Discreate were a Grind-act from the Philippines, with two demos on their name, Raw Is Brutality and Contingent Development Of Inanimate Modifications. The latter was originally released on tape via Costa Rica-based label Viceral Vomit Records in October 2011, and re-released shortly after on CD via Rebirth The Metal Productions. Now also Metallic Media are involved in order to give this recording a decent promotion and distribution.

The three tracks, recorded by Em Lozano, Michael Carlos, Mike Emberador and Miko Pareja (all of them active in other Death and Grind combos, such as Monkey Eating Flesh, Guillotined, Sultan and The Deadflesh Architect), last for just under ten minutes. What these tracks stand for is, well, a pure form of old styled Grindcore with hints of Brutal Death Metal and Tech-Grind. Multiple Stabwounds, The Pleasure Of Eternal Killing and Thought Forms Perverted, well, the titles speak for themselves, don’t they?...

Don’t expect to hear something renewing, because it has all been done before – sometimes worse, often better. I do not mind the lack of originality, but it’s the lack of variation that bores / bothers me. It’s all played on a very same tempo, with equally-squealing vox, quasi-mathematically precised drum patters, the same down-earthed riffs and bass lines, and high-tech leads, yet without that little accent that might reflect superiority. I won’t say that this is a terrible mistake, but I am glad that Contingent development Of Inanimate Modifications isn’t but a short-lengthened demo and not a full experience; that would have been ‘too much’ (imagine me thinking something might be too much?).
