powers of evil.
Blood, guts, sex, and gore fill the pages as authors James Oliver and R.E. Shambrook tell the tale of
Genital Rot’s rise to be the sickest death metal band in history. ALL HAIL GENITAL ROT!

The first time I tried to type this review I ended up with a long rant about why I've been needing all the fictional extreme and gratuitous violence I can get lately but I decided that you don't really need to know that (but if you have recs for something both exceedingly violent and well written HMU).
Oliver knows how to string a sentence in a way that makes my cold dead heart flutter a little, always a skill I'm happy to see in this genre (extreme horror/splatterpunk) but I still want to know more about all of this. I suspect that I will never be satisfied, maybe it's just greed, scratch that, it absolutely is greed, I want a full on bizzarro fever dream of Twisted Cricket being whatever the heck it is that they are.
If you're in the market for a quick hit of extreme violence with a fantastic imagery, look no further.
4.5 rounded up.

Sacrificial Slaughter delves into Genital Rot’s (James Oliver) rebirth, their sick sacrifices and pledges to the dark side.
A belter of an opening, brings you a bleak, hellish landscape that will have your skin crawling from the off, and which quickly turns into a supernatural and deeply sinister show.
So, play your music backwards, and dive into an abundance of rituals, blood, sex, blood, more sex, more blood, and so much depravity, pain and horror.
And be prepared to meet Twisted Cricket, a band with a distinct twist, demonic, satanic, and brutal as fuck!!
And when Genital Rot and Twisted Cricket 'come' together, all hell breaks loose, quite literally! Resulting in a debauched orgy of blood, sex, drugs, and a massive consummation of the flesh.
Utter carnage and filth, exactly what you'd expect from the batshit, fucked up boys from GR.
A quick, extremely savage, one sitting read. If you're easily offended, maybe give it a miss, or at least don't complain, there are plenty of warnings!! If you're not easily offended and like your horror Extreme, you're gonna love this! 🖤

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Genital Rot is the perfect extreme horror novel. Its prequel, Sacrificial Slaughter, feels like an awesome “deleted scene” that expands upon the band’s mythos and shows us the events that took place directly before the first book…And it is absolutely BRUTAL, capturing the intensity of death metal’s most gory and obscene lyrics.

Brutal? ✔️
Well-written? ✔️
Inclusion of some great song names? ✔️
I actually bought Genital Rot before this, but decided to read the prequel first. Haven't gotten to the main story, but if it's anything like this, it was well worth the time spent.
Who doesn't want to summon some Hell crickets?

Very short read, but well enough that you can see how a band rise up to such deprivation you question how far they abandoned their morals in order to achieve what is desired. Doesn't hold back in order to become messed up or what they seek.

What a sick and wild ride that was!!
I am a fan of Genital Rot, so I had high hopes for this anyway, and it sure lived up to them!
Filled with sadistic violence, gore and ritualistic sacrifice, this has everything you need in a book, in my opinion. Scene after scene of mayhem, I had to read this in one sitting, I couldn't put it down.
The book follows Genital Rot and, the equally twisted, Twisted Cricket, as they raise Hell (somewhat literally), ruin apartments and wreak havoc. A band collab for the ages!! 🤘🏻

This prequel was a mini bit of Genital Rot.... but packed a punch just as gross, just as vulgar, just as disgusting.
The perfect prequel. Just as the first, I cannot in good conscious recommend this book to anyone. Good job James, for vile brutal origin story of the death metal band Genital Rot.
