Beef Conspiracy
Hung, Drawn and Quarter Poundered
6.5
Ahhh British Beef…
Nothing tastes better than a CJD sandwich with a spunky McMilkShake brewed specially by a festering sweatshop minion. In fact, take a moment to appreciate your char-grilled chuff bead sandwich, sit back, and relax. After all… you are what you eat... and it sure ain’t kosher.
When I discovered the filth ridden English death metal underground, it came hand in hand with Beef Conspiracy, a lunatic death grind act from this field they call Norfolk.
Despite the fact that they’re a bunch of filthy gays (Especially the bearded one and that dude with the sideburns), they play some ugly, dual vocal death grind in the vein of Carcass and Cephalic Carnage… and they have either Jam or Butter on their toast, not both. (Dirty Bertie [vox] has neither, but prefers vegemite).
Mixed by the band and mastered by “Junky Jon” Rushforth (who sits behind the kit for the UK’s Gorerotted), Hung, Drawn and Quarter Poundered is Beef Conspiracy’s first full length album after the release of their Undead, Undressed and Ready for Breakfast demo. With plenty of morbid samples and hilarious intros, tracks like “Cerebral Minge” (Roughly translated as ‘cunt in your head’), “Rover Does the Splits” and “Beef Denied” serve an endless reel of bovine blastbeats and disgusting riffs.
The production serves its purpose, but at the same time is engineered to be extremely ugly. I used to think otherwise, but the drum sound on HD&QP is really fucking brutal – everything is tightened up a lot more making the drums sound pretty metallic and you get a sickening, high pitched racket for the snare. Unfortunately the album only goes on for about 25 minutes, but saying that, the whole fucking thing is pretty rampant.
