Holy alliteration Batman! Bodies Lay Broken’s album title is a sheer tongue twister. Seriously, try to say Eximinious Execration of Exiguous Exequies as fast as you can. Can you do it? I sure as hell can’t. How long did it take these Minnesotans to come up with this name?

Anyhow, Bodies Lay Broken is blisteringly brutal, blitzkrieg-style old school goregrind. It’s just non-stop grinding, gurgling vocals and screeches, and machine gun fire blastbeats. And it’s fucking awesome. Yeah, these guys are just treading down the street that Carcass and Co. paved back in the early 90’s and late 80’s, but fuck if it ain’t great. Songs like "Ectopic Dropsy and Debridement" remind you of everything you loved about Carcass, and none of the boring, contrived shit released by the thousands upon thousands of clones they spawned. Honest to God, if the melodic death phase never happened to Carcass, this is exactly the direction I would have wanted them to go in: blisteringly fast, unrelentingly brutal grindcore. Ignore their strange fascination with the Japanese though; yes, I too have no idea what the Asian men are saying in these sound samples (though I suspect the opener to "Importunate Harrying Malactic Clyster" is from a rather famous piano-wire-meets-foot scene from Takashi Miike’s Audition, but fuck I don’t feel like checking it).

There is no reason any self-respecting grindcore or goregrind fan does not have Bodies Lay Broken’s full length. If you value the pummeling traditional of the gore-soaked Carcass, you owe it to yourself to pick up Eximinious Execration of Exiguous Exequies. Now, to go practice those tongue twister skills… Written By: Necro-tron
