AN ENORMOUS ELECTRIFIED TENTACLE PULSE-BURSTS THE HYPERDIMENSIONAL SUBAQUATIC COCCOON, PLASM-BIRTHING THE FLESHY RESIDUUM OF A MUTATED CYBORG HUMANOID. MULTIVERSAL CONSCIOUSNESSES EXTRACTED AND FUNNELED FROM THE VOIDS. A HOWLING INFINITY OF TORMENT TRANSPLANTED THROUGH DATABLASTING REVERSE EXORCISM. UNSYMPATHETICALLY ASSEMBLED, THE WRETCHED BEING IS EJECTED ONTO THE COLD, BARREN REMNANTS OF AN OBLITERATED WORLD TO WALLOW FOR ETERNITY.
Recorded 2023-2025 at Brain Hat Studio Mastered by Jason Fuller at Goatsound Vocals/Synths/Processing/Noise/Mixing by Spasmoslop
It’s taken a fuggin long time to get this thing done! Headphones recommended. Coccoon yourself and turn it up LOUD.
Spewies launching our 5″ lathe-cut record on Singapore’s Shitresist Records, featuring 2 hot new trax recently recorded by Tolman at Bec’s House. Proper nasty.
Recorded + Mastered by Jason Fuller at Goatsound / Mixed by Xavier Irvine at Loaf / Copyright infringement + layout by ESP MAYHEM – ”What’s mine is mine / What’s yours is also mine”
So psyched with how this turned out! This is our first recording that really nails the ESPM sound – thick, loud, unique, crazy! Technically ESPM is a very hard band to record & mix but Jason & Xavier did an amazing job getting it all together while being mercilessly overseen, scrutinised and nitpicked by us. Stream it on Bandcamp or Spotify, physical copies available through the emails in the flyer above and also at The Searchers in Melbourne, Repressed in Sydney or Bad Habit in Nambour, and more distros and shops as we spread it around.
ESP MAYHEM ‘Cyber Bully’ 7” launch with WELL, GIL CERRONE and HORMAGAUNT
Melbourne’s most sonically obnoxious and morally reprehensible bunch of sticky-fingered little shits have finally superglued enough other people’s intellectual property together to bring the cacophonous ‘Cyber Bully’ EP to fruition. ESP MAYHEM crassly fuse grindcore, gabber, industrial, metal and a blatantly slavish adhesion to the KLF’s dogma through the use of 3 keyboards, a drummer and vocals. Luddite ‘electronica’ for the primitive future.
‘Support’/upstaging comes courtesy of 3 true powerhouses, consisting of:
𝐖𝐄𝐋𝐋 – This town’s supreme scions of the angular and bristling point where the weirder, more discordant ends of metal, hardcore and sludge met in the mid/late 90s and all genres hit their most rewarding sweet spots. These guys refuse to take their feet out of that beartrap to keep bleeding the rich blood of Kiss It Goodbye, Unsane, Breach and Neurosis.
𝐆𝐈𝐋 𝐂𝐄𝐑𝐑𝐎𝐍𝐄 – One of the recent wave of bands taking on the heroic task of stopping ‘screamo’ from being a dirty word. Heralding back to the fire-bellied explosions of arrhythmic dissonance and benign violence they take the pure essences of this abused and embattled genre and inject it full of fresh ideas, fantastic songs, tasteful dramatics and a heap of speed.
𝐇𝐎𝐑𝐌𝐀𝐆𝐀𝐔𝐍𝐓 – like the rest of the bill play a genre plagued with mediocrity and predictability but shove enough electricity up its ass to have the corpse brimming with new life. Nominally ‘old school death metal’ these guys know where the riches are hidden and are an unstoppable, uncontrollable example of making death metal exciting, inventive and engaging again, all the while staying exceptionally brutal.
Thanks to Nat Grant from Let Your Freak Flag Fly for asking me to contribute! Suss the release on bandcamp or donate at http://3cr.org.au if you’re able to.
On a personal note… it’s taken a really fckn long time and countless hours of self-teaching, experimenting and disappointing recording sessions going into the bin, but in the last couple of years I’m finally getting closer to making SPASMOSLOP recordings that line up with what I want the project to sound/feel like. More to come in the future! If anyone’s actually reading this and gives a shit – stay tuned.
