Pungent Stench’s Mucous Secretion on CD captures the band’s earliest, most feral incarnation, channelling the rotten groove and cavernous heaviness that defined the European death metal underground. Expect chainsaw-edged guitars, lurching mid-tempo breaks, grimy blasts, and a morbid sense of humour that would become the group’s calling card.

The raw production preserves the demo-era intensity while spotlighting riffs that veer from primitive grind to hook-laden stomp. Whether you’re tracing the origins of Austria’s cult extremists or filling a gap in a serious death metal collection, this CD delivers a concise, caustic snapshot of the style’s formative years and a vital prelude to the band’s notorious full-lengths. Essential listening for fans of unfiltered, old-school extremity.
