Even though the band’s name should already basically speak for itself, I’ll give you a short quote from their info sheet: “LORD GORE is a slavering horde of psychotic individuals with an insatiable hunger for violence, gore and deviated pornography… drawing inspiration from Autopsy, Impetigo, Rigor Mortis…” In other words – what you get here is the usual combination of gore’n’porn movie elements in the lyrical department and an old CARCASS / AUTOPSY – style songwriting. These guys are without a doubt trying to provoke the weak hearted in a rather offensive manner – and in order to back that up even more, they also present themselves on pictures in a extremely bloody vein. The album’s cover art is of course also based on their sick image, but for some strange reason was done by a Japanese comic artist, so it ended up looking completely Manga like… not necessarily the best decision in my opinion. But as tastes are different, I probably just don’t get it. Before this debut full length reared its ugly head, LORD GORE already released two demos (“Dark Lords Of The Cyst” and “Massive Deconstructive Surgery”), contributed a cover of ‘Breakfast At The Manchester Morgue’ to the IMPETIGO tribute album (the song also made it onto this album) and by now a cover of REPULSION’s ‘Decomposed’ has also been recorded already (don’t know yet when and where it’ll be used though). Like I mentioned a few times before already – this certainly ain’t my favorite type of music (especially the constantly used, rather annoying movie excerpts completely turn me off), but all you sickos out there into blood’n’guts’n’gore Grind / Death stuff shouldn’t hesitate to check them out. LORD GORE could easily become another soon to be favourite of yours… But don’t let yourselves fool by the impressive playing time of the album – the last thirty minutes is just over and over repeated bullshit.

First of all do not get confused by the album’s excessive playing time because the 11 songs plus an intro make over 40 minutes of music and 30 minutes are noisy crap at the end of the CD. Although this is a pretty stupid idea it does not affect my opinion that the Californian Gore Death sickheads LORD GORE’s first full-length is a damn good CD! The guys took the heart of AUTOPSY, the bowels of IMPETIGO and the delicious brain of CARCASS and steered it up to prepare a tasty feast for every Death, Grind, Gore lunatic out there. Songs like the damn cool ‘Morguewhore’, ‘Necro-Erotik-Art’, the fabulous IMPETIGO-Cover ‘Breakfast At The Manchester Morgue’ or ‘Krash Kourse In Psychopathology’ are nothing but good produced, straight to your guts old school inspired Gore Death that rocks the corpse without remorse. Scream / Growl / Gurgle vokills, no technical fuck around, sick and funny samples, brutality, groove, bloodthirst, organs – on “The Autophagous Orgy” you get everything you could expect from an excellent morbid album, so fucking get it or be “raped by the dead…” www.razorbackrecords.com
