Pure gore, violence and blood in less than eight minutes of music, carefully blasted by a new Brazilian duo through their putrid debut EP of Death Metal and Grindcore.
There’s a new dynamic (and vicious) duo hailing form the city of São Paulo, Brazil that not only knows how to apply all aspects of the DIY approach to their music, but they also do it in the goriest and most violent way possible, resulting in an avalanche of demented sounds that will leave completely disoriented after its less than eight minutes are over. I’m talking about the ruthless Death Metal/Grindcore act Goat Necropsy, who are ready to butcher us all with their berserk debut EP entitled Bloody and Fresh. Except for the photo session conducted by Brazilian artist Jessica Mar (Reverbera Music Media), everything else was done by vocalist Vic Ferreira and guitarist and bassist W. Johann (from bands such as Krow, Nervochaos and Victorizer), including all the music and lyrics, the drum programming, the artwork and the overall production, mixing and mastering of the album, and let’s say those two insane metallers nailed it from start to finish, delivering a more-than-fine debut effort that lives up to the traditions of our beloved Goregrind the likes of Carcass, Exhumed, Cattle Decapitation, Napalm Death and Aborted, among several others.
As soon as you hit play and the opening track Chopping Organs begins, you’ll be asking yourself “how can only two guys generate such demolishing and disturbing sonority?” It’s truly pulverizing in its entirety, with Vic sounding infernal with his inhumane roars and gnarls darkly vociferating the song’s visceral words (“Creeping / The butcher arrives / Wretched, mindless / Disturbing death / This grinding machine / Will open your guts / My merciless knife / Reddish shines”), while W. Johann extracts sheer savagery from his riffs. Then continuing their path of devastation and gore, razor-edged riffs and menacing bass lines permeate the air in The Collector, where the gruesome screeches by Vic will disturb your peace of mind in great Goregrind fashion, also sounding very detailed taking into account it’s only two minutes long; and it’s time to go utterly mental to the sound of Anal Vomit, a frantic and demonic display of Death Metal and Grindcore perfect for smashing your skull into the circle pit. Furthermore, Vic and W. Johann once again bring chaos and blood to our ears through their respective screams and riffage, which is also the case in the bestial Devoured by the Hounds, showcasing devilish, psychological lyrics barked by Vic and the awesome Cannibal Corpse-inspired riffs by W. Johann. In addition, we must all admit they did an amazing job with the drum programming throughout the entire EP, sounding very organic and extremely aggressive.
In case you don’t believe when I say Goat Necropsy might be one of the most violent Extreme Metal unities hailing from Brazil, simply dedicate nothing more, nothing less than eight minutes of your spare time to take a full listen at Bloody and Fresh on YouTube or on Spotify, and after being annihilated by such demented duo go check what they’re up to on Facebook and on Instagram, and above all that, purchase your copy of their debut endeavor from their BandCamp page or from Apple Music, showing the world you have what it takes to face sheer gore and dementia in the form of extreme music. Vic and W. Johann surely have a great future ahead of them as Goat Necropsy, proving through their austere compositions that less is always more (brutal, of course).
