In this new decade, I want to turn back to some goodies from the past decade, so I dug out a very interesting and undervalued gore album by The Decapitated Midgets. “Shit Ceremony” was released in 2010, and 5 years later the band stopped its existence. Visually this album could not be named as an album of the decade. The photo of the dirty toilet is disgusting and stupid, it is more suitable for some lo-fi bands like Gutalax or Fecalizer… but believe me, music inside the worth of listening. This CD is supercharged with good tunes and dirty riffs. … Continue reading The Decapitated Midgets – Shit Ceremony

Finally, I got this treasure in my collection! A new album from Swedish hurricane Birdflesh! This new LP is truly a bomb, which was dropped in the summer of 2019. As far as I know, this stuff should be out a year ago or something, but there was a technical delay. Talking about delay and expectations, there is a rule “when you wait for something, frustration can be even stronger”, but luckily this album became a real killer! Oh yeah, hard copies, there are 3 versions of this full length, I was lucky to get a tape edition from No … Continue reading Birdflesh – Extreme Graveyard Tornado

I want to dedicate this review to Sonia, you won’t be forgotten, rest in grind my friend! Life is short and fast, and sometimes even faster than a grindcore song… Let’s talk about a fresh split with 3 great European bands – Psychoneurosis (Poland), Herida Profunda (Poland/UK), and Suffering Quota (Netherlands). I know that this split consists of unreleased and live material, and that doesn’t felt like fresh new songs, but fuck it, because this split sounds really good. I want to start from the first Polish band (the legends) Psychoneurosis. They perform here with two tracks, both of them … Continue reading Psychoneurosis / Herida Profunda / Suffering Quota

At the end of last year I received a nice big parcel from Russian label No Bread Rec. Among vinyls and CDs I found this interesting tape.I know both bands well but didn’t have the chance to listen to it. I bet this is a sign, hahah! If fate tells me to listen this cassette, then it should be worth my time. So let’s take a closer look at this Swiss/Italian teamwork. First of all it’s strange to see such artwork from Huere, we used to see a lot of rotten punks and other stuff, but the SEA waves? That … Continue reading Insomnia Isterica / Sposa In Alto Mare

Grindcore has changed its form from its first inception in the late 80s through the 90s/early-2000s. Since then, the genre has never died but transformed into something different, with hyperspeed and triggered blast beats (mostly). I think that Titadine is the band that take 70% from old times and 30% from modern days. You’ll especially think about the modern side when you seen this cover art. I think this image is more suitable for a post-hardcore album, but fuck it, that’s not so important. This vinyl also has a cool print on the B side, I love when the labels … Continue reading Titadine – 11

Melbourne is a capital of grindcore – there is the biggest concentration of grind bands in all of Australia. Ash Mouth is one of them. This furiouse machine is great example of modern grindcore, and among your usual grindcore expectations you will find a strong hardcore influence. I guess I’m a bit late with this review because originally this noise was released 3 years ago, but anyway I think this stuff deserve of few words. So we have a Czech Republic (Psychocontrol rec) edition of this tape. Unlike cover art on bandcamp this variant has great red and black colors, … Continue reading Ash Mouth – S/T

The Netherlands grind scene is full of good band bands and good people. I have a huge list of bands from that country that I love, and Collision is on it. I hear that these guys are working on a new album and that news warms my heart. I’m sure that there is still a lot of work – creation of a full length is definitely not a fast process, so until everything is done, we have an opportunity to listen to this new live album. All of the songs were recorded during great German grindfest Grind The Nazi Scum … Continue reading Collision – Live & Unleashed

Today is Friday and this day is just perfect to have a few cold beers and write a new review about a good Grind release. I don’t even want to introduce AG, you all know that lovely trio. But I feel the need to give you some info about Iron Butter. So this was a band from New York, and for their years of activity (2006 – 2013) they became a pretty cult band. These guys played really dirty and noisy Grindcore, and obviously they have a lot of splits with bands like Unholy Grave, Mesrine and Archagathus, etc. As … Continue reading Agathocles / Iron Butter

Do you think Lima, Ohio, is where we’ve perfected time travel? This is a weird question to start a grind review off with, sure, but my reason for asking is that I’m pretty sure instrument playing cavemen were brought in from the Paleolithic era to form this band. Composted is 8 tracks of pulverizing goregrind with a taste of death metal, and it was released at the end of August 2019. When I got the CD in the mail, I feel like I knew what I was in for just based on the cover. It’s a simple black and white … Continue reading Fumigated – Composted

This split is a damn punch in the face. So savage, so wild and furious… I’m really glad that I got this wax to review. What am I talking about? I’m talking about a powerful split with two Australian bands, Hexx and Shitgrinder. To be honest, I’ve been tracking both bands for some years, their last releases were fantastic. It was only a question of time when both of these names would show up in one release.  Traditionally (as for grindcore release of course) this 7” has brutal photos on both sides, I especially like a decomposed body on the … Continue reading Hexx / Shitgrinder

It’s good to see releases like this one, it helps to remind people about old bands and it helps to present them to new people. C.S.S.O. was (damn! they still are!) a legendary band with unique style and interesting vision of grind. I bet Anatomical Productions considered this fact, and that’s why the tape shell consists of two colors, red and white…I must say it looks fantastic! The new cover art was taken from old horror manga (unfortunately I don’t know which one) and it perfectly fits into bands concept. These ancient songs were recorded somewhere in 93/94. Side A … Continue reading C.S.S.O. ‎– Vimukti Vimokasa
