DESCRIPTION FROM CRUCIAL BLAST:
    Falling somewhere in the shitpit between early Swans, the ultra-distorted noise rock of Rusted Shut, and the abject depravity of Brainbombs, the second slab of crushing skuzz-punk filth from Rectal Hygienics is one hell of a record, the latest in a string of offensives from this Chicago outfit made up of members of death electronics outfit Zone Tripper and powerviolence group Sea Of Shit. As you'd guess from the name, this is no tea party, but the hideous moniker is nothing compared to the album's violent, sexually-charged subject matter and imagery, which has landed these guys in the middle of a minor online furor after their lyrics were called out in a recent Pitchfork op-ed concerning perceived misogyny in noise rock. While it's obvious that these guys have spent a goodly amount of time melting their brains over repeated listens of Obey and Urge To Kill, this isn't the mindless Brainbombs worship and celebrated violence that some have painted it as. To me, their lyrics read like an uglier riff on the sort of blunt ruminations on power relationships that Swans first explored through early albums like Cop and Filth way back when. Regardless, it's an ugly, misanthropic din that Rectal Hygienics barf up across this LP, and if you've got the stomach for it, this delivers one of the heaviest noise rock assaults so far this year.
    Musically, it's a particularly sinister strain of American noise rock, informed by the sludgier end of the Am Rep spectrum. Lots of crushing repeato-riffage laid down over the drummer's pounding caveman rhythms, and slathered in sickly droning guitar leads and plenty of putrid feedback squelch. There's also some filthy hardcore punk that rears its head on songs like "Suffocating", and the riffs are punishing; the whole sound of this LP is super-distorted to the point where it sounds as if chunks of amplifier speaker are charring and crumbling in the midst of their songs, guitars like titanic basalt blocks being ground together, but there's some brutally infectious tunes under that grueling blown-out noise. There's a bit of that Brainbombs-style bludgeon in the grinding monotony that overtakes some of these tunes, and there's an untitled song at the end that has a bone-scraping saxophone assault that'll really shred your nerves, but the vocals are a weird mix of drawled singing and harsh, distorted screams, sometimes layered underneath that menacing, disaffected moan. Pretty fearsome stuff that claws down into some seriously sickening psych-sexual muck in the human spirit - certainly makes sense that these guys have been tour-mates with Total Abuse. Limited to five hundred copies, includes a foldout poster insert with lyrics.   © CRUCIAL BLAST
