Deadfood- Weird Feelings (2000)

I can still remember finding out about these guys, many years ago.  I was looking online for a Subtract to Zero LP, and came across this small distro. that was running a sale.  So, long story short I was reading through the different titles they had and saw this Deadfood release.  The description said metal and jazz and some other stuff, so I was thinking, "Metal and Jazz, Hell ya!" so I picked it up for under $5!  When I got the cd I remember looking at the cover, then the inside cover, and thinking "what the hell?", due to the fact that there are only pictures of mushrooms on the cover, and not band info. what-so-ever anywhere in their packaging. Right away from minute number one, after I started playing it, I realized that this is one of the most unique sounding projects that I had come across.  With that being said, I have come across other bands that are similar in style, over the years, but with this being such a cool/cheap find, I rank it pretty high.

Weird Feelings is 13 track release that covers all aspects of musical enlightenment.  Deadfood hits the spastic uniqueness that most bands can't even comprehend.  In all honesty the only other album that can stand toe-to-toe with this is Mr. Bungle's Disco Volante album.  Multiple instruments get intertwined in a weave of highly experimental yet really well put together noise rock meets electronic rock meets noise/grindcore/experimentalism.  The band has members in other equally impressive projects but in all honesty, none can compare to Deadfood.  EdibleChrist has given me 2 other Deadfood releases, as gifts, and they are both just as freakin' awesome.  I have sat here, while typing this review to think of multiple ways to describe this project, but there is really no way to describe them.

Multiple instruments and multiple genre's and time changes mark this album repeatedly, which for any music enthusiast is a sign of great craftsmanship.  When I think of some of my favorite all time bands, broken down by genre/style, these guys definitely top the list of of their style; not to mention that I would say that they are probably in my top 25 all time favorites.  If you can find this, you should buy it, you will not be disappointed, but if you must, look on your favorite file sharing program. 

Official score- 4.20/5 

Unholy Grave & Fetus Eaters - Split 7 inch (2010)

Aptly ripping grindcore from both outfits here on this 7inch.
Unholy Grave bringing forth a quality grooving grind Agathocles'ian vibe, stomp ass, shred face, sample movies, get pissed, displaying some quirky elements here and there. A band I could definitely enjoy hearing more of.

Fetus Eaters being the odder of the two, featuring members of DEADFOOD whom M@(who turned me on to them in the first place) and I are both major fans of. Fetus Eaters set out to screw your mind as they warp your psyche with a rather genre-hopping and short songed Agathocles'ian, Boredoms, Exit-13, Naked City, approach to their rabidly off-kilter yet entertaining blasts of druggified, humorous grindcore.

All ready possessing most of their (Fetus Eaters) material in one form or another this isn't an essential piece but it does have songs not found on other releases and with its super quick listening time.

3.5/5 (heavily enjoyed yet won't be an obsessive listening object)
