Album Review: 10 Ways To Relieve The World From Virgins by Various Artists
Alright, buckle up because this one's wild. If you're into extreme music that pushes every boundary imaginable (and then some), 10 Ways To Relieve The World From Virgins is probably already on your radar—or should be. Released in 2009 via Fecal Junk Records, this German goregrind/pornogrind compilation brings together some of the gnarliest minds in underground rock and metal. And trust me, it’s not for the faint-hearted.
First things first—let’s talk about the sheer audacity of the track titles. I mean, come on: “Gorging On A Rectal Sludge Covered Cunt” and “Bullet In Your Cunt”? These aren’t just songs; they’re full-blown assaults on decency and good taste. But hey, if you can get past the shock value, there’s actually some seriously impressive musicianship here. Tracks like these stick with me not just because of their names but because of how brutally creative they are musically. Take “Gorging,” for example—it’s a relentless barrage of guttural vocals, blast beats, and riffs so filthy you’ll need a shower after listening. It’s disgusting, sure, but also kinda brilliant in its own messed-up way.
Now, let’s jump to another standout: “Fecal Junk.” With Bukkake Man laying down some absolutely deranged guitar work and Manuel delivering vocals that sound like Satan gargling glass shards, this track feels like an all-out assault on your eardrums. The production quality might be raw as hell (hello, DIY grindcore vibes), but that only adds to the charm. There’s something oddly satisfying about hearing such chaotic energy bottled up into two minutes of pure madness.
One thing I gotta give props to is the diversity across the album. You’ve got different lineups contributing to various tracks, which keeps things fresh even when the subject matter stays gloriously gross. Like, who knew Andy’s basslines could make “Volle Kacke” feel almost… danceable? Or that Kot Copain’s drumming on “Kot Vibrations” would hit harder than most mainstream metal releases?
Honestly, though, what makes this album unforgettable isn’t just the technical skill or the outrageous lyrics—it’s the attitude. This record doesn’t care if you hate it. Hell, it practically dares you to press stop. Yet somehow, against all odds, it manages to be weirdly addictive. Maybe it’s the absurdity of tracks like “Rimming A Fetus” or the unrelenting brutality of “Murdered In The Embryo (Abortion 101).” Whatever it is, you won’t forget it anytime soon.
So yeah, 10 Ways To Relieve The World From Virgins is definitely not for everyone. If you’re easily offended or prefer your music clean-cut, steer clear. But if you dig stuff that challenges norms and punches you in the face sonically, this album’s worth checking out. Just don’t say I didn’t warn ya.
Final thought? Listening to this feels like being trapped in a horror movie where the killer has a sick sense of humor—and honestly, that’s kinda awesome. Who else was expecting a hidden acoustic ballad at the end? No? Just me? Okay, cool. Moving on.
Rating: 4/5 sludge-covered stars.
