CoC : Cephalic Carnage - Exploiting Dysfunction : Review

Cephalic Carnage - _Exploiting Dysfunction_
(Relapse, 2000)
by: Adrian Bromley (8 out of 10)

There is no question in my mind that Colorado act Cephalic Carnage get off big time with their "Rocky Mountain Hydro-Grind", a deafening mix of death metal and grindcore, meshed together by an insane barrage of unavoidable mayhem. This is like director Stanley Kubrick leading the venomous onslaught of Brutal Truth. From the get go, Cephalic Carnage hit us high and low with their music, especially on songs like "Hybrid", "Rehab" and "Cryptosporidium". Just feel the bruises welting all over you. The quintet has managed to escalate the vile insanity that has been etched into the grindcore sound since the beginning, though they have taken it one step higher. Stand back and watch the insanity take over, folks.
