If you are unfamiliar with the entity that is Sewer Goddess, then, might I suggest, you dive deep into some research and familiarize yourself. "Mutilation Process" is a live recording from May of 2012 that was released on cassette via Graceless Recordings. Graceless has put out a number of great releases thus far (such as the Vesicus and Dagger of Sacrifice demos) and I have my fingers crossed that they will continue to do so.
This is an excellent example of what Sewer Goddess has to offer. Long, droning passages drown in thick layers of revolting noise and death-industrial style dirges. Female vocals eerily find their place among this sump of waste and defilement, beckoning the attention of it's listener. Painfully slow guitars add to the ever-darkening atmosphere. At times they're extremely harsh, while at other times I find them to be like guides; leading me through the murky filth like a siren leading me to my death. Percussive elements lend a hand to the overall texture of Sewer Goddess' squalor and perversion, hitting hard and echoing through the cathartic landscape. The slowly chanted vocals continue to unnerve as they gain in frequency and intensity, soaking into walls dripping with feedback. The whole set is disturbing and wretched in the most pleasant of ways.
I personally cannot wait to hear more from Sewer Goddess. Everything about this creature has utterly wonderful. They have found a niche that they conquer with ease. Be sure to check them out and pick yourself up a copy of this live performance from the always excellent Graceless Recordings.
