Parfumerie - Transmundane and Unprofessional Delocation of Superfluous Extremities and Rare Tissues (2014)

   Parfumerie was a short lived goregrind project of thrash/death band Besieged guitarist Nolan Smit and Joe Belanger, known from grindcore band Archagathus.
   Weird, but the different background of both musicians could be sensed on Parfumerie's short one and only demo record. Compared to the raw simplicity of Archagathus, the songs seemed a bit more complex (by goregrind standards), and simply having better riffs. This slight difference proved to be enough to provide some diversity for the music, and even if it's about songs that barely reach 1 minute in length, this is mainly responsible for the higher enjoyability compared to Archagathus. Heavy, old school riffs giving perfect ground for the insane grinding that follows, and even the demo sound turned out to be pretty advantageous for the exaggeratedly filthy disharmony of the songs. These are brief moments of course, but endlessly sick and effective moments. The same could be told about Parfumerie in general in the extreme metal scene. However, even if Archagathus switched their style to goregrind later on, their music was never really able to outpeer the sick greatness of this short Parfumerie demo. If it's about musical minimalism in the era of the increased importance of sound, such similarly subtle differences could be quite determining. Parfumerie might be a potential favorite for the fans of grindcore and goregrind!
