Driven by the fevered creativity and macabre imagination of Seth Metoyer, with the constant support of bassist Kris Olson and drummer Tim Olson, US grinders Pulpit Vomit have released an array of singles since their 2022 inception, including the fearsome festive rendition of ‘Jingle, Jingle, Jingle’. But now it is time for the trio’s full length debut album to be unveiled, a collection of rampaging nightmares brought to life through adrenalized grindcore and devastating extreme metal. It’s time to stare into a world where the accepted laws of existence are redundant and the logic of lunacy is king, to look behind the walls of insanity through the Hospital Lens.
Without giving you a second to draw breath, Pulpit Vomit fling you into the bewildering environs of their asylum, opening track ‘Razor Jaw’ going for the throat like a rabid wolf. Wild, furious and savagely demented there’s no place to hide as the filthy bass, schizoid riffs, hammering drums and maniac vocals hit hard without respite. Yet despite its often frantic nature, Hospital Lens harbours a cornucopia of terrors. The deceptively innocuously named ‘Untitled Instrumental’ that lurks at the heart of the album breaks open an intimidating horror groove; disorientating, dissonant and deeply wounding. Its tendrils of chilling atmosphere spread out, infecting every track and conjuring unspeakable visions. ‘Midnight Nun’ is Hospital Lens’ epic, charging past the three minute mark in an absolutely pulverising display of no holds barred brutality, while first single, ‘The Filth’, infiltrates the deepest recesses of your mind, injecting panic while oozing through your secret places in a wave of suffocating sludge. From the howling weight of incoming terror that is the consuming ‘No Place In Power’ to the buzz-saw rage of ‘Spewing Vomit From The Pulpit’, Hospital Lens is elemental and unstoppable – one incredible fear fuelled rush!
Hospital Lens will begin its reign of havoc and ruin on July 27th, when Rottweiler Records and Broken Curfew Records loose its chains. This is the sound of Pulpit Vomit exceeding all expectations and becoming a name to remember in the court of grindcore’s kingdom of madness.
