Fans of Crepitation, who have been following the band for over 17 years, won’t be surprised by the outrageously wild title of their new album, “Monstrous Eruption of Impetuous Preposterosity.” The album takes listeners on a thrilling journey with its unconventional song titles, where the band skillfully combines words and phrases in hilariously foul ways. The songs are a blend of brutal and chaotic elements, featuring concrete-fracturing punishment, screeching strings, and intense drumming that resembles a fusion-powered sewing machine. With their unique style and experimental approach, Crepitation demonstrates their musical prowess in every track.
One standout single from the album, “Methanated Propulsion of Gaseous Levitation,” showcases the band’s ability to create a queasily uplifting experience inspired by wet farts. The song is a testament to Crepitation instrumental proficiency and their willingness to push boundaries. The album, released by Australian label Vicious Instinct Records on June 23rd, consists of thirteen songs that take listeners on a madhouse gauntlet, leaving them exhilarated yet somewhat bewildered. Clocking in at approximately 34 minutes, the record delivers a relentless assault of bludgeoning riffs, headbang-inducing grooves, and infectious bass lines, all while maintaining a sense of twisted fun.
The opening track, “Carcinogenital Space Hopper,” sets the tone with its abrupt transition from musings about enhancing focus to an onslaught of crushing and screeching sounds. Despite the cold and primitive nature of the music, Crepitation incorporates method into the madness. The album strikes a balance between tonalities, mix, and groove to structure the chaos effectively. Amidst the un-serious lyrical themes, the band’s technical skills shine through, featuring intricate guitar work and attention-grabbing twists and turns that demand the listener’s focus.
As the album progresses, tracks like “Rancid Blubbery Encrustments” continue to raise the intensity, showcasing blistering fretwork, thunderous drumming, and unconventional sonic eruptions. Interspersed with humorous samples, the songs offer a mind-bending combination of intricate musicality, depraved themes, and aggressive energy. Each track is a whirlwind of surprises, with hairpin instrumental maneuvers and grotesque vocal expressions that create an exhilarating and utterly insane listening experience.
Recorded in various locations by the band members themselves, “Monstrous Eruption of Impetuous Preposterosity” was mixed and mastered by Tripy at Horsebastard Studios. The album features suitably mental cover art by Art of Gore. Vicious Instinct proudly presents the album in CD and digital formats, with pre-orders available now. Crepitation latest release is a testament to their unique sound, taking their signature style to new heights of speed, technicality, silliness, grind, and extreme madness.
