CoC : Disgorge - Forensick : Review

Disgorge - _Forensick_
(Necropolis/Deathvomit, 2001)

Where is this band going musically? Other than the vocals, which I like a great deal -- gutturally lower than Mike Perun from Cianide, I honestly think I hear more rhythm from my neighbor's three year old kids playing cards in the spokes of his tires. Breaking things up a bit and adding some well-supported guitar parts about the two minute forty-five second mark, track three, "Scid", as well as the very next one, "Urethrive Decortico-Xanthomatose Muco Gestated Scaffolds" (3:37 - 4:23), make the songs that much more interesting and engaging. The effect on Antimo's voice on parts of "Jaundice Hookworm" rocket the track to one of the most captivating on _Forensick_. Some live versions and bonus tracks accompany _Forensick_, but other than "Urethrive Decortico-Xanthomatose Muco Gestated Scaffolds", yet again, this time taken from Disgorge's split with Squash Bowels, it all amounts to more of the same. The glorified horrific cover prohibited everywhere but for Abaddon does less than nothing for me. It kinda reminds me of "let's play gross out", where you hock up a glob of mucous on the table and I pull out a straw; immature and infantile. I know bands from Mexico are capable of more than this; Brujeria, anyone?
