about

Back in 1993, death metal was still in its heyday. Bands were popping up all around the globe. If you blinked, you might have missed out on some true masterpieces. Or if you were like me, and were still playing with Tonka Trucks in the sandbox in ‘93, you didn’t get into death metal until nearly a decade later. Thanks to the Internet, however, one can find redemption and discover albums that they would have never heard otherwise.

As a 16-year-old, who became obsessed with early Carcass, I was always looking for more bands that were of the same pathologically-grinding ilk. One of my discoveries hit a nerve like no other: the 1993 debut album “Pathological Performances” by Swedish death-grind act Necrony.

Catchy, crunchy death metal riffage interposed with brutal grinding noise, pitch-shifted gutturals, and jazzy-lead guitars, all with a production-quality that is unmatched (thanks to producer Dan Swano), this lone record from Necrony absolutely floored me when I first heard it. It continues to amaze me to this day. Well over a decade later, I do not tire of it, and nearly 30 years since its release, it still sounds fresh! It is truly an underrated and timeless masterpiece.

The band disbanded shortly after this release and the members went on to form grindcore legends Nasum.

Sadly, “Pathological Performances” became very hard to find, in spite of being a cited influence by many modern death metal and goregrind acts. The album was released in 1993 only on CD, it went out of print, and it has never been reissued or released on any other format since then. Until now!

It is with utmost honor and excitement that I announce that Gurgling Gore will be releasing the first-ever official cassette tape version of Necrony’s “Pathological Performances” on Friday, June 4th at 3:00 PM (EST).

I have been working for months with the members of Necrony to make this a reality. The band has revamped the original CD artwork and layout for the cassette format. The members also have curated an alternate track listing specifically for this release. However, the mix and master has been untouched. (Why fuck with what Dan Swano did back in ‘93?)

To coincide with this release, there will be a number of merch preorders available, as well. They all have been designed by Necrony’s guitarist/bassisst/vocalist Anders Jakobson.

As with all of our releases, the cassette will be limited in quantity and the merch items will be preorder only. DO NOT SLEEP ON THIS! Just think - it could be another 28 years until it is reissued again...
