Holy shit. This is THE most unutterably morbid and HEAVY shit out there. Intensely crushing at a mindfucking slow pace, Corrupted and Noothgrush defy any subgenre classification like doom and transcend heavy music in general. Corrupted I think are in a league of their own and this record provides plenty of evidence why the Japanese band is considered an essential sludge group. Noothgrush from California whom I've also always enjoyed is only a notch down and contribute an excellent couple of dirging tracks on the flipside of this split from 1997. For those unfamiliar, Corrupted's stomach churning growls of political injustice are also surprisingly usually in Spanish despite being a Japanese band. The band also do not allow press photographs. Thankfully the band do on occasion drop in from Japan to the states and play a few shows at venues like Northern California's 924 Gilman St. For truly boundary pushing, jaw dropping slowwwwwww brutality look no further than this split.
