Split MCD by Cannibal Accident & Skulmagot: A Grindcore Deathfest That’ll Leave You Speechless (and Possibly Deaf)
So, picture this: two Finnish bands—Cannibal Accident and Skulmagot—decide to team up for a split album in 2019. It’s like when your crazy uncle brings his even crazier friend over for Thanksgiving dinner, except instead of awkward small talk, you get a relentless barrage of death metal and grindcore insanity. Yeah, it’s messy, loud, and kinda genius.
The album kicks off with “I, Cannibal”, which is basically the equivalent of being punched in the face by a chainsaw-wielding maniac. The riffs hit harder than your ex's passive-aggressive texts, and Heikki Raisio’s vocals sound like they were recorded inside an active volcano. But what really sticks out here is how Joni Suodenjärvi’s bassline sneaks through the chaos like a ninja on steroids. By the time the track ends, you're either headbanging so hard your neck hurts or questioning every life choice that led you to press play. Either way, mission accomplished.
Then there’s “Table Saw Experience”, because apparently naming songs after horrifying DIY accidents is totally normal in Finland. This one’s brutal but oddly catchy, like if Slipknot decided to cover a Tool song while drunk on reindeer milk. Wilkman’s drumming deserves a shoutout—it’s fast, chaotic, and somehow still precise enough to make you feel inadequate about your own air-drumming skills. And let’s not forget Kolkka’s guitar work; it’s sharp enough to slice through steel beams. If this track doesn’t make you wanna smash stuff (responsibly, please), then maybe music just isn’t for you.
Now, I gotta hand it to Forsman, who mastered this beast. Somehow, all the layers of noise come together without sounding like someone dropped a mic into a woodchipper. And props to Ulti-Make for the lyrics—they’re as disgusting and unhinged as you’d expect from a project involving dudes named Cannibal Accident and Skulmagot. Seriously, lines about sewage seduction? File under “Things I Never Needed But Am Glad Exist.”
What makes Split MCD stand out isn’t just its brutality—it’s the sheer audacity of it all. These guys aren’t trying to win Grammys or appease mainstream audiences. They’re making music for people who think sitting quietly is overrated. Sure, it might not be everyone’s cup of bile, but for fans of extreme sounds, this record is basically catnip.
Final thought: Listening to this album feels like surviving a natural disaster—you walk away battered, disoriented, and kinda proud of yourself. Also, fun fact: Finland has more heavy metal bands per capita than any other country. Coincidence? Probably not. Now go listen to this thing before your neighbors do and ruin your street cred.
