MP3: General Surgery - Slithering maceration of ulcerous facial tissue
"We're General Surgery! We play Death Metal!" Indeed they do, and they do it well. Last night's show here in Olympia was fantastic, bonus that recent Fenriz band-of-the-week pick Midnight played support along with local faves Funerot (who keep sounding better and better each time I see them). I actually don't think I've ever spent much time listening to General Surgery on record -- their discography is awfully meager considering how long they've been around -- but I may have to correct that now. Gore-obsessed grind can easily get tedious, but those dudes throw in enough grooves and classic Swedish death melodies to rise above the rabble. Performed live on stage in bloodied hospital whites just makes it that much more powerful. I'm still smiling thinking about it now.
