This Danish grind band’s name implies irreverence, but metal doesn’t get much more intense than this out-of-left-field debut LP. Even at just 24 minutes, it’ll exhaust all but the hardiest listeners. Piss Vortex’s combination of absurdly dissonant riffage and sparse, Albini-esque tone make for quite a scabrous aural environment; the guitars here sound more like people attacking bridge cables with sledgehammers than they do like instruments. If you’re the masochistic type who enjoys off-the-wall grind like Noisear and Maruta, or if the idea of Obscura-era Gorguts trading in the death metal trappings for punk brevity sounds appealing, this under-the-radar gem is mandatory listening. –Doug [LISTEN]
