Vulvectomy - Putrescent Clitoral Fermentation (2007)

   Vulvectomy was formed and debuted in 2007 during the Renaissance of grindcore, which had mainly porn grind in its focus, and also slamming brutal death metal bands became quite widespread. While these two factors definitely had influence on their style, the question might stand, what made this band notable or interesting among their countless coataneouses, which mostly had the same musical intentions, messages and both lyrically and visually explicit approach? 

   The short answer might be nothing really, except Vulvectomy's music had slightly simpler and more old school approach than most similar bands. And what turned out to be interesting: this simplicity pushed their music closer to deathcore, which also wouldn't count as something extraordinary in this genre, but by arriving to this point from different roots isn't so usual. The band operated with so basic themes and dummy riffs by mainly staying at groovy middle speed, that for first listening it wouldn't even sound incorrect to call them as a deathcore band. Basically only breakdowns are missing. Only the occasional occurrence of brutal death intensity is able to shake up the listener from this assumption, but the dominant repeatedness of the groovy middle speed and themes might leading back to the same consequence. Similar analogy used to occur at bands that are having at least distant relation with deathcore, for instance in case of harcore / crust punk bands if they want to sound heavier. However, the way how Vulvectomy's style turned out, made them compatible with both slamming brutal death and deathcore audiences. The album perfectly fits into the mid-late '00s extreme era, and might be highly enjoyable for the addicts of sexually explicit and gore based musickness.
