PROSTITUTE DISFIGUREMENT: Embalmed Madness


Released: 2005

Well here's a wonderful name for a band. Prostitute Disfigurement hails from the Netherlands, a nation with a fine legacy of excellent extreme bands. PD doesn't really enhace that legacy aside from an attempt to out-gross their fellow countrymen with their ridiculously contrived band name. Even so, Embalmed Madness isn't too bad for your fairly typical death/grind release.

This is actually a re-release of an album from 2001 and also includes tracks from the band's original demo, but as those tracks are just rough versions of five of the same songs from the album there doesn't seem to be must point to their inclusion. It's not a particularly outstanding affair either, with that distinctly clicky rhythm track that signifies a drum machine, toilet-bowl vocal effects that sound like someone regurgitating their own bowel and samples of people either being murdered, commiting murder, or talking about murder. There's also typical "splatter" song titles ("On Her Guts I Cum", "Choking on Defecation") too, so you know you're going to get a nice diet of gore and depravity.

What this also has is a thick and heavy guitar sound and some occasionally catchy riffs, so it's good enough for a spin or three before it goes back into the box with all the other gore bands. In the end, Embalmed Madness is fairly garden-variety stuff.
