So for today’s review, we have an interesting split 7″ with the US Shitbrains and Czcesh Controlled Existence. I think this is a good chance to compare two schools of grindcore. Don’t you think so?

Our first guests are from LA. Shitbrains playing a damn punchy kind of grindcore. The first thing that comes up is a wall of riffs and endless screams. These American citizens show us that they are not joking. Drum structures are good too. Guys found a good balance between blastbeats, d-beat, and polka beat. All material is varied, it has grind, hardcore and a drop of punk within, and every note is perceived very well. Great work!

Controlled Existence from Prague are using a bit different approach. Guys trying to blast off the mind of the listeners with a massive sound wave. This shit has a high concentration of blastbeats and ferocity. Every tune simply squeezes you into the wall. This material has good riffs as well. Ah yes, it`s also a debut recording for a new vocalist and he did it really nicely. I`m waiting to hear more new songs from badass this line-up!
