Burnt Skull

***Sewer Birth is the first album by BURNT SKULL—DUSTIN PILKINGTON (programming, vocals, guitar) and ANTHONY DAVIS (programming, drums). The Austin-based duo have toiled in a number of groups together and individually, though Burnt Skull began playing in the Autumn of 2011. Sewer Birth blasts through 10 tracks of ferocious, untuned obliteration with noise that one observer likened to "maggots licking a record needle". Subject matter includes sacrificing your mutant child to the underworld ("Sewer Birth"), painting the wall with the back of your head ("No Cross"), and becoming one with a sickening, ever-growing mass of human pulp ("Infinite Flesh"). Pilkington has previously been heard as a member of CRUDDY, TOTAL ABUSE, and THE SNEEZES. Davis, most recently with GREMLINS UK. Together, Pilkington & Davis have recorded/performed as BEST FWENDS.
