### Mumakil: Behold the failure

#### 23/04/09 || Euthanatos

Whoa, hold on there, sonny, what the fuck is this? Talk about a whoop-ass, horse-sized cock anal raping. I had never even heard of Mumakil’s existence before, which is an incredible oversight on my part, since their debut is also really good, I have come to learn, but “Behold the Failure” is even better. This album, once again, caught my eye because of its awesome cover, and I was fucking punched in the gonads and had my face used as a mop to clean up my semen and blood on the floor. This is one relentless, cunt-fucking, evil son of a bitch of an album. It was so good, I immediately went online and bought the fucker and a t-shirt to boot, just to show my immense appreciation. I very, very rarely do that.

See, grindcore is the fucking shit. There’s nothing, for me, not to like about it; it’s fast, it’s furiously pissed-off, it’s no-holds-barred, screw your rules and pentatonic scales, it’s an I’m going to ram your mother’s mouth with shit and she’s going to like it-approach that I find really, really appealing. But, of course, there are those who just don’t fucking get it, and make noise out of something that should be blissful chaos. And that’s what I love about bands like Pig Destroyer, Nasum and now, Mumakil. They’re ridiculously fast and brutal, but there’s coherence, there’s some fucking common sense, and best of all, there is awesomeness in the songwriting.

I love the production on this fucker, everything, drums, bass (the fucking bass!), the guitars, the vocals, it’s all fucking crisp and neat, yet dirty enough to make you feel like you’re plowing through a field of piss and diarrhea. But with a smile on your face, because Mumakil never sounds forced or contrived, it’s shameless fun blended with fury.

27 tracks that never ever reach the 2 minute mark, because solos and song structure are for girly men. This is total fucking necro grind that is so venomous it will make your gut hurt.

Fuck you, I’m going outside right now and punching an old woman in the face.

P.S. I am fucking bewildered that these guys are from Switzerland, though. What the hell is there to be pissed about in fucking Switzerland? Did someone steal their chocolate?

The cover: The Mumakil going to battle, going to squash your balls like a hammer crushes an egg. But the shirt that Relapse sold me is fucking shit. Fuck you, Relapse, put some fucking effort into it.

9.5 fucking fuck you, motherfucker, grindcore up your ass yeah out of 10.
