Dr. Acula - 2007 Silver-Lipped Operator Of Bullshit


Band : Dr. Acula
Album : Silver-Lipped Operator Of Bullshit
Release Year : 2007
Genre : Deathcore / Gringcore / Experimental
 
Tracklist : 
1. Party
2. The Cuckoo Clock Of Doom
3. Night Of The Living Dummy
4. Lets Get Invisible
5. Monster Blood
6. How I Got My Shrunken Head
7. Piano Lessons Can Be Murder
8. Shocker On Shock Street
9. Say Cheese And Die
10. Legend Of The Lost Legend

This is a very odd little album. With titles mainly stolen from Goosebumps novels (kiddy horror books which I was a big fan of as a child), Dr. Acula have crafted a truly insane blast, spliced by hilarious movie quotes, ear shredding screams and inhuman gurgles.
Monster Blood opens with a charming little ditty before exploding into some truly insane grind, and the maniacal vocal performances continue on How I Got My Shrunken Head and Cuckoo Clock of Doom.
This vocalist is clearly a bit out of whack, but instead of being annoying, it adds an element to the music that hurtles between full force grind, slower death metal and occasional clean sections. The addition of the deathcore trademark 'pig squeal' vocal appears to be more ironic than as a serious employment but to be honest, its a bit difficult to tell (Imagine Strapping Young Lad, fighting with Pig Destroyer).
A bit mad for the uninitiated but ultimately insanely worth it.
