about

By the mid-nineties, brutal music needed a swift jab to the solar plexus. The great bands of the previous decade had split up or moved on. MÖRSER emerged from the darkest European underground to release their 1st and finest album, "two hours to doom". They incorporated chaotic and dissonant aspects from beyond the genre. In MÖRSER's case, they borrowed the angular disorder of Rorschach, and built on the achievements of other great bands from their Bremen hometown (Acme, Carol and Systral). This 1st MÖRSER album is the signature "Bremen sound" taken to cartoonish levels of extremity. If Systral had two vocalists, MÖRSER would have four. If Acme sounded like the end of the world, then MÖRSER sounded like they were terraforming a new one. "two hours to doom" took the sound of Systral's "fever" from a year previously, diced it up, then ran a steamroller over it. The result was some of the most explosive, dynamic grindcore ever made. The sonic violence strikes from every direction. The vocalists growl, scream, bark. The riffs clash and scratch against one another, and the drums return like a tsunami, removing the ground from underneath. This is more complex than earlier grindcore. The myriad riffing of death-metal is condensed into 60 sec. songs (22 of them in 24 min.). The synergy between riffs and drums is amazing, particularly considering how fast these guys are playing and the number of split-second changes being made. The production, courtesy of Dirk Kusche, is flawless. "two hours to doom" is a killer. Records like these were the vanguard of modern grindcore. They showed a conscious departure from the straight-up punkish approach of the earlier bands. Like Acme and Systral before them, MÖRSER saw music as a momentary expulsion of bile. That is the way it should be. Classic!

Botch is the offspring you would get if Agnostic Front and Meshuggah had consensual sex without contraception. It hits you like a king hit from a mugger and grabs hold of ears like a lesbian mid climax. I am still coming to grips with the fact that I only recently discovered them. nord3276
