Cellgrat - Deception Schematic / External Habitation


Speaking of short lived cult grindcore bands here's another one from the American continent. This one's called Cellgraft, they formed in 2008 and sing about how everything is going to shit. In 2012 they called it quits after one full length (full 12 minutes of audio!) and a few eps, splits and demos. I've never actually bothered to check out their full length release, something I'll have to correct very soon but I've been digging their two EPs quite a lot over the years.

Deception Schematic is fully immersed into old school 90s grindcore style including the low end muffled production. Lots of screams, crunchy guitars and a few guttural vocals thrown in the mix for good measure. It's also really short, like 7 and a half minutes short. This is probably the greatest downfall of it. You don't really get to hear much of it but what you do is excellent if you're into more old school style.

External Habitation on the other hand has a much different approach. It's slightly longer but it's completely different in atmosphere and production. Everything has a lot of gain making it teeth sharp and extremely loud and disorienting. Seriously this shit is bordering on noise at times. I don't enjoy this one as much as I do DS but it's still a pretty wild and fun ride albeit also short one.

Get them both.
