MELTING ROT (Illinois, USA) – Blood Delusions (sealed CD copy) (2021) Released by Headsplit Records issued in a standard jewel case with 2 sided cover insert, back insert & red tray. 
 The murderous debut full-length studio album from Illinoiz' MELTING ROT. 11 tracks of Death Grinding violence from Aurora, Illinois! 
If you miss the days when Death Metal felt like a hazardous waste spill, MELTING ROT is your cleanup crew. Released in 2021, Blood Delusions is a relentless, 19-minute EP that serves as a love letter to the "disgusting" side of the genre.
While some bands aim for technical wizardry or clean production, this American duo aims for the jugular with a sound that is unrefined, nauseating, and heavy as a lead coffin.
Think "chainsaw submerged in filth." The riffs are thick and muddy, drawing heavily from the early 90's Finnish scene (Demilich, Abhorrence) and the American "swamp" style of Autopsy.
The drumming is cavernous. It doesn't just provide a beat; it creates a massive sense of scale, with echoes that make the listener feel like they’re standing at the bottom of a damp, concrete silo.
Deep, wet, and inhuman. The vocals are mixed slightly back, allowing them to bleed into the instruments, creating a singular "wall of rot" rather than a traditional front-man performance.
  Highest recommendations for avid fans of:  Dead Infection, Regurgitate and Haemorrhage! Cover artwork by Putrid Gore Art.
