the ol’ goregrind standby of an infectious disease that makes your penis fall off. Also, unlike every grind band that claims to sound like Impetigo, they actually do sound like Impetigo, but with much funnier song titles and the novel twist of incorporating the occasional soundbyte from a 1970s Italian/Spanish horror film (one of the guitarists is named Argento, after all). They’re even coming to the States for an appearance at MDF and a few off-dates next month. Be afraid, be very afraid:
