Exit wounds - 17 wounds of Exit - MLRG

MLRG presents Here's a short blast of strident, skin-excoriating Grindcore/Powerviolence to shear your head off with. Although there are only about ten minutes of playing time on this extra-mini album, the band try packin' it solid with every traditional Grind trait that you've come to expect from such an act; rapid, unadorned blastin', filthy, crust-caked riffage, constant high-speed, laryngeal-muscle rupturement and scruffy production makes this a winning Grind pick-me-up! With their EP, the band disfigured me with a faceful of jarring Grind, clean threshing off the front of my head by means of forceful, obliterative guitarwork, potent blast and total vokill hysteria. The band intersperse each bout of cranial scuffment with momentary breakdowns or quick ‘n' fuzzy rhythm section solos/intros, which afforded me a few seconds to re-affix my lips to my jaw afore the feature-removal resumed. In each (de)tune, the band takes a handful o' extremely simple common-time Grind rhythms, then throttles every last fetid gasp from them at blisterin' speed, throwin' in a ever so slightly slower section every so often before piling back into excessive tempos with blastin' abandon. Of course, 17 Wounds of Exit recalls a fair few past and present Grindcore acts. In fact, some of it sounds similar to the Hutt stuff on the Crushing the Grindcore Trademark split release, at times even matching the intensity of the brain-demolishing En Sorglig Historia by Splitter. On the whole though, I personally find that Exit Wounds have a style comparable to that of such wholesome Grindcore/ Powerviolence as old Nasum, Disfear and Benumb, but adding to it the unstoppable rampancy of Dahmer, the sheer excess of Yacopsae and, although it may not have occurred to me without their cover of "Bleeding Peptic Ulcer", the full-on crushery of old RGTE. I daresay that the time taken with recording, mixing and mastering techniques during the production of this EP only marginally exceeded the playing time of the disc itself, given that the overall sound is scratchy, tatty and abrasive. Rough as it is, each instrument manages to slice through the grubby fluff, and the coarse sound does of course complete the raucous delivery. Given the tiny playin' time of this lil' beauty, I think Exit Wound could've easily increased the overall cuteness of 17 Wounds of Exit by pressin' it onto a 3” CD, like the Exhumed/Ingrowing split that came out around this time last year. Of which most of you will already be aware, Exit Wounds are due to perform in Trutnov at the joyous Death/Grind gala, Obscene Extreme in around ten days from now, so we can all expect to be pickin' up pieces of our skulls shortly after these guys have wandered onstage ‘n' plugged in.
