NAKED WHIPPER - Moloch: Acid Orgy (MCD)

Naked Whipper's Moloch + Acid Orgy is an unrelenting barrage of blackened grind savagery, sharpening the raw, bestial attack of Painstreaks into an even tighter, nastier assault. Stripping away any excess, this EP hones in on the band's most vicious tendencies—blistering blast beats, punishing guitar barrages, and a suffocating atmosphere of depravity, all delivered with a reckless, sadistic glee.

While Painstreaks already set a high bar for filth-ridden extremity, Moloch + Acid Orgy refines that formula just enough to hit even harder. The riffing is more pronounced, delivering a sharper impact amidst the relentless tempo, as heard in the hammering force of "Enchristianization" and the unhinged momentum of "Rape n' Ride." There's a sense of structure beneath the chaos, with each track pummeling forward like a runaway freight train fueled by pure contempt. The drumming remains an unstoppable force, peppered with fills that build tension before crashing into full-speed battery.

Adding to the band's twisted sense of humor, the EP opens with a sample from Meet the Feebles, a grotesque contrast to the sheer auditory violence that follows. This moment of absurdity makes the ensuing carnage feel even more reckless, as if the band is toying with the listener before dropping them headfirst into the abyss. The production is rougher than Painstreaks, but rather than dull the impact, it intensifies the experience—every note sounds like it’s clawing through the mix, enhancing the EP’s feral and lawless nature.

If Painstreaks left scars, Moloch + Acid Orgy ensures they never heal. It's a savage refinement of Naked Whipper’s sound, delivering a more condensed, vicious, and unfiltered dose of their brand of sonic violence. Brief but utterly obliterating, this is blackened grind at its most primal—a filthy, razor-edged experience that leaves no room for escape.
