Sounds Like
Underground Death Metal the way it should be muthafucka!
two kids producing new brutal insights on heavy music since 1995. it sucks, eric is in chicago, usa - mat is in berlin, germany. how the hell were we gonna be a band? anyway, we fooled around ten years ago and recorded four songs.
then 8 more songs.
but it wasnt good enough. we kept going, flying back and forth across the atlantic, and one day recorded the first WORLD OF SHIT demo back in 2002
It recieved quite a few great reviews. metalfanatix.com:
" Super heavy, super fast, super brutal is how you describe World of Shit. You could also say that they sound like Morbid Angel on a bad trip of acid or some conglomeration of Hate Eternal, Vital Remains, Incantation, and Suffocation. I don’t know how they got together to record this demo, but it was worth their effort."
metaljudgement.com: "...what I find is an excellent combo platter of death metal influences, striking a balance between disharmony and groove."
This demo was also released in a split with Absent on Polish label Redrum666.
eric started playing drums in another hardcore joint, chicago's grind kings MORGUE SUPPLIER.
Mat, besides his gay ass attempts as 'meta mallorca' did three records and a lot of shows with berlin-based metal adventure THE OCEAN COLLECTIVE.
in 2005 we recorded our next weapon 'I got what I got'. another five blasts to the head, only louder. this time eric played and recorded all the music and flew over to berlin, where mat recorded the vocals at aldubb's infamous planet earth studio. the world of shit at planet earth, that's great.
NIhilistic Holocaust Zine: "Nothing for the anal masqueraiders queering for the comeback of glam in the emopop! Ah Ah! Beware if you love it mellowdick, because WORLD OF SHIT will probably fist-fuck your lazy consciousness! Ah!"
tartereandesire.com:
"the passion and precision with which World of Shit shreds is to be commended."
obviously we didn't give two shits about promoting the band. but somehow we made it on a couple of compilations
we dont give a damn.
anyway, we both have kids, work hard and live
4.400 miles apart, and somehow it took us another couple of years to produce more music.
in 2008 we did it again - four new ripping hits and two re-recorded world of shit classics
Fishcomcollective.net: "Given the time, budget and label resources, World of Shit could be a heavyhitting world favorite. They’re already heavyhitting. They embrace stunning percussion elements, sick and fast guitar grinding, shredding vocals ... everything deathheads could ask for. Truly great death metal."
WORLD OF SHIT continues and will continue to provide 'truly great death metal'!!! >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
LETS BRING THE PROPHETS DOWN!!!
There once was a time in the land where the sun was worshiped as god and its embrace with the moon made the earth hold its breath as time stood still in silence, and at that hour the smothered sun shall cloak the whole world in the dead blackness of midnight giving birth to the Element Of Eclipse.
