Crunchy grind is what comes to mind after listening to this 30 minute monster. I\u2019ll be honest straight up. I\u2019m a fan of selective grind and it so happens I love exactly this kind of grind, so imagine my drooling when I first heard this. Internal Rot embody the purest traits that quality grind contains \u2013 violence and freedom. \u2018Mental Hygiene\u2019 will grab you by the collar and throw you straight into a pit of wild boars. You will be shredded into pieces in the frenzy that \u2018Mental Hygiene\u2019 creates. Musically, it is infused with punk thrash elements and the guitar tone it carries is jagged edged similar to what Insect Warfare, Wormrot, Infanticide and Death Toll 80k employ; and that is saying \u201cit slays\u201d. So fans who have heard these bands before should know what to expect and be ready to lap it up.<\/p>\n
Right from the first track \u2018Muciferous\u2019, the album is a gateway to unbridled anger and consequently, freedom. The 30 odd minutes get over in a blink of an eye. After absolutely four murderous tracks, the band also manages to get some groove in via the aptly named \u2018Sex Everywhere\u2019! It obviously doesn\u2019t make sense to distinguish between songs in a top grindcore album like this, but \u2018Internal Rot\u2019 insert some slight shifts in tempo; alternating between blazingly fast and slightly slower mosh ready parts. Albeit for a few seconds, this keeps the attention of the listener and gives some breathing room like midway through \u2018Nose in Neck\u2019 and \u2018Hodgkinson St.\u2019, in order to get ready for the next round of barrage that inevitably follows. The last and the longest track happens to be titled \u2018Riddled with Rage\u2019 and it pretty much sums up the sentiment of the whole album. There is a certain appeal for grind albums like these, whose expressiveness and production attracts fans from other extreme genres.<\/p>\n
