Show Report: General Surgery, Ghoul, Decrepit Birth, and a special surprise

Last night, Swedish death metal legends and goregrind surgeons General Surgery laid waste at the Blue Lagoon in Santa Cruz, CA. with fellow grind thrashers Decrepit Birth and Ghoul.

The gore doctors were on hand in blood-drenched labcoats to support their new album Corpus In Extremis: Analysing Necrocriticism. The house was full and the band were brutal.

General Surgery Playlist:
  • If These Walls Could Talk / Fulguration
  • Necronomics / Decededent Scarification Aesthetics / Restrained Remains
  • Final Excarnation / Necrocriticism
  • Exotoxic Septicity / Adnexal Mass / Virulent Corpus Dispersement
  • Ichor / Idle Teratoma Core
  • Plexus Necrosis
  • Mortsafe Rupture / Deadhouse/ Slithering Maceration Of Ulcerous Facial Tissue
  • Ambulance Chaser / Mattots in Your Coffin
General Surgery played the first dozen songs off their new album in order, and they sounded simply amazing. This is one band that must be seen live to be fully appreciated.

The big surprise of the evening was the guest appearance by none other than Dr. Morton Fairbanks of The County Medical Examiners!

Upon hitting the stage, Dr. Eriksson handed his bass to Dr. Fairbanks, and then dove into the crowd. Later, he commented on how great it was to watch the band play his favorite song—Slithering Maceration Of Ulcerous Facial Tissue.

Technical Death Metallers Decrepit Birth got the crowd worked up just prior to General Surgery taking the stage. Ghoul, who describe their sound as "A chainsaw grinding its way through your stupid head", closed the show with their unique form of Death/Thrash/Punk replete with full-headed and bloody head coverings. Ghoul played Splatterthrash, Bury the Hatchet, and were joined on stage by a giant killer robot for the song Rise! Killbot! Rise!.
