Whilst browsing random blogs I stumbled upon this album and was instantly sold both the name and album title, for I was either in for an awful mess of gore or a group of guys who know how to have a fun time. Hailing from Belarus via Coyote Records, Anal Grind are a three piece pornogrind band chockfulla sex, violence and gore. Now I had never heard of these guys prior to this so I am not sure what their previous material amounts to but Chronic Pornoholic fucking rocks. Combining the bulldozer style slowness of Cock and Ball Torture and Gut with the antics of Pigsty and Gronibard, Anal Grind is born. Now don’t expect any Last Days of Humanity type stuff here, while it is indeed brutal it is not that type of goregrind, again, think funny stuff like Gronibard and Ultra Vomit. Vocally speaking the guy is all over the place, showcasing pitch-shifted vocals, grunts, snorts, death metal growls and an endless supply of brees, in vein of I Shit On Your Face. Throughout the album there are even multi-layering and group vocals on certain tracks, so odds are you will not get bored with the vocals. The guitar and bass work on this are exactly what is expected, the bass is shaky and distorted providing a nice wall of balance in the background and the guitars are both crisp and edgy in their delivery, allowing for the album to be both clean and gritty at different parts. The guitar leads in this are unusually funny, like in Scat Wars where they go against the iconic Star Wars theme filling it with disgusting groove and pace. The drums, while programmed fit the music perfectly and aside from a few hi-hat parts you really can’t tell them from the real thing.
When it comes to style, these guys manage to cram all kinds of heavy metal styles into one album. There are traces of slam, dbeat, grindcore and death metal all through different tracks, leaving you not with 20 tracks of the same sound, but a variety plate of different pieces of our friend extreme metal.
The samples on this, this is afterall a pornogrind album, are hilarious and absolutely revolting. One in particular is on Chronic Perversity where the song starts out with almost turkey-like oral sex sounds, which later feed into the song itself. Aside from ripped off porn samples there are other assorted, mostly hilarious introductions to the songs. Speaking of introductions, the main intro and outro showcase some really fun dubstep skill, for instead of a boring sample or drawn out beginning and end, they instead sample porn clips and random metal components into bass drenched dubstep ensembles, which is unusual and really cool to hear unexpectedly. Overall it is a super fun record, and is not your run of the mill goregrind record, these guys appear to just be having fun and fucking around and in the process have created some truly fun goregrind delicacies.
SHIT RATING: GOOD
