Venomous Concept - Politics Versus The Erection

 
Man - Venomous Concept are legends for a reason and this fourth record reminds us exactly why. The grindcore supergroup has returned to us at a time where it seems like we may need them most. For those not in the loop the band features the legendary Shane Embury and Danny Herrera of Napalm Death. On vocals is former Brutal Truth and SOB singer Kevin Sharpe and John Cooke of Corrupt Moral Altar (And live guitars for Napalm Death!) In an era of COVID-madness, political insurrection and seemingly neverending suffering, Venomous Concept stand tall to crack skulls, punish eardrums and remind us why grindcore started changing the world in the first place. 

There is simply so much to sink your teeth into with Politics Versus The Erection. Yes the songs remain pretty straightforward but the lyrics are as vicious as ever. On top of that, this is probably the best exemplar of both Venomous Concepts songwriting skill and has some of their best production to date. The crushing slowness of a track like 'Shadows' is really delectable too. The experimentalism of tracks like album closer 'Politics Versus The Erection' provide a wonderful counterbalance to some of the more punishing grinding madness found throughout the rest of the record. With Politics Versus The Erection Venomous Concept find a way to build on old tropes but also show they are still willing to expand their sound. 

So yeah - there aren't too many surprises here. This is exactly what you'd expect to happen with a grind supergroup featuring the guys it does. This is what the genre is all about and their raw rock fury is going to keep listeners utterly entranced. Venomous Concept largely stick to straight grind ideas but aren't afraid to explore. Ultimately - this is exactly the record that all the fans were hoping for and it is all the better because of that. This is grindcore at its finest, proving that the old gods of grind will never fail.

  2. A GREAT SPELL CASTER (DR. EMU) THAT HELP ME BRING BACK MY EX GIRLFRIEND.
    Am so happy to testify about a great spell caster that helped me when all hope was lost for me to unite with my ex-girlfriend that I love so much. I had a girlfriend that love me so much but something terrible happen to our relationship one afternoon when her friend that was always trying to get to me was trying to force me to make love to her just because she was been jealous of her friend that i was dating and on the scene my girlfriend just walk in and she thought we had something special doing together, i tried to explain things to her that her friend always do this whenever she is not with me and i always refuse her but i never told her because i did not want the both of them to be enemies to each other but she never believed me. She broke up with me and I tried times without numbers to make her believe me but she never believed me until one day i heard about the DR. EMU and I emailed him and he replied to me so kindly and helped me get back my lovely relationship that was already gone for two months.
