Normally I am not one to go out for much
grindcore, as the scene is controlled by a bunch
of tight wadded, spastic scenester kids making
awful political statements or channeling their
A.D.D. into the craziest patterns their hands and
feet and vocal chords can spew. I am far more the
type who likes his grind sauteed in well written
death metal and a complete lack of pretentious
posturing. Morgue Supplier, out of Chicago, offer
a solution that everyone can be satisfied with,
and Constant Negative is an excellent shell for
the terrifying payload potential. Morgue Supplier
is a HEAVY  band, the kind of heavy that is
used to demolish concrete structures, foreign
armies and the dreams of the innocent. They
provide a bleak indoctrination into the
hopelessness of living, the perversity and
addiction which still corrode the margins of our
civilization despite the wasted attempts of public
service announcements and too often hypocritical
good will.
That all of this is delivered in just over 21
minutes (less, if you discount the Metallica
cover) is a testament to the band's talent at
writing impulses of carefully constructed chaos.
Morgue Supplier are a dynamic band, that is, they
will not simply blast and grind through you; they
actually write songs, which range from the
staggering and unforgiving speed of other
deathgrind acts to slower, doom laden passages
which recall a fantasy jam session between
Godflesh and Pestilence in 1989. Vocalist Paul
Gillis sounds like a bulldog who was experimented
upon, given sentience, then escaped from his
captors and tormentors in a lab fire, and is now
out to seek revenge...okay...not one mutant
bulldog, but a pack of them. He snarls and growls
in tandem, creating a percussive ruckuss that adds
momentum to the rhythm sections which feel like
getting slammed in the jaw repeatedly by a steel
girder swinging from a crane.
"Constant Negative" itself is the grand
christening to this timely little juggernaut, and
it swells with almost Gorguts-level mathematical
oddness that breaks into some of the slower
passages (I mentioned before). "Slave" will just
 kill you, a grinding thrasher hyped up on
every drug imaginable. But thank to the excellent
production here, you can taste every little
meathook rhythm as it hooks a slab for the
freezer. The riffs after :30 actually become
intensely hypnotic before they transform into an
all out battery which places your brain and audio
inputs at the brink of collapse. "Forgive Nothing"
is the sound of those aforementioned bulldogs
tearing up the flesh of anyone in their path,
grinding vomit holocaust with spasms of winding
thrash death punch. "Mother of Dog" is one of the
longer originals on the EP, and the slowdown after
1:00 is one of the most atmospheric, incredible
segments of the material...like the drug addled
stupor of one too many early AM rushes to the
emergency ward.
"Life my pledge not will I
know not do I which that to
deaf are ears my blind are eyes my
God call you that ~lol~ this to
yourself question you do"
Indeed! "Degenerate" is another turbulent piece
with some tight, spastic hooks that resound like a
pedophiliac's laughter as he's handed his pink
slip from the local prison. After this, we are
treated with Morgue Supplier's rendition of "Fight
Fire With Fire", and while I would have gladly
traded it for another original track, at least the
band makes it their own (after the acoustics, of
course). The vocals actually sound good over it,
and the blasted bridge riff is pretty hot. The EP
closes with two re-recordings of tracks from the
band's 2004 Sociopath album. "Convulsive
Reoccurence" features some of the most slamming
breaks on the EP, busily grooving beneath the
destructive arc of Gillis' throat, and has another
of those incredible slow rhythms, vibrating
beneath some architectural speed picking. "Open
Sore Abuse" is laden with Eric Bauer's shifting
drum work and some insane rise & fall rhythms,
like the final cleaving of skull from neck as the
bonesaw drives on down to the autopsy table.
Morgue Supplier is pretty , in all the right
ways, but you never once feel as if they lose
control over what they are creating (like so many
of those subpar spastic bands created to impress
the brainy chic that always hangs around the local
tattoo parlor). The lyrics are deceptively
simple...delivering chaos through a stream of
angered thoughts that accumulate from the far
corners of the mind. This is no bad acid trip,
it's more like a bad night of 'mix and match
whatever chemicals you have in your cupboard'.
It's like drinking antifreeze and being rushed off
to the clinic...your whole life flashes before
your eyes, or at least someone's life.
Complaints? Not really...I could have lived
without the Metallica cover, but it's not bad. If
you like death metal, you will probably like this.
If you like grindcore, you will probably like
this. Ghettocore? Sure. 'Math' metal? Why not.
Constant Negative supplies so many corpses that
they're stacked up in the back alley BEHIND the
morgue. It will be great to hear the band's next
full-length, especially if it can retain the
quality of what this EP contains. Of course, I'm
not sure the Prairie State can carry such a burden
without exploding, but if Morgue Supplier wipes it
off the map, all the better!
