Oxidase Nightmare are a new avant-garde goregrind band crafting a heretofore unheard-of blend of blast-forward grindcore and blistering tech death riddled through with no wavefree jazz influences. Never content to linger at any given tempo, a grinding death metal section may suddenly butt up against discordant noise rock or tear open into droning doom reminiscent of Khanate.

"This is one of the most harsh works I’ve ever posted in this space, but once I read 'avant-garde goregrind' I was too intrigued not to endure this swift mess. The quick hits of wildly unhinged grinding chords and vomitous vocals are intact, though distracted by the meandering atmosphere of their more experimental jazz-like moments. ON is an ugly oddity that I’ll be keeping my eye on from now on."

"I don’t like the new Oxidase Nightmare album, but I’ve listened to it ten times in the past week. It’s simultaneously one of the worst albums I’ve ever heard and one of the best. If nothing else, it’s definitely different and unique."

“Among countless other things, 2019 has seen many instances of experimentation and eclecticism within the goregrind aesthetic. With the punishing atmospheric noisecore of Cavatus and PKWST’s collaborative CD Ruins of Bronzemaw and the nightmarish, filthy death-doom of Miscarriage’s Imminent Horror, the horrifying qualities of gore that were once limited to a very formulaic set of tricks are now being transposed to a variety of new settings. Take Contorting the Infinitiated Forms for example, a barely six minute release that touches on genres from free improvisation to technical hardcore. Oxidase Nightmare’s debut doesn’t stick around for long, but its stylistic breadth is nothing short of dizzying, as the listener is whiplashed from the 1-2-3-4 snare count-in on ‘Contorting the Infinitiated Forms (Grief Across 600 Centuries)’ to the squealing guitar fuckery of ‘Redistributed Enzyme Reduction’ to some truly harrowing ambience on ‘Xenotype’—but it’s all united under a consistent atmosphere of brutality, rot, and viscera. It’s a testament to the sheer amount of ideas crammed into this release that I’m able to write so much about it.”

"It starts off blistering, but then it got real weird. It sounds very much like a techdeath band decided to make an ambient album with grindcore tempos. It’s only about six minutes long, but it goes places you will not anticipate. Constantly shifting, they have produced a form of sonic terrorism that doesn’t allow anyone to get comfortable."
