Reviews of "Sacrilegious & Culturally Deficient"

From GRIND TO DEATH ZINE

http://grindtodeath.com/review-standing-on-a-floor-of-bodies-sacrilegious-culturally-deficient-2012

Horror flicks have always been an integral constituent to the grind aesthetic and mindset, but rarely if ever has grind successfully accomplished the inherent objective of the horror genre of inducing a fear that is both terrifying and alluring .

Enter in the Victor Frankenstein of the grind world, a lone deranged eccentric Mike Stitches who whilst under his Mr. Hyde ego;  Standing on A Floor of Bodiesconstructs the most heinous and hair raising pieces of grind.

His latest musical crucifixion titled "Sacrilegious and Culturally Deficient" , not only extends beyond the harrowing level of dread from previous pieces, but like any good trial of torment  shivs in a number of disorientating didn't-see-that-coming jolts into the mix too. Its a brazen yet fruitful thematic, one where no corner of the mind is free from its defiling sprawl. Hammering blast beats, bonesaw riffs and deathly howls are the tools of choice, but are applied with a seducing dynamism, arm in arm painting a crimson adornment to the most terrible deeds capable of man.

Drums provide that heart thumping intensity, often serving as a heart rate guide through this horrific journey, and give that added menace to those stop and stare moments. String work as ever is that unorthodox bass only rumbling, but spirited with a corruptive essence, so dark yet so full of energy that you can literally hear the strings screaming in torment. Vocals are the key though, a variety of styles explored that really bring the point home that this is not just a mono-tonal expression of horror, but an uncondensed representation of the inner workings of one so hell bent in depravity and blood-lust.

The gushing revulsion of this slab of cold hearted musical sacrilege, lends as much merit to the directional refinement of its instrumentation as it does to the interwoven moments of horror; from splatters of Noise that spill over and sink deep into various moments of the release, off beam samples and a sly horror mask refinement provided for equally obsessive production values. The package delivered is tight, bloody yet oh so wonderfully devourable.

Its a wonderful release in the most terrifying of ways, and really puts a favorable spin on the consistently angry projection of grind into one of literal unrelenting terror, an innovation that Standing on A Floor of Bodies has once again shown to have much potential.

From GRIND & PUNISHMENT
http://grindandpunishment.blogspot.com/2012/10/g-review-standing-on-floor-of-bodies.html

Horror film sequels are often terrible and completely unnecessary. There's always the contrivance of trying to explain why the slasher villain/exorcized demon/dissipated ghost/evil corporation actually survived the first film despite being soundly defeated by all appearances. The ham-fisted, cash grab nature of sequels usually means squeezing out everything that made the original serendipitously awesome in name of the most conservative, trite storytelling possible. Mike Stitches of Standing on the Floor of Bodies beat those odds by churning out another grindcore nightmare that's just as awesome, debatably better, than 2010 horrorshow demo Teaching Pigs to Sing. And he did that despite falling into the sequel trap of coming back with a bigger cast, enlisting new vocalist/lyricist Bvnny to back up the beating.
Standing on a Floor of Bodies is built on a foundation of bludgeoning Man is the Bastard bass, choppy programmed drums, keening electronic noise and just a dash of Body Hammer creep-factor, careening between blastbeats and power violence loom the entire time. New body Bvnny helps double up the vocal torment, twinning with Stitches to unleash a grunt 'n' groan counterpoint of pit of hell roars and shrieking, pestilential wailing. The results are 15 minutes of decidedly unwholesome and completely unsettling music that forms a single coherent whole, wrapped up in delightfully sanguinary artwork that looks like it was left over from an old Unsane album. Aside from an off-kilter intermission of half-heard ghost whispers and glimpses of fleeting noise that only ratchets up the  unease, every song on Sacrilegious & Culturally Deficient slams into the next, forcing you into the next uncomfortable moment like that demented carnival ride the Joker set up for Commissioner Gordon in The Killing Joke.
The album ends with almost a minute of placid silence and it's not just an arbitrary addition to stretch the album's runtime. It's a needed respite to regain your psychic bearings after narrowly escaping Standing on a Floor of Bodies' demented blastbeat funhouse. But don't think you've escaped. With an effort this good, you know they're bound to make a sequel.

STANDING ON A FLOOR OF BODIES - Sacrilegious & Culturally Deficient -Onesided 12"
Wer/welche den gnadenlos alles über den Haufen ballernden und nach der Veröffentlichung eines Demos, der "A Carcass Is Only Dead Once"-7", der Split-7" mit KILL THE CLIENT und der Split-CD mit PSYCHOFAGIST einfach mal zu früh von uns gegangenen THOUSANDSWILLDIE nachtrauert (die man schon aufgrund ihres geilen und gleich hinter EYEHATEGOD, DEADBODIESEVERYWHERE und natürlich DISREANTIYOUTHHELLCHRISTBASTARDASSMANX rangierenden Bandnamens gern haben musste!) kann seine/ihre Tränen trocknen und die Rotze hinterschlucken, denn Mike Stitches, ehemaliger Sänger der besagten Rhode Island-Grindmaschine, hat seit geraumer Zeit und mit freundlicher Unterstützung von Bvnny Stitches ein neues Knüppelprojekt am laufen. Dieses hört auf den abermals gar lieblichen Namen STANDING ON A FLOOR OF BODIES und hatte mit "Teaching Pigs To Sing" (2010) und "Hostile Carbon Units" (2012) bereits zwei Demos auf dem Kerbholz, bevor im August diesen Jahres via 7 Degrees Records diese onesided 12" hier erschien. Die ziemlich coole Aufmachung des Gerätes mit der screenprinted B-Seite macht verdammt was her, allerdings ist eine gelungene Optik natürlich nicht alles. Doch keine Angst, auch muckemäßig geht so einiges. Woher der Wind weht, dürfte bei der mucketechnischen Vergangenheit von Mr. Stitches klar sein. Mit dem nicht zu überhörenden Unterschied allerdings, dass STANDING ON A FLOOR OF BODIES ohne jeglichen Gitarreneinsatz zum Tanze aufspielen und dass man unter dem selbst gewählten Banner "sharp-as-fuck apocalyptic horror grind" agiert, welches sich nicht nur bei der Mucke selbst, sondern auch in Sachen Artwork und Lyrics bemerkbar macht. Ansonsten klingen die in bekannter "A Carcass Is Only Dead Once"-Manier quasi nahtlos ineinander übergehenden Songs tatsächlich nicht selten wie von einem fähigen Drum'n'Bass-Klöppelkommando gecoverte THOUSANDSWILLDIE-Geschichten, garniert mit den sicken Brüll/Schrei-Duellen von Mike und Bvnny (wobei noch BENÜMB/AGENDA OF SWINE-Frontröhre Pete Ponitkoff und Feo Beruman von MAN AMONG WOLVES/OLD CROW/ARISE als Gastsänger ihren Senf dazugeben) und aufgepeppt mit gar finstren Filmsamples, richtig kaputten Interludes im Stile diverser PIG DESTROYER-Sachen sowie kranken Soundcollagen bis hart an der Grenze zum Harshnoise. Damit beschwören STANDING ON A FLOOR OF BODIES eine Atmosphäre herauf, die überaus verstörend, creepy und apokalyptisch rüberkommt. Schon deshalb geht die Bezeichnung "sharp-as-fuck apocalyptic horror grind" klar bzw. ist nicht aus der Luft gegriffen. Alles in allem ist das, was auf "Sacrilegious & Culturally Deficient" so abgeht, mehr als beachtlich, irgendwie originell und absolut ancheckungswürdig. Andererseits bin ich allerdings auch immer etwas erleichtert, wenn die 15 Minuten dieser einseitig beackerten 12" rum sind, denn auf die Dauer wird's dann doch ziemlich anstrengend. Leicht verdauliche Kost hört sich jedenfalls anders an. Obwohl ich persönliche THOUSANDSWILLDIE jederzeit den Vorzug gebe, will ich Euch nicht von einer eingehenden Beschäftigung mit diesem Biest hier abhalten. Zart besaitet oder leicht aus der Fassung zu bringen solltet ihr dabei allerdings nicht sein.
