Ah yes, good ole disgusting, offensive and hilariously brutal goregrind. Atlanta, Georgia’s Amoebic Dysentery are every bit of that description and then some. Along with the typical traits found in goregrind, i.e. twenty five songs or more totaling less than thirty minutes of run time, movie outtakes as intros to many of the songs, guttural gurgling processed vocals, headshaking songs titles full of fecal matter and just overall offensively humorous and cover art to match… Amoebic Dysentery’s third full length album “Hospice Orgy” throws in a few little quirks that make them slightly unique.

Now don’t get me wrong, I realize that the words “unique” and “goregrind” shouldn’t exactly be in the same sentence together, but there is a lot of goofiness going on in this album as well as some interesting time changing and wacky technicality. In any other genre, it wouldn’t be seen as anything to get excited about at all, but when your ears are being bludgeoned by nonstop grinding insanity, these little things give the album some character. For one, they throw in quite a bit of twangy clean vocals amid the belching. By twangy, I mean a southern hick type accent that they are clearly exaggerating for effect.

But all of that aside, “Hospice Orgy” is still a blisteringly brutal goregrind release. The drums are obviously programmed because… seriously, come on. Actually, a line in the press release sent with this album describing the band said, “inhuman drum machine.” I’m not sure if that was meant to be a joke or not, but it made me laugh all the same. What I’m saying is that this album is fast. Really fast.

The cover is just awesome. A lot of bands in this genre like to put grisly real life pictures of maimed bodies or autopsy cadavers and whatnot, but the cover for “Hospice Orgy” is a hand drawn picture of exactly what the album title implies. Gross but hilarious. Some of the song titles, as expected, crack me up. I especially like “Goddamn I Gotta Piss Worse Than a Baby Needs a Casket” and “Nobody Cares ‘Cause You’re Fat” which opens with the audio from the now classic internet video of that fat lady who falls off of that platform while crushing grapes to make wine. You’ve seen it… we’ve all seen it and laughed our asses off.

Overall, “Hospice Orgy” is a fun thirty minutes of insane, wacky goregrind that I would love to see live. Maryland Deathfest needs to bring these guys back.
