• Back When Benümb Had Hair (Milwaukee Metal Fest ‘99 Video)

  Relapse Records’ grindcore act Benümb were one of the most intense bands around. Kill That Cat has posted one of the band’s early performances taken from the 1999 Milwaukee Metal Fest. It’s a shame that Benumb are split up, I really miss hearing these songs! Benumb were a bay area band that started in 1994 [...]

• Vulgar Pigeons “Summary Execution”

  I was so impressed by the debut of San Francisco’s Vulgar Pigeons that I actually begged for an advance, pre-promo release copy of the band’s Deathvomit debut, Summary Execution. As usual Melanie Erokan-Insco was more than happy to help out, unlike her predecessor, Jon Paris, who would do little more at the label than [...]

• Vulgar Pigeons “Imperialism”

  Swooping in like a grinding…well a pigeon. The intro track is so good with the pigeon sounds and off kilter instruments. It’s somewhat cheesy but fits well with the vibe these lads bring to the table. For the most part I can’t stand intro-instrumental tracks but I’d be a complete liar if [...]

• Vulgar Pigeons “Genetic Predisposition”

  Like many people, prior to their appearance on Requiems Of Revulsion : A Tribute To Carcass, I’d never heard of Man Francisco’s Vulgar Pigeons, however after listening to their rendition of "Corporeal Jigsore Quandary", I was eager to find out more. What I found was their first album, which is actually a compilation of [...]

• Vulgar Pigeons “Burning Episode”

  Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, we have the new Vulgar Pigeons EP, Burning Episode. And I mean an eternity- this EP has been in the works for wait nearly seemed like the amount of time it took for the fucking Egyptians to build the great pyramids. But God damn, it was worth the [...]

• Premonitions Of War & Benümb “Split”

  This is an interesting split, interesting in the fact that I didn’t expect to like it this much. My initial exposure to both Premonitions of War and Benümb were not in the best light, however after listening to this split I have reconsidered my opinions of both acts immensely. Premonitions of War is probably the more [...]

• Benümb “Withering Strands Of Hope”

  A few months ago I was talking to drummer John Gotelli about one of his bands, Deathvomit Records’ Vulgar Pigeons, when he finally forced me to admit, along with my lust for him, that I’d never heard his main group, Benümb. Over the years of horrid release after horrid release by Relapse Records I [...]

• Benümb “By Means Of Upheaval”

  A lot of people, okay, maybe only three really anal retentive goofs from the Relapse board, will ask; "Can you really write an objective review of a band who’s website you’ve created and maintain?" My answer to that is: Pyrexia are gay! Now that we’ve covered that, let’s move on. By Means [...]

• An Interview With John Gotelli

  Teufel: When do you want to begin the mutual felation? John: Whenever you’re hard. Mission accomplished. All aboard the mantrain! Well then take it off! Lets get lubed! Alright, sweetness, bring on the meatness! I’m waiting…. don’t tease. I’ll begin the ass hammering… first off why is Spencer out of the band? Did he go straight? That was one of the [...]
