Medical Concepts - Medical Concepts (2008)

   Medical Concepts was one of the countless bands of the late '00s who only had a demo and were possible to find only on Myspace. Still their music have made them outstanding and not only in the impoverished Hungarian metal scene, but also in wider, international perspective.
   The list of Carcass influenced grindcore or goregrind bands might be long, but while they are focusing mainly to be gory and sick as possible, or just simply copying the style of their icon; not many have approached the whole thing by basic simplicity. And that's exactly what Medical Concepts did, and they did that with such ease. By leaving no doubts about their Carcass addiction and their attraction to the main concept, they approached the whole thing from old school death metal influenced grindcore, that except some of the remained long time existing oldies is not so common to find. Less definitely counts more if a music is able to recall the feeling of the early '90s, and the same time it's introducing the intensiveness and freshness of a new era. Groovy and thrashing themes mixed with grinding insanity are creating a very enjoyable musical illustration of the horrors and threats of medical interventions. To understand the lyrics a pathology dictionary might be more useful, just like in old times. The mentioned threats are narrated by deep growling vocal (that together with the old school themes may remind to Deicide), but for emphasizing the importance of some parts a second cawing vocal style is there to support (reversed like in Carcass).
   Unfortunately the band didn't continue their activity, though their demo was quite impressive and counts as something unique even nowadays. Strongly recommended for the fans of old school musickness!
