Description Bathtub Shitter “Fertilizer” 7″ [First Blood Family] Check exclusive audio! Bathtub Shitter Japan has produced a great number of outstanding grindcore bands over the years, but only one of them is called Bathtub Shitter. Masters of filthy, brutal and fervently obnoxious sonic chaos, the Osaka quartet tend to write songs about either politics or, erm, shit, drawing from classic grind, sloppy death metal and primitive thrash and delivering everything with a bug-eyed zeal that few of their peers could credibly emulate. Other Japanese grind bands like 324 and Final Exit may be faster and more precise, but Bathtub Shitter are a) heroically deranged and b) called Bathtub Shitter. Quite why you’d need extra reasons to listen to them is anyone’s guess. Seven more tracks of brutal grindcore from these insane Japanese fans of the bowel movement. I seem to be starting to get into this band more and more with each subsequent release that I get the opportunity to check out, because these songs are tighter, heavier, and more memorable than anything I’ve heard from the band to date. The shrieking high vocals are kept largely in check in favor of lower screaming, the guitar tone is nice and thick, the mix is fairly even, etc. As far as the writing, there are some classic breakdowns and speedy passages reminiscent of genre staples like Terrorizer, and a few generally slower tracks such as the mosh worthy “Bathtub Shitter” or the dissonant and forceful “I Cha Ko, No Cho Co”. Two of the tracks were recorded live (including the second rendition of “Bathtub Shitter” that appears herein), so the vocals can be a little out front, but overall they still sound strong and fit in with the other tracks surprisingly well. The 7″ comes in a black and white sleeve with a few band photos, the lyrics, and some of the bands token illustrations. Of course the lyrics are totally nuts and deal with a lot of shitting: “My mouth, my ass feels lies of past, light of reality, There is long way behind me, mother shit point was my start point, Born my brown line from mother line, Ass is feeling…” Musically I think this is my favorite material yet from these guys. I’m pleased to hear them nail a heavier sound and focus less on those grating high-pitched vocals, but the writing and arrangements seem more varied and effective as well – streamlined perhaps, but more powerful nonetheless.
