Cryptic Gallbladder Splatter-groove, grindcore and gore, what else starts with a "G"? Oh yea, Great!

Recently finished Cryptic Gallbladder Splatter's latest album: "Giving Gore Grind its Groove Back".  CGS is from Orange County and has been together for almost 8 years. With super catchy songs, members with classical  training and one of the gnarliest vocalists in California, their latest is really killer... and pretty disturbing, check out some of their song titles!

I first thing I noticed about the band was alot of the quick, seemingly random changes into odd meters and very different genres of music. My first intuition was NO triggers and lots of dynamics (yes, even for a grind album). Luckily the band was very rehearsed and knew what they wanted, which left time for experimenting with sounds and making jokes.

Around the time of this album i was really getting sick of endless editing and triggering samples. Luckily the jazzy tunes allowed me to make an organic sounding album that still crushes your head in. We mixed the songs over the course of a couple weeks and then sent the master to Scott Hull where he did his mastering job at his own Visceral Sound. The albums sounds killer, check them out.
