Cephalic Carnage - Conforming To Abnormality (reissue)
This is the second time the out of print debut record from Colorado’s hydro-grinders Cephalic Carnage is re-released, this time with a shitload of bonus tracks. Conforming To Abnormality shows the rough shape of what Cephalic Carnage is today (see them at Neurotic Deathfest this weekend!), an insane grindcore death metal hybrid.
And indeed, the rough shape of this band is what Conforming To Abnormality holds, for when compared to their present playing material this is unquestionably of a lesser quality. Yet it holds their very essence, which is highly experimental grindcore and death metal with The Dillinger Escape Plan like song structures brought in a humoristic style.
The bonus tracks offer quite some entertainment, for they are from their split record with Anal Blast, plus two other tracks. These tracks are really dumb and are probably written and recorded in one day or something. Only the last track of the original record is missing, which is called ’17 Minutes Of Your Time’ and the only thing you’ll hear is a toilet flushing. Instead there’s the track ‘Dave’s Lunch’, which is a guy named Dave puking his lunch out. Good call.
But the last track (which is untitled) is really something, it’s sort of a country song with the chorus being ‘you shit on me, I’ll shit on you’ sang by their old bas player Jawsh (I think). Hilarious stuff. Play this record when you’re in for some good death metal comedy, if you don’t own it already.
