Pacific Northwest’s CAUSTIC WOUND (featuring members of MORTIFERUM, Cerebral Rot, Fetid, and Magrudergrind) play unrelenting and punishing brutal death-grind that captures the aesthetic and palpitations of the classic old-school era of the genre (not exceeding 1992 of course). Their debut album, “Death Posture” (out April 10 on CD/LP/Digital) which follows their 2018 “Grinding Terror” demo, sounds like that foul relic that could have been produced in ‘88-91 while upholding a powerful, dark, murky yet unyielding production, “Death Posture” eschews and lays waste to the nowadays clinical, plastic and ornamental trappings of the modern-day grind scene. In what will most likely despoil and maraud the majority of death-grind albums being released today, “Death Posture” renders total annihilation upon the feeble mortal coil.
