Both bands for this month’s reviews are from Ohio. Ever been there? It can be fucking brutal. Fumigated are just your average group of no good illiterate rednecks from the swamps of Lima, Ohio. (and here you thought the cast of Glee were the only notable musicians from that area)
If you like your music crusty, nasty and covered in piss then this is the album for you. Composted is an excellent name for this album as it feels like it is a trashy blend of early grind and death metal, it reminds me of many of the early Earache recordings. Let’s start off with the vocals. I’m not even sure it’s human. My best guess is that it is some sort of pig gargling bleach mixed with broken glass. Seriously, they are fucking sick! This along with blast beats and some early Carcass Reek of Putrefaction sounding riffs give Fumigated a really killer debut album. This band still has plenty of room to grow from here and it will be exciting to see where they take it next.
