For fans of Carcass, Ak’chamel, Tantric Bile, and the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, the experimental tape Weeping on Banks of Garbage by Tongue Yanked reacts with pure disgust to humanity’s global trash apocalypse. Combining world music samples with unfiltered goregrind, this 45 track release contrasts environmental beauty with the endless flood of shit we throw away and the waste we ship off to third world countries. This dynamic between cultural richness and colonial excess is marked by improvised instrumentals and frantic percussion in a fight-or-flight response to the imminent climate catastrophe. Guttural growls wallow in natural destruction. Panicked shrieks emerge from a flood of pollution. By focusing the extreme aesthetic of goregrind on these themes, Tongue Yanked forces the listener to confront our mountains of trash as a type of viscera, a gut-churning biohazard just as gruesome as any other rotting corpse.
