HAEMORRHAGE - Haematology: The Singles Collection (2007)


Haematology Studies: Karl Landsteiner Should Be Proud


Blessed are those pathologists who own all the splits that have been vomited by the Spaniards into the festers of the underground. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to buy the things, yet my sweet adventure with dr. Obnoxious has been lasting since the “Anatomical Inferno” times. So, for some it will be useless, for me just a great title. This time 34 hits have been extracted from the splits with such bands like Nunslaughter, WTN, Embolism, Suffocate, Obliterate, Gonkulator, Ingrowing, Groinchurn, Denak, Terrorism, Damnable and Christ Denied. Since 1995 to 2005, ten rotten years in pus on the whole. Modestly released digipak contains of all the front-covers and some words of explanations on each title, starting from being absolutely crazy due to releasing their first vinyl through Morbid Records to the unreleased split with WTN due to the label lost the original masters, and what is interesting, at first the band has been accused of using some Nazi symbol in the artwork. Hard to believe that shit…

This compilation hasn’t got any musical deviations. This is the same perfect goregrind I am accustomed to, although these killing 73 minute beast is a really challenging task to get through because of its rampant blasting fury and take no prisoners attitude. Well, or maybe I should write take some prisoners attitude for a surgical intervention?! Anyway, this is sick, deranged art that makes my senses armless. And no matter which hit gets out of my speakers. For sure my attention was focused especially on “Putrefaction (I Still Remind)” song as it has never been put on any album. And right off it became another catchy gory-story next to such highlights like “Feasting on Purulence”, “I’m a Pathologist”, “Enshrouded in Putrilage”, “Decom-posers” or “Anatomized” to name a few. The songs schedule is like an archeology work, we start from the newest split at that time to the oldest piece dated on February 1995. And that is great idea the songs haven’t been mixed. Summing the things up, it’s a really good compilation, with treasures of anatomy only. Beyond the shadow of a doubt, the Spanish pathohaematology makes good progress.   

But beware, dr. Obnoxious is as watchful as a hawk and ready to anatomize the senses and the flesh… keeping a scalpel on high…
