I saw these guys at Obscene Extreme and they blew me away! E.T.D. was fortunate enough to see them perform once more in Prague and a month later in Ohio at Dead By Dawg II. We became quick friends and we all have a mutual love/hate for Fraiser. haha
HELLS HEADBANGERS is proud to present MELTING ROT's highly anticipated second album, Infatuation With Premeditation, on CD, LP and cassette formats.
Formed in 2017, MELTING ROT quickly made their presence felt in the underground with two EPs in as many years and then a three-way split after that. In 2021 came their full-length debut, Blood Delusions, for the cult Headsplit Records. And while it's been quiet on their front since then, MELTING ROT later linked up with HELLS HEADBANGERS for the Cold Case Files compilation, and now present their most punishing record yet: Infatuation With Premeditation.
Their second full-length, Infatuation With Premeditation is prime MELTING ROT taken to the penultimate extreme. Featuring 11 completely distinct tracks - a rarity, it must be said, in the grindcore world - this 18-minute whirlwind of filth & fury is equal parts Dead Infection, Excruciating Terror, and 2000s Regurgitate. No more but definitely no less, MELTING ROT proudly fly the flag for all-caps GRINDCORE: D-beat to blast to stomp to repeat, mince as necessary, and sparing no amount of gutsfucking heaviness. Truly, Infatuation With Premeditation is as sharp as a scalpel blade and as effective as a sledgehammer, sluicing sickness set to stun - and actually catchy, like so much foundational grindcore and deathgrind. Suitably, Exhumed's Matt Harvey contributes guest vocals on "Morbid Infatuation," underlining the sort of sonic lineage to which MELTING ROT honorably belong. Canoes, leave the hall!
