My Take
Seth Putnam is a figure I struggle to summarize politely, yet I can't look away. As the driving force of grindcore band Anal Cunt, he built a body of work designed to shock and offend, paired with those famously shrieked, high-pitched vocals. It is the opposite of mass appeal, deliberately so. But there's a strange integrity in committing that fully to provocation. His death in 2011 at just 43 cut short one of underground music's most uncompromising, polarizing voices. I don't endorse the man's antics, but the sheer conviction behind them is hard to dismiss.
