Maybe you haven’t seen the name of Resonance Cascade on gig posters recently, but this Swedish Grind brigade is still alive. This tape became a surprise to me, shame on me but I totally forgot about this wonderful act. So it was super cool to find their tape in my mailbox. After some research I found that this release contains all of the material that RxCx has recorded over the years. But this is not a shitty “oh no, it’s another compilation tape”, the first demo work was remixed and the vocals were also re-recorded. I believe it’s the most … Continue reading Resonance Cascade – No Grind = No Fun

If you love old school noise you might have heard about these bands. Captain Three Leg from the USA and Corpse Eater from Germany… What I want to say ahead of time, is that these bands are very similar and different at the same time. Short songs, violent power, same spirit but both of them have their own vision about the Noise they make. Also this split could be marked as something lost a few decades ago and found only now. It’s really interesting how such music sounds nowadays, especially in comparison with modern bands 😉 So the openers are … Continue reading Captain Three Leg / Corpse Eater

This is really great flashback! 100% nasty release with slow and ugly tunes. I must say that I was surprised to find this 7 inch in the parcel from Vleesklak Records, because I thought that stuff was sold out years ago. The cover art is depicting an old photo of early Halloween costumes. Must say these creepy looking kids perfectly match the ugly tunes inside of that 7”… Speaking of which, let’s drop this record on the turntable.    Prisoner 639 surprised me with their ground-shaking tremors of down tuned bass guitar. These Belgian freaks are usually fast, but with this … Continue reading Prisoner 639 / Throw Me In The Crater

Summer means a lot for me, it’s great time to have fun and travel. But, most of all, summer is a time for a bunch of great festivals. After my debut at last years OEF, I knew that I must get there again. So I booked a vacation, got press accreditation, and bought comfortable flip-flops. This year, these guys prepared a monstrous present for old punk rock fans – Punk As Fuck Fest. And of course I can’t avoid mentioning such grandpas as Repulsion, Siege, Negative Approach, and Rot. These bands (and many others) were like a huge magnet for … Continue reading The Chronicles of the Battlefield. OEF. Czech Republic 2019

Here we go again another debut work another good and noisy tape. I bet that last year was really good for the German scene, there were so many different ep’s, splits and albums, I’m just speechless. As you may have noticed Deaftrap is from Germany too. When I saw this cassette at first I was by the surprised. It was so simple, there was not any drawing or collage, just a logo and few words. So my first thought was “what a mysterious tape”. So the only logical way to figure everything out was to put this stuff in my … Continue reading Deaftrap – Demo

Life In Disgust is the second proper full-length from this band. Twelve dizzying tracks of crashing, blasting madness. Those that have heard their previous material will notice a light change, in my opinion, this material is more mature and technically a bit more skilled. Of course you should know that Suffering Quota is playing more than just Grindcore. Actually there is a very tiny trace of classic Grindcore and that’s all. Well I don’t want to dismember their style, let’s call this dark, furious and fast music. But, the music is not the only thing that has elements from the … Continue reading Suffering Quota – Life In Disgust

Have you ever wondered how much energy is released during a building explosion? Or maybe how much power a river has when tearing apart a dam? This split has similar energy… A small piece of plastic is charged with an impressive portion of Spanish Grindcore. And the first band on this split is Convulsions…  Convulsions is an abnormal connection between speed, aggression and hate. This  music reminds me of a horrible organism that is the result of many surgeries and experiments. Their side is really punchy and punky… Riffs are fast and the blasts are loud. Vocals and bass have … Continue reading Disturbance Project / Convulsions

France is a country which has a lot of Gothic rock/metal bands, the Eiffel tower, yeah it also has nice wine. And now this country also has a new Grindcore band in Hørdür, and not many of you know that. Today I will try to shed some light on their debut album Húbris. We will be dissecting this entire album, from cover art to audio. This album has a really weird and crazy design. The whole art and even insert in it consists of very different and strange pieces. I have a strong feeling that the person who did this … Continue reading Hørdür – Húbris

Unfortunately, the Grind scene in Austria is still unknown for most Grinders in the underground. That’s why I picked up this record for today`s review. Formed 10 years ago Six-Score became great battle unit. This trio mixes modern Grindcore with dark Hardcore and Metal. I must say they have succeeded with it and they’ve also found the right sound for their stuff. Speaking about this album, this LP has rather atmospheric and dark art. The hard cover has nice quality and the vinyl itself is heavy (I guess it’s somewhere near 150 grams  maybe more). I believe that “Lebensräume” is … Continue reading Six-Score – Lebensräume
