Krampüs - Graveyard Blowjob (2014)

   Grindcore or death/grind isn't the most usual style to encounter in the small Hungarian extreme metal scene, therefore Krampüs was able to gain attention instantly by their first full-length album, "Mental Holocaust". Decent, primitive and enjoyable death/grind, that's easy to go into.
    By their return with "Graveyard Blowjob" they continued the same grossness and violence based path spiced with some sexual aberrations and perversions, but this time with way better sound quality than before. It's not the most usual sound if it's about grindcore, more like modern brutal death metal related, but it turned out to be an advantageous step, cause the noisier, lower toned sound instantly highlighted the heaviness of their music. Therefore "Graveyard Blowjob" hits way harder than the first album did by its dull sound, that kinda took from the impression of the music's intensity. Krampüs had a strong old school touch since the beginning, and they preferred to rely on the contrast of thrashing tempo and frequent slow downs. Actual grinding is way less common than how it should be expected. The brutal death tone can compense that, and by the primitive approach during the short songs lengths it works just fine. But this way grinding became like some very special gift that a death/grind band is willing to offer only occasionally.
