Agoraphobic Nosebleed | Frozen Corpse Stuffed With Dope

Computer-guided terror. Hyperactive industrial grindcore. Politically incorrect machine-gun fire. Or maybe some of the sickest shit that was ever put on CD.
CD, Relapse/Suburban

Computer-guided terror. Hyperactive industrial grindcore. Politically incorrect machine-gun fire. Or maybe some of the sickest shit that was ever put on CD. Just a few descriptions matching Agoraphobic Nosebleed's newborn creation Frozen Corpse Stuffed With Dope. Hang on to your shorts for this one!

In less than 34 minutes, AN fire away a grand total of 38 songs. Needless to say, what speed Frozen Corpse Stuffed With Dope comes along! In fact, you can't even pinpoint the beginning of a new song without looking at your CD player's display. The songs bare witness to a love for the older Napalm Death stuff and Nuclear Assault. Hell, there's even a Hang The Pope cover, featuring Dan Lilker on bass and vocals, on this album. At the same time, contemporary elements, such as samples and a drum computer, are being used to fuck shit up big-time, at speeds well over 250 bpm. Personally, I see the use of a drum computer as a weakness. It takes the soul out of the music; plus I would have loved to hear a real drummer pull this off. Could that be done? I guess we'll never know. Luckily, the vocals (which aren't sounding as-gory-as-possible, for a change) compensate considerably for the electronics.

The weak-hearted should stay away from AN — as far as possible. If the extreme sounds don't do the trick, the lyrics might just stop a pacemaker or two. I quote: "Real men don't just blow heads on Jane Doe / They grind them in." And, "You let me hit you, so I won't touch the children." How 'bout: "Science, like government and God, is not big on being queer." These lyrics are a fine match with AN's uncompromising digital grindcore experience. It's good to know there are still people out there pushing boundaries.
