Ah, Cuntscrape and Death Fucking Cunt have finally done a split. How delightfully predictable.

The live union between these two bands could be described in the same affection of, say, your mate informing you about the cum-stain that has crusted on the front of your black shorts before your mum notices. That kind of comradeship is hard to find. And in this light, both bands have really delivered the juicy goods on this release.

Starting this pisspot is the ’scrape, putting the humour back into grind with 11 tracks of pure steaming goodness. The momentum of their work starts to build around Face Breaks And Sperm Cakes with each song blending seamlessly to the next using very tasteful splices of porn nuggets. But it has its moments that hint on how great they can be, musically, when they put pulling the piss aside for a brief second, like the main chunks on Mayonnasian with its galloping rhythm and bass lines backed with the impeccable drumming from Disco Dan Axis.

The best thing about Death Fucking Cunt is they serve the tech in well-controlled blasts, which not only gives maximum impact, but also lets people devour each progression without getting too lost in it all - a major pitfall of most tech death, that these lads overcome.

The only downfall of this release is that the number of tracks tends to be more top heavy towards Cuntscrape’s side. So, in the words of the mighty ’scrape, this release is nothing short of a ‘gashtronomic’ effort from these brothers-in-arms.

Review by: James Young - Live 4 Metal Webzine

With these band names, the level of maturity on display here is clearly of a schoolboy who has just discovered what sex is - what we have here is 'Gashtronomic Gynecological Grindcore' versus 'Extra Defective Chromozoal Tech Slam'. Ahem. The tracks from these two Australian outfits are vulgar, classless and riddled with stupid puns, but who am I kidding? This is as brilliant as grind gets - pure brutality, with it's tongue firmly planted in (arse) cheek.

Dealing with Cuntscrape firstly, we have a pulverising blend of brutality and parody. When these guys want to grind, they cave your skull in with some outlandish speeds, but there are some wonderful groovy moments, like in 'Mayonnasian' and 'Uncle Nasty Fingers'. We have some black metal tremolo woven into the silly 'Dark Urinal', and even a piss-take of guess-who in 'Finntrollop', which could bizarrely pass as the Finnish folkers themselves. Bizarrely, the production is great - the guitars nasty-sounding, but oddly harmonious at times.

Death Fucking Cunt are far less fun, although song titles such as 'Light Beer = Intense Queer' might make you think again. The difference is, there just isn't enough room for spoof amongst the absolutely brutal death grind. If we can believe that there is a human drummer, which is extremely difficult considering some of the speeds reached here, this could rival The Berzerker in terms of record-breaking blast speeds. In addition to the speed stakes, what we have here is the extra element of crazy technicality, which brings a whole new element of chaos and carnage to this half of the album. It almost gets too much, but there are some nice slamming riffs at certain points to let you recover and get a grasp on reality, before being brought back into migraine-territory.

Grind is clearly a thriving genre to still be producing such excellent bands, and there is always womb for more of these unique noise-mongers. It's all as silly and over-the-top as you can get, but who cares? Don't be a pussy, check it out. www.myspace.com/grindecologyst | www.myspace.com/deathfuckingcunt<
