It’s always good to finish your day with good noise music. My evening ends with this small release of two interesting Canadian bands, Dehumanized Earth and Existench. Both have a lot of experience and both of them know how to make real shit. All songs are damn cool, as cool as this cyberpunk cover art, which I love a lot. This industrial/gloomy image brings good portion of the atmosphere for this split. I want to talk about D.E. at first… Dehumanized Earth surprised me. These tracks feel and sound different. All of this material sounds more positive than their old … Continue reading Dehumanized Earth / Existench

This LP is a monument for 2 veteran bands from Belgium. All together they have more than 60 years of experience. They’ve been making Noise that pisses off your neighbors since the 80’s. I don’t really get the meaning of this cover art, but it looks awesome, especially with the orange vinyl it holds. Power it Up proves to us that they know how to make good looking releases once again. I’m honestly excited to hear the noise, so let’s open this Punk Pandora’s box!       Capital Scum is playing the same way they always have, with all … Continue reading Agathocles / Capital Scum

I got this CDr with a bunch of others in a parcel from Whisky Warfare Records.I must say I was really excited to listen to it, because both names are familiar to me so I had a good feeling about it when I put this disc into my player. But I was disappointed, and here is why. I reviewed Cum Sock before, I remember that that material was full of joy and silly moments. So I expected to hear something like that… unfortunately, it didn’t happen like that. Please try to understand, this material isn’t bad… Guitar sounds good, vocals … Continue reading Cum Sock / Sebum Excess Production

Only five short years ago, Takafumi Matsubara was told by a doctor that he would never play guitar again because of a brain infection. Matsubara looked him dead in the eye and said, “fuck that”. I might have made that last part up, but that MUST have happened because he just released one of the best grindcore records in recent memory. Had he stopped after the last Grindlink record, he would still be considered a legend, but this record solidifies it. Driven by the death of his friend Hee Chung from Unholy Grave, he’s produced 17 tracks of furious and … Continue reading Strange, Beautiful, and Fast – Takafumi Matsubara (Gurkha Commando Blast Team)

Listen, 7 inches are great, but I’m really, really getting tired of cock teases. Everytime I get my hands on one, by the time I put the needle down, it’s already at the end, and I’m left with blast beaten blue balls. That’s truly the case with this release from Tomb Warden and Flash Out. It’s no surprise to anyone that I really like Tomb Warden; they do a perfect mix of grindcore with little flavors of death metal and hardcore thrown in here and there to spice it up a bit. I fucking love how their side starts. A … Continue reading Tomb Warden/Flash Out – Split (Born Dead Records)

I was surprised when I found out that locals from my area released such a putrid tape. Surrogate Records usually focuses mostly on local bands. Well anyway, this is a nice release to see on his list. So we have here a very specific type of Grind, this is what people call Goregrind. But honestly, almost all of the songs on this tape sound like Gorenoise to me.  The first portion of these 5 nasty songs is coming from Bulgarian 1 man project Nucleus. Hm, it’s hard to express my feelings about this lo-fi gore. There are some good riffs … Continue reading Nucleus – Meatus – Necrotic Eruption

“In the name of vomit and blood! In the name of loud noise and gore!” That’s what must be written on the title side of this nasty digi-pack, ha! I was really surprised when I opened a parcel and found this split. Bloody red colors, creepy art and gorgeous, almost, transparent CD. Now, speaking of the music. I guess that both bands are reserved only for really die hard maniacs of extreme music. I bet you will ask me why? Well, it is so disgusting, so filthy, so rude and obscure that I think that some of the fans of … Continue reading Gore / Visceral 666

It’s hard to surprise our readers with a new review of a fresh Haggus split. That crazy duo is really productive. This time we have a split with Russian band Ӧrkpack, that is interesting because I’ve never heard about them before and it’s always good to put a fresh noise in my player. After listening to this split a few times  in a row I can clearly say that both bands are really different, so this small release has a nice music contrast. I can’t help but write about such cool and funny cover art too. That Orc from Warhammer … Continue reading Haggus / Orkpack

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
