FRONT B

TITLE: “s/t” / “Following Days Vegetation”
BAND: Brutal Insanity / Psychoneurosis
LABEL: PigeonShitAgency
COPY N°: //
YEAR: 2000
COUNTRY: U.K. / Poland
GENRE: Death Grind / Grindcore
REVIEW: Brutal Insaity hails from United Kingdom offering us a mix of their first releases back in 1999/2000. This is like a sample of their first 3 records plus a live song. 1st track is taken from their “Society Kill Catalyst” album CD, tracks 2 and 3 are taken from their split CD with Drogheda and 4th track (which is a Black Sabbath cover) is taken from their demo tape “Sick Perversions”. Death Grind not for weak harts with aggressive and raw sound. Psychoneurosis is grindcore legend from Poland as they ruled the european scene for 10 years!  Fast and raw grindcore, growled in hardcore style and second pitched voice, screaming us their lyrics, talking about mankind behaviour in society.

REVIEW: This is one of those crazy vinyls that no one would buy unless you don’t have something twisted in your mind! Well, i think i do cause i really enjoyed this piece of wax! Minch is fucking crazy noisecore with italo food obsession and nonsense stuff like self parody and demential titles: as they warn “We are Not Musicians”. Yes we are talking about Sam Lasagna, Steve Sandwich and Jimmy Lasagna: Minch!! On the other side we have Sloth. One of the most twisted band on this planet: total nonsense and obscure sludge/noisecore chaos for die hard freaks only !!!!!!!!!!

CRIPPLE BASTARDS / CARCASS GRINDER split 7″

TITLE: “Prejudices and Walls” / “NxFxCxBx”
BAND: Cripple Bastards / Carcass Grinder
LABEL: Upground Records
COPY N°: //
YEAR: 1996
COUNTRY: Italy / Japan
GENRE: Grindcore
REVIEW: Here’s a piece of grindcore history from 1996 ! Cripple Bastards from Italy and Carcass Grinder from Japan! The italian grinders bring us 6 songs of pure grind hardcore with the rabid filthy sound which i personally miss nowdays in their acutal style. C.B. ‘s side includes some of their best acts like “Prospettive Limitate” and “Milicija Die!”. Carcass Grinder from Oita City doesn’t want to be considered weaker than the cripples: fucking powerful grindcore with that punky sound typical of the golden analogic era!  A fucking killer split unfortunately rare to find!

HAEMOPHAGUS / SPIRAL split 7″

FRONT A

FRONT B

TITLE: “Swamps of Horror” / “Deep Desire”
BAND: Haemophagus / Spiral
LABEL: Zas Records, Ignorant Worm Records, Lo-Fi Records, Erba Trista Records, EOS Records, Produzioni Sospette
COPY N°: //
YEAR: 2008
COUNTRY: Italy / Spiral
GENRE: Grindcore
REVIEW: Here we find Haemophagus after their first appearance on vinyl, when they shared a 7″ split with the mighty mince legend Agathocles. These 3 guys from Sicily give us an original grind death ala Machetazo, Impetigo, sharing with them not only the musical genre sensation, but also an horrorific style and concept which is the main charachteristic of the band. Fast thrashing songs proposed us with creepy guitar sound and, in my opinion, well chosen riffs. Haemophagus dedicates his side  to Mario Bava: italian horror movies director. Spiral is very obscure old school grindcore from Japan. Yes, old school, but with a really impressive original sound and curious musical influences, you can find some r’n'r guitar solos in the chaotic blasts, behind a really scary and creepy voice. I can’t forget to mention that Spiral features members from great japanese bands such Unbiased, I.R.F. and Vivisection!!

INDUSTRIAL NOISE “Pacificos / Hostilizados” 7″

FRONT A

FRONT B

TITLE: “Pacificos / Hostilizados”
BAND: Industrial Noise
LABEL: Otite Records
COPY N°: //
YEAR: 2002
COUNTRY: Brazil
GENRE: Grindcore
OTHER: Orange vinyl
REVIEW: Industrial noise is how I think old school grindcore should be. Really raw and obscure sound, filthy analogic recording but really powerful. Blasting songs reminding me of course their connationals Rot. Other bands that came in my mind listening to Industrial Noise are Intestinal Disease, Agathocles, Stomachal Corrosion. They present to us this full ep including a total of 9 songs all titled in portuguese language, expressing social criticism and anti capitalism themes.

CSMD / DECHE-CHARGE split 8″

FRONT A

FRONT B

TITLE: s/t
BAND: CSMD / Deche-Charge
LABEL: No Fucking Labels
COPY N°: 42/46
YEAR: 2008
COUNTRY: Holland / Canada
GENRE: Noisecore
OTHER: Transparent vinyl
REVIEW: Now this is already a fuckin rare piece of classic!! Something that wouldn’t need to be reviewed but unfortunately (or not?) noisecore is not a so popular genre, and lots of you may don’t know both of the bands appearing on this wax. So let’s start with Crowd Surfers Must Die: they play real lo-fi alien sci-fi noisecore so chaotic and psychedelic that you can’t even recognize a song to another. Deche-charge are undesputed champions of noisecore as they present a 225 all titled (!) songs ep, no drum machine, no effects, no computer noise, but just old school noise fucking core!! New 2008 recording but same 1992 line up for this ep! Some words must be spent on the wax itself, cause it’s transparent, it’s totally selfproduced/self cutted and it’s limited to 46 pieces.  A big thanx to my friend Michele for sending me this as present, infinite thank you brother!!

AGATHOCLES / DESECRATOR split 7″

TITLE: s/t
BAND: Agathocles / Desecrator
LABEL: Bringer of Gore Records
COPY N°: 281/338
YEAR: 2007
COUNTRY: Belgium / France
GENRE: Grindcore
REVIEW: Agathocles strikes back with 5 songs of their mincing grindcore, which really destroys as for song structure and sound recording. All political lyrics as always, talking about anti capitalism and anti religion power. Side B offers us a new ep by Desecrator an hystorical band from 1997, they came back from the grave after 2 years of silence, grinding our years with their guttural bulldozing (real!) fast grindcore. Thanx to Marc B.O.G. Records for giving us this piece of grindcore concrete and for keeping up the good work!

ARCHAGATHUS / BANGSAT split 7″

INLAY

TITLE: “s/t” / “World of Starvation”
BAND: Archagathus / Bangsat
LABEL: Bullshit Propaganda Records
COPY N°: //
YEAR: 2008
COUNTRY: Canada / Indonesia
GENRE: Grindcore
REVIEW: And now a piece of brand new grindcore record on vinyl, courtesy of Bullshit Propaganda Records. Canadian Archagathus gives us a taste of pure old school grindcore inspired mainly by Agathocles (as the name of the band can reclaim)/Unholy Grave, with some hardcore influence ala Cripple Bastards. Double screaming/growling voice in the old fashoned way as we all (hope so) like!! Nice elephant ass cover by the way. Bangsat is a good answer to Archagathus as they are an indonesian raw and obscure grindcore trio which can be considered a good band, nothing so original but thats old school grind baby, like it or leave it!

p.s.
i don’t know why but Bangsat thanks GOD in the inlay. Why dudes, why?

REVIEW: Irritate starts with a growling rock style song real weird to listen and ends the record with a growling unplugged song that lives me without words. What the fuck is this? Well, i can’t really understand what they wanted to comunicate with that.. Hated Principles from L.A. plays filthy punky tupa tupa thrashcore, really nasty and grotesque sound. Really singular record!!

TITLE: “Homosexual Ejecutado!”
BAND: Black Army Jacket / Corrupted
LABEL: Frigidity Discos
COPY N°: //
YEAR: 1997
COUNTRY: U.S.A. / Corrupted
GENRE: Sludgy Hardcore / Sludge
REVIEW: Black Army Jacket proposes a really negative hardcore with an heavy, raw sound, lots of harsh sludgy parts, especially in the third and last song. An angry voice sings their nihilistic and negative lyrics regarding politics and human race destiny. Corrupted are sludge gods from Japan which appare with one single song for the entire length of their side.
