Bought this tape from Blood Spore when they played an arcade in Salt Lake (they were GREAT!). Saw the name Gutvoid and knew it would be coming home with me. Blood Spore, Gutvoid, Death Metal forever.
Favorite track: Murmurations From Twilight Bodies by Gutvoid.
Olfactory Cordycipitaceae Ingress
What fresh hell shall soon be wrought
Upon redundant reproduction
Of massive migratory minions
Of Mesozoic Terran lands
And by the binding graft
Of my cordicypticeaea
The titans of flesh shall be mine
And cast a shadow over time
Now they slay, siege underway
Claw and tooth eviscerate
See how they flee, fear is the key
To the door of omniscience
Mighty in flesh, but weak in the mind
Lizards will not sustain
An empire of corporeal brilliance
Or escape from life-codling planes
The molting trees of the strangling fruit
Begin to germinate all over the land
All eyes to the altar of domination
Provide me with mastery over the eons
Your failure blinds me
I shall melt this mindless rabble
Down into their useless innards
Protaxitite monoliths
Begin tectonic strife
Through the doors to sunless light
My metamorphic precipice
Erode pathways of all sight
Erode pathways of all sight
Pansomatic atrophy
Decimate humanity
Total exit of animate protoplasm
Roost inside the molten chamber
Return their cataract eyes to me
Begin the rite of stagnancy
Spread and kill
Split between four of the undergrounds grossest bands and four of the undergrounds grossest labels.
BLOOD SPORE continue their ascent as one of the death metal underground’s hottest bands with their opening nine-minute epic “Olfactory Cordycipitaceae Ingress.” Utterly lurking, hulking dread, their aptly titled track here simmers with ungodly tension before building into a slipstreaming vortex. COAGULATE follow with their own nine-minute epic, “Up from the Vats (Coalescence of Metamorphic Human Flesh Within a Gelatinous Fetal Stew).” Likewise aptly titled, if not more so, COAGULATE indeed coagulate with subterranean filth underpinned by a primitive pulse that takes obscene shapes as the track twists its innards. SOUL DEVOURMENT sport a spot-on moniker, and here offer “Veneration of the Ascended.” Their track kicks into a grimy gallop and proceeds to slaughter on command, going from slam to high speed with preternatural ease, opening and also closing with eerie feedback. Climactically concluding the split is GUTVOID who further finesse their spiraling, sorta-cosmic death with haunting leads across “Murmurations from Twilight Bodies,” itself an epic at nearly eight minutes.
Totaling 32 terror-inducing minutes, this four-way split among underground death metal’s most promising new hordes shows exactly where the slime live!

More whip-smart, occasionally sarcastic songwriting from Sarah Mary Chadwick, acid lyrics set to soothing arrangements. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 23, 2023
Haunting electroacoustic music that at times borders on drone, gentle melodies summoning memories of days long past. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 23, 2023
Bright, gorgeous, bashing songs from these Belgian shoegazers that never lose track of melody amidst the waves of distortion. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 23, 2023
