Shevy's Review:
Gut.  That’s the only goregrind band I can think of that I like more than Rompeprop from Holland.  So what is it about these Dutch boys that makes them so great?  Quite simply, the fact that they can take a tired genre of metal such as goregrind and come up with some interesting, distinguished material.  The production on this album is phenomenal, really brining the brilliance of the mid-tempo guitars to the top, smoothing out every memorable, bone-crunching riff and mixing in some sharp, beat-driven drumming.  While there are blast beats to be had, they are well placed and generally used to contribute to the music instead of dominating in the name of brutality.  Typical pitch-shifted goregrind vocals level everything off with a nice dose of dry humor.  Highly creative, incredibly memorable, as much groove as there is simplicity, and they even do a good job covering Impetigo’s Boneyard.  If you don’t like Rompeprop, you simply don’t like goregrind.
