Satan's Almighty Penis - Thy Foulness Cum EP (2008)


Witness the edification of the unholy! Three blasphemous tracks of disheveled aural holocaust channeled into loosely structured black metal with streaks of noise and ambiance. This is both the best and worst thing you will hear this Christmas. And there has been no greater evidence that Iowa, is in fact, the gateway to Hell. And you thought it was Las Vegas!

The EP opens with the devastating "Sacrifyx", bludgeoning busts of buzzsaw blade chords and speed lines intermixed with the horrific vocals of Syntax Function A. "Leper Apocalypse" is more metal in the face, though the noise still flows around the driving daemonic riffs and tortured screaming. This is serious fucking business:

O rich man in his tower
The holy bastard in a church
Starving wretch in his hovel
In death, all men are equal

The third and final track, almost four minutes in actual length, is "Scarred With Human Life", which boasts a different production, and is more of a straight black metal tune, and a decent, primal one at that. This third track does break into a somber, doom-like phase which is glorious like the death of all humanity.

This is actually a pretty enjoyable EP if you have less than 10 minutes to kill and you want to listen to a foul abberation of black metal and noise, which is both sadistic and entertaining. Having no exposure to their previous full-length Into the Cunt of Chaos, I can't draw any comparisons. Apparently this was recorded back in 2006. Hail Iowa. And hail Satan's demonhood.

Verdict: Win [7/10]
