Gorerotteds first cd was infiltrating to the senses but their new cd takes those senses and hacks them to bits. Every song is now different from every song on the cd but at the same time exactly alike, and the songs are truly brutal to say the least. Never before have I heard such an awesome album not to mention that it is only their second cd and they have already perfected their own unique sound. This is a must buy!!!

Gorerotted are the kings of the modern U.K. goregrind scene and this album truly shows why. Fast paced, brutal songs with hilarious lyrics and vocal stylings make this whole album a half hour of pure gorey fun. There is a two vocalist assault, and these two men make some of the sickest sounds ever recorded on album. The vocalists go from a puking sound, to a burping sound, to a growl, to a high pitched yell/scream, really it is the vocals that make this band king. The lyrics are just extremely over the top, and pretty much everything about this band is over the top. Gorerotted never gets brutal just for the sake of getting brutal though, these are 9 songs of pure gore grinding sickness and madness. Gorerotted is definitely not the most brutal goregrind band, but they are one of the most creative and talented goregrind bands for sure.

Gorerotted are one of the most impressive bands you will currently find on the metal scene. Complete with gorey lyrics and ridiculously funny song titles, Gorerotted back up their funny attitude with some REAL musicianship, an area where extremists such as Mortician and other such bands fall flat. Firsty, there's the amazing duel vocal assualt Mr.Gore (ultra, ultra deep death vocals) and Goreskin, who has a mad distinguishable, heavily english accented high pitched scream. It gives the music a feel too.... To me I imagine dark, dripping 19th century underworld torture chambers. Also worth mentioning, Mr.Gore has left the band but has not been replaced, The Wilson (bass) taking over on his behalf for the vocals. Hopefully he can do it just as well, 'cuz I really enjoy this pair.
The Wilson is an awesome bassist, he can do just about anything and really puts some inventive stuff through the mix that can be well heard... yes great production as well!
Whilst being very heavy, Fluffy and Robin Pants are ultra tight guitarists, they write some freakin sick rhythms and great leads. I really love the solos too, although they are few.

Junky John Rushforth is an awesome drummer, he changes times perfectly and keeps things very interesting, one of the more inventive drummers and definitely one of the more skilled. He plays some VERY fast double bass and can blastbeat the pants of just about anyone around these days (except for maybe Flo Mournier and Derek Roddy)!

To describe the music, I would say it's a combination of grind, extreme punk and hardcore death metal... Of course its hella brutal! Time changes, memorable songs and addictive riffs make sure it's something very hard to say negative things about. I really love the way everything meticulously crafted so that every moment of every song is worth listening to.
All in all, i would recommend this cd to all death metal and grindcore fans, this is a band that doesn't rely on extremities to sell records, buy this, worship it then tell ya friends to do the same!!
Highest recommendations! :D

Gorerotted had an great debut but their next release was even better... If you want everything from gore lirycs, to sick art, in other words just plain disturbing ? Then gorerotted's "only tool & corpses" is the choise for you. Higly recommended!

This album is possibly one of the greatest gore metal albums I've ever encountered. You can say that they're goregrind, as they do have a definite grindcore influence along with their brutal death metal, but this isn't a disc you'll get bored of after just a few songs. Nope, this is pure brilliance.

The dual vocal assault of Ben Rotted and Mr. Gore is one of the standouts on this CD. The vocal range is what really got me into this band, from growls to higher pitched screaming. Every member of this band does their part well. The lyrics, well, they're repulsive to many, but pleasing to few, like me.

Favorite tracks: All of them! You won't get bored with this if you want over-the-top, genuine gore fun.

For all exhumed fans and lovers out there? Look no further then gorerotted's "only tools and corpses" truly an amazing work and pure evil and brutal as well. Highly recommended

If your a fan of deathmetal and grind you must know when bands are trying to be funny or sirious...Well, gorerotted sure is not trying to be sirious at all. Only tools and corpses is the album that i wasn't realy into gorerotted but mutilated in minutes is a much stronger album by this guys without a doubt! The best song here to me is hacksore...Worth it!

Wow, now these guys should write a splatter film!!! It'd be the sickest, funniest, and most disturbing horror film ever made. Heck for moments I thought I was literally listening to the undead talking about there hobbies! If you like heavy, brutal, and sick music, then this is the band for you. They knock the pants off Cannibal Corpse. Deathgrind has come along way in terms of brutality since Carcass, and these guys are probably the best. The best being Vomitorial Corpulence in my oppinion. Oh and the vocals really set Gorerotted apart from other Deathgrind bands. One sounds like a crust punk scream and the other sounds like the lead for Regurgitate. All in all, if you're a sick who likes loud music, then this is the band for you.

First off, alot of people think death metal is death metal and that everything is the same within the genre. THAT IS NOT TRUE. Death metal artists get there labels mainly through there lyrics, when in reality death metal is more focused on tempos and beats. Secondly, Gorerotted is a band who deserves more credit than a "for fans of cannibal corpse" review. CC's music doesnt compare to the shattering drum blasts and bass slapping tabs as goreroted. If you like extreamly fast drumming with bass beats pounding and tunned down guitars, this album is for you.

This is an nonstop heavyness in your ears with the most amazing & demonic sound in the deathmetal world! The most original & brilliant sound as well as lirycs will set gorerotted from gore bands like cannibal corpse...This is amast have for fans of fast & heavy deathmetal with gore lirycs & awsome production--this is for you right here!!Gorerotted rules!!!
