Scotland’s loudest purveyors of cartoonishly disgusting slam are about to invade your dusty cartridge slot. Party Cannon has announced that their new EP, Subjected To A Partying, is coming out on an actual Nintendo 64 cart because if you’re not listening to metal on dead formats, then you are probably a poser. If you’ve ever wondered what blast beats and gutter-shaking vocals would sound like squeezed through late‑’90s hardware, here’s your moment.
Bassist Clankenstein says the band is “going where no slamming death metal band has gone before: Nintendo 64,” leaning hard into the “get N or get out” energy you’d expect from a group already known for absurdly bright logo fonts and violently stupid song titles. The EP marks the first release with new vocalist Daryl “The Frogman” Boyce, whose performance is described as “unfettered pressurized sewerage pouring all over these tracks”, which is exactly how I like my death metal vocalists to sound, as well as describe themselves. Band member Vominic Stonebones (natch) handled the cartridge design and porting work himself, turning this into a proper DIY hardware flex instead of a lazy novelty.
On the cart, you’re getting four tracks: High Tariff Behaviour, Improper Use Of A Speculum, Human Slime, and Parisian Bedbug. The N64 version runs at 320 x 240 with 44.1 kHz stereo audio and is locked to PAL, so NTSC purists will either need compatible hardware or a willingness to suffer in the name of slam (alternatively, streaming services work too). A hidden pro-shot video of Human Slime live at Obscene Extreme 2025 is buried on the cart for anyone willing to dig.
The physical package is limited to just 100 copies and comes with exclusive band bios, photos, and a resin mini-figure of mascot Vominic for your shelf of questionable life choices (if you’re reading this site, you know exactly what shelf I’m talking about). For anyone who’d rather keep their consoles unviolated, vinyl and CD versions drop the same day, March 27, 2026, through Unique Leader Records, and those add five extra tracks in the form of remixes and live cuts. Party Cannon has already done a Sega Mega Drive release, so at this point, the N64 move feels less like a gimmick and more like a mission statement: if it has a cartridge slot, they will slam it.
