NASTY SURGEONS - Gangrenous Symphonies (12" LP on Black Vinyl) **Damaged Cover

With Gangrenous Symphonies, Nasty Surgeons once again prove that pathological death/grind is not just a style, but a mindset—an obsession carved into the flesh of every riff and blast beat. Hailing from Spain, this quartet dissects their craft with surgical precision, delivering a record as grotesque as it is invigorating.

From the opening incision, the band wastes no time. The riffs slice deep, relentless and sharp, drenched in the kind of old-school filth that fans of Exhumed, Carcass, and General Surgery will instantly recognize and revere. It’s all here: the viscera, the rot, the perfectly calibrated chaos. And yet, what sets Gangrenous Symphonies apart is its clarity of purpose. These songs may drip with gore, but they’re composed with intelligence and intention—each track a scalpel-sharp anthem of destruction.

Vocalist/guitarist Raúl Weaver channels that classic Jeff Walker-style snarl without imitation, while lead guitars weave in grotesque melodies and tastefully savage solos that elevate the record beyond simple sonic butchery. The rhythm section is relentless: Ramón Mur’s drumming is a constant assault, shifting tempo with intuitive menace, while the bass—especially in tracks like “Sepsis”—asserts itself with grime-coated authority.

What makes this release so satisfying is its consistency. There's no filler, no lull—just a steady torrent of rotting deathgrind that feels timeless rather than retro. The band isn’t trying to reinvent the scalpel, but they’ve sharpened it to a lethal point.

Gangrenous Symphonies isn’t just music—it’s a cleansing ritual, a blood-soaked escape from a decaying world. In a time of digital sterility and false polish, Nasty Surgeons offer the real thing: honest, violent, grotesquely beautiful death metal, performed with conviction and a love for the craft.
