NOESCAPE REC. :
E.D.B.P./THANATOLOGIST SPLIT CD
E.D.B.P. are a totally devastating noisegrind whirlwind that is unbelievably heavy, ridiculously fast and still keeps a sense of cohesion and musicality as these Italians plow though 14 detonations along the lines of Gore Beyond Necropsy, Fear Of God, Napalm Death, I.R.F. and Arsedestroyer with a definite vibe of Nuclear Death's twisted and abstract grinding death! Awesome! Thanatologist are sick as fuck Carcass worshipping patho-gore grinders from Italy, members of which went on to form E.D.B.P. These tracks were intended for a 7" in '96 which never came out until this killer split CD! For fans of Carcass, Pathologist, The County Medical Examiners, Dead Infection, Lymphatic Phlegm and early General Surgery! Get it!!

Review: This could be my new favorite italian band. The material here actually dates back to 2004. This cd opens with a moody, harsh industrial/noise intro. Although as soon as the first actual song kicks in, you can clearly hear this band is the definition of pure grindcore, according to me, at least. The band flirts with noisecore but songs feel really carefully crafted and put together; Sound-wise, they really nailed the cavernous sound that's especially dear to Gore Beyond Necropsy, something totally brute and harsh-sounding but still with a great deal of warmth and downtuned heaviness to it. Early Napalm Death style is also clearly infused through the raw guitar riffing and squealing solos as well as the beautiful crushing, drum blasts! A couple of vocal styles are used, mostly low, roaring gutturals as well as piercing shrieks at the other of the spectrum, mostly with a gritty, totally distorted and saturated quality to it all... Fear of God might be another point of reference, especially regarding the primitive vocals that sometimes get very loud in the mix... This is just simply awesome grindcore with a great noisecore feel. This split cd comes in one of the most beautiful digipack layout I've ever seen. Stylish art and presentation, and a booklet filled with pretty cryptic and obscure lyrics...
Thanatologist Review: Unreleased 1996 material from this long split-up band is completing this cd. Thanatologist shares the same vocalist as Entropic Degrade... And if Entropic Degrade represents the Napalm Death side of grind, Thanatologist is unambiguously the Carcass one... This is one of the most faithful Carcass emulations, with The County Medical Examiners perhaps... It has alot of the urgency of the early Carcass recordings, with a further cold and clinical execution actually fits this particular style perfectly. Vocal work is superb with all the vicious snarls, growls and putrid pitch-shifted eructations that make "Reek of Putrefaction" and "Symphonies of Sickness" so exciting. Of course more of the early flesh-ripping Carcass essence can be felt here through the dark, morbid and grinding riffs, eerie guitar leads, clever composition work and raging drumming. The cover is obviously a throwback to Reek of Putrefaction too, and the collage of dead babies and foetuses is actually also a perfect match to the similarly themed E.D.B.P. cover art. A terrific release and masterpiece in every aspect, highly recommended!
SOMEONE AFTER A SHOW:Italové ENTROPIC DEGRADE BEHIND PHYLOGENY zacali elektronickým psycho intrem, po kterém spustili nárezový old school grind s rádne brutálním vokálem, hnaný kupredu svižným bicmanem. Nic lepšího jsme si prát nemohli, konec jak má být. Utichl rev a bes, zustává zápach alkoholu a chlív v areálu, skupinky halasících a zlitých metel jedou ve festivalové hospode dál, až do rána. Ten pocit šílenství však zustává navždy nezapomenut.
SOMEOTHER:Skutocne poslednou skupinou sa stali ENTROPIC DEGRADE BEHIND PHYLOGENY. Evolucne zmyselný názov mi nedovolil zaspat kým to neuvidím. Pódium ovládlo chladné modré svetlo podfarbené industriálnou elektronikou. Do celej atmosféry sa postupne vkradla zbustrovaná gitara a podivne hovorené slová so zjavným odkazom, ktorý mi nezadržatelne unikal. Po intre na nás spustili brutálnu grindovú záplavu, ktorá ako sa spustila, už nepoznala zábran a valcovala okolie až do samotného konca.

ENTROPIC DEGRADE BEHIND PHYLOGENY : encore l'occasion de claquer des coupons
OBSCENE EXTREME FEST PRESENTATION:hyper-blasting Italian grindcore formed on the ashes of one of the few gore-grind acts Italy ever had in the '90s: THANATOLOGIST. ENTROPIC DEGRADE BEHIND PHYLOGENY's attempt is to mix early grindcore rawness (above all the first 2 Napalm Death albums) with some even more cacophonic influences (ARSEDESTROYER, GORE BEYOND NECROPSY). They can be easily rated as Italy's most uncontaminated and radical old school grindcore with zero slowdowns or tempo changes, just straightforward blasting from start to end!
VERSIONE CECA:
Italský hyper blast grindcore band byl založen jako prirozený pokracovatel jedné z prvních Italských gore-grind kapel THANATOLOGIST. ENTROPIC DEGRADE BEHIND PHYLOGENY naprosto brutálne mixují drsný grindcore (první dve alba Napalm Death) s radou kakofonických vlivu (ARSEDESTROYER, GORE BEYOND NECROPSY). Jedna z opravdu radikálních old school grindcore kapel kde budete marne hledat zmeny tempa ci nejaké zpomalení, mužete cekat jen a pouze masivní drcení od zacátku do konce!!!
