The label responsible for this stupendous slab of seriously fast and ugly music stated in their press release, "This is grindcore in 2024. You'll like this record if you enjoy grindcore music, and bands that play it.” I’m going to pitch to a wider net of consumers, the grind-dabblers. Do you have a Repulsion CD in a cupboard somewhere? Enjoyed that Insect Warfare tour 15-20 years ago? Let’s widen the net… have you ever purchased a piece of merchandise by the band Extortion (not grind but common’ you like fast, angry music)? If you answered yes to one or more of these questions, consider the Internal Rot / Moisturizer split 7” potentially being your bag baby, YEAH! Internal Rot continue their perfect-for-the-grind-dabbler discography, averaging about 7 minutes of completely satisfying, invigorating, despicably raw but also rockin’ grindcore every half-decade. Lyrical contributions from the enigmatic Maquarie Fletcher add another layer to this deliciously bitter onion. Rhode Island's Moisturizer are a perfect pairing, offering a different thrash-y punkified flavour of grind. There’s something about their eccentric, snare first mix that really puts a smile on my dial. - Nic Moisturizer / Internal Rot - Split EP (Undesirable-030) by Anthems of The Undesirable
