…face slamming & horn honking mix of proton King Crimson like mettlics [sic], galloping grind-cored & punchy hard core rock, searing jazz attacks & the odd dip into more atmospheric & sleazed jazz/ rock work-outs. -Musique Machine

Mothguts settle into their own niche that can go from swing to drums barreling downhill amidst a super fast guitar repetition or sweltering sax skronk, right before dropping back into a complex composition before you can even blink. -Incomplete Tales of Several Journeys

There is a sanctum filled with crimson bile. With bleeding ears and bleeding eyes, a devil jazz quartet lures you up the stairs. It’s a chaotic Anal Cunt-fueled path of destruction that, at times, actually swings. Taking cues from extreme free-jazz outfits like Painkiller and Last Exit, New Jersey’s Mothguts is what happens when jazz shanks a metal vokillist and replaces him with a squalling saxophonist. In this case, it’s Anthony Ware (sax), Mike Noordzy (bass), Ben Ross (drums) and Chris Welcome (guitar). III includes such future hits as “Knife Rape,” “The Nacht Time Is The Racht Time” and “Jizz Factory.” Limited edition of 150 pro-printed CDRs with heavy cardstock cover housed in vinyl jacket. First 50 copies come with a Mothguts sticker.
