Mermaid In A Manhole - Spiritual Advice From Mold And Spores (2002)

Mermaid In A Manhole was an American experimental goregrind/noisecore project. Named after the Guinea Pig film of the same name, MIAM was formed sometime around the late 90s/early 2000s by Steve Embryo (ex-Gynophagia, ex-Rapist With No Penis, Sewercunt, Gruesome Toilet, etc). MIAM has quite an extensive discography, most of which is on tape format in very small limitation. Embryo also ran a label called Kinetic Sleaze Productions, which put out quite a few of his own works. Each release sounds completely different, due in part to the fact that Embryo collaborated with a new artist on many different release. Styles range from noise to gorenoise to early 90s noisecore to cyber/electro-gore to name a few. There's a lot of styles/influences that are completely indescribable as well too.

"Spiritual Advice..." is a more cyber/electro-gore sounding release that includes lots of weird and interesting synthesized rhythms at a mid-pace with groovy/chunky guitar riffs. Probably the MIAM release with the most musical qualities. The collaborator on this was release was Kyle Prescott (ex-Dysmenorrheic Hemorrhage) who I believe provided the guitars. This is a rip of the original tape version, which was released in 2002 on Embryo's label, Kinetic Sleaze Productions. There is also 2003 reissue on CDr, which was picked up by Fecal-Matter Discorporated. This rip has the entire release on one track, if you want to devide it up into individual tracks.. the information is here.

Pancreatectomie - Food (2013)

Pancreatectomie is an old-style goregrind band from Columbus, Ohio, USA. Their sound is heavily influenced by d-beat, crust, mincecore and of course, by all the classics of the goregrind genre. Here's their long awaited first full-length simply entitled "Food". 19 tracks of pure disgusting goregrind, 3 of which are covers. I'm actually not sure if the LP is physically released yet, there's like no info about it online. But get in contact with them if you can't settle for a download.

ANOTHER TEXT POST UPDATE

So yeah, obviously I haven't really kept my word about continuing the blog. I apologize folks. I've been spending most of my free time doing things with my own projects (Gofuckyourself, Metastasis and a bunch of new gore/noise/grind stuff in works soon) and also spending a lot time organizing trades and stuff.

I'm not the best multitask-er and like I said previously, doing a blog like this can also be very tedious and time consuming. As much as I would like to get back to doing the blog regularly, I think it might not happen for a little while. I'm possibly going back to school in September also, so that will give me even less time.

Anyway yeah, I thought another update as to why this page just sort of stopped suddenly was due. SOMEDAY I will return to documenting and providing uploads for the wealth of awesome old-school true grind that exists.

Canker - Two Thousand And Shit (2008)

Canker was a two-man pathological goregrind band from Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, Canada. Formed in 2001, Canker was the first grind band to come out of this unsuspecting part of Canada. They were active for just under 10 years, had a fair amount of output and I believe did some shows. Sonically, Canker made crushing old-style noisy goregrind similar to Dead Infection, Last Days of Humanity, Squash Bowels, Pathologist, Regurgitate, etc.

Their material with a drum machine is their weakest material mostly because the programming just sound bad. But their material with real drums fucking kills it and I wish they had put out more with the sound they captured on the real drum recordings. There's some REAL eerie, disgusting and evil sounding tones on the recordings with real drums. The two brother behind the project, Philip (R.I.P.) and James Tarr were also involved in a number of other grind/gore/noise related projects such as Submersed Cadaver, Elephant Man Behind the Sun, Chernobyl Children and probably lots more that I'm unaware of. James also ran an exceptionally cool tape label called Intestine Stew Tapes.

A TEXT POST ABOUT SOME RANDOM SHIT

To anyone who gives a shit about this blog: Sorry I've been neglecting updating it. I've just been lazy as fuck and busy doing stuff with my own grind projects. Running a page like this can also be extremely tedious and time consuming. I'll try to keep it a little more active in the next while but no promises.

Also I've been using my old soulseek account a lot to download shit now. If any of you have soulseek, feel free to add me. My username is: Blackened Thrash Attack. I used to like shitty metal crap so excuse the username hahaha.

Anyway that's all for now I guess. Bye.
