SNUFFED — Euphoria Through Murder

Euphoria Through Murder is a two-track journey into bone grinding and rotten flesh shredding HNW. Each track rolls in at the fifteen-minute mark, and each is similarly toned in it's necro-fed and blunt crudeness.

The release comes in the form of a digital release on Uk’s Death To Dynamics. Cover artwork wise we have a fittingly grim black & white picture of a dead body, with a  blackly bloated face lying on a forest floor- with plain typewriter text below it. The release can be found here.

SNUFFED is one of the projects of Nashville-based Dwayne Cox( Vessel Of Flesh). And as far as I can gather Euphoria Through Murder is the project's first release- and what we find here is competent enough examples of brutally ghoulish wall matter.

First up we have “Snuffed 1” here we find a mid-paced mixture of bluntly battering hack, muffled rumbling, and slightly skittering mid subtones. The whole thing feels very weighty and airless, as if you are trying to breathe beneath a dank and earthy mat of leaf decay & fly buzzing tuff. The textures pummel away in a wonderful crude and lump manner, with zero nuances or subtlety present. The ‘walls’ patterns are fairly simplistic/ straight, but what makes this wall appealing is its relentless blunt flow.

Next, we have “Snuffled 2”, and here we get a more rolling and rugged billow wall, which is bayed by the wayward crunch and crude crackle. This ‘wall’ feels a little pacier than the first track, though it’s still alive with blunt necro vibes. If I was to try and put the sound of this ‘wall’ into imagery, I’d say some huge and rusted grinding machine set off at a pace, and linking back into the ghoulish theme- hunks of dusty, though still roughly meaty human bodies are been fed through to be rough cluttered out at the other end in musty and fly hovering piles.

I’ve always been a sucker for crude, ghoulish or horror-fed walled noise. So Euphoria Through Murder certainly did appeal to me, though if you're after cleverly nuanced and detailed wall matter- look elsewhere!
