Wow, we agree on Katalepsy, I'm kind of impressed. The vocals were a big step down for me, they tried to do too much in each song imo, the production was off (not as strong as their excellent debut) and the samples were indeed obtrusive (not to mention cliche). Also, one of the best parts of the debut was the beginning of the Mortician cover where the sample goes perfectly into the song. Most of the Saw

samples don't work with the songs but rather "bookend" them and it's lame.
For the record my fav JPDM band would probably be Vomit Remnants.
Orchidectomy are pretty fucking great. They sound like a distant, mutated cousin of Brodequin and Wormed with more variation than the former (in terms of riffwriting and song structure) and with a little less clear production than the latter. One of the best things about them, though, which I know Nick agrees with me on, is the fact that they are adequate/above average at pretty much every trick in the textbook of slam.
On the topic of Internal Bleeding, I think I see them as being more influential to outsiders' (often negative) perception of what slam is than influential to slam itself. It's too low-brow thug for its own good, and it kind of bothers me. Thug slam can be cool, but I think Voracious Contempt goes a little too far. It's obvious Soils of Fate and Vulvectomy are influenced by IB, though.
