Sewer Trench – Optimism (Rip Roaring Shit Storm Records)

ggggalex

I unexpectedly received a package in the mail the other day that came all the way from the UK. I opened it up to find 2 copies of the newest Sewer Trench album, Optimism, within the parcel. This band was foreign to me in all sense of the word. I’d never heard of them, nor heard them mentioned but I decided to dive right in. I must say, the cover art is high quality and absolutely grotesque! It depicts what I assume is a miasma of corpses from animals and humans alike. It clearly set’s the tone for what this … Continue reading Sewer Trench – Optimism (Rip Roaring Shit Storm Records)

Always Never Fun / Forged (Grindpromotion Records)

ggggalex

This split is a pretty nice piece. Each band comes with a different variation of poverviolence, each one has some time to blast, but not enough time to become monotonous and boring as it probably would be if it were full length, for example. Italian punks from ANF start out this split with some of their wildest tunes. “Plastic Ground” was a great choice to begin this set. It’s fast, sometimes groovy, and furious. Don`t get me wrong – all of the next tracks are cool too. Especially “Pollution Nightmare” with its pumping grinding energy and a few swing hardcore … Continue reading Always Never Fun / Forged (Grindpromotion Records)

Mangle / Fetus Christ

goodguysgogrind

And we are here again with another very British split. I really don’t know why people from UK so love to create such violent music, that still a mystery for me. But, I won’t lie – I really like that barbaric side of that country and its citizens. Split 7” Mangle / Fetus Christ will be topic of this day… These bands deserve to be in my “badass bands from the tea island” list. Both covers are unattractive but they hide some really dreadful violence inside… The beginners Mangle punch me right into the face with just a first and … Continue reading Mangle / Fetus Christ

Famine / Art Of Burning Water (Dead Heroes Records)

goodguysgogrind

Recently I was flooded with a huge load of releases and it’s took some time get this this small split – apologies to the label and bands! This split is presenting the extreme scene of UK, with its fast and slow sides… funny thing is, I tried to listen digital version of this split few times and every time I was bored to death. It sounds so blank and dry, must say I was unpleasantly surprised. BUT, the vinyl version sounds much better (thanks to the analog gods), it has life energy inside, so this small piece of black wax … Continue reading Famine / Art Of Burning Water (Dead Heroes Records)

Vicious Circle ‎– The Price Of Progress / Reflections (Power It Up)

goodguysgogrind

Vicious Circle were formed in Melbourne in 1983, this band is a living legend of violent Hardcore Punk. And it’s fucking great that Power It Up Records picked them up for “The History Of Australian 80’s Punk”. This reissue looks amazing, gate fold, colored vinyl and a huge booklet with old photos, posters and tons of information. Vicious Circle was honored to start this historical Vol 1, which contains the first two albums from the VC discography, 28 songs in total. Note that all of these bullets are charged with raw aggression and protesting spirit. This double LP is a … Continue reading Vicious Circle ‎– The Price Of Progress / Reflections (Power It Up)

Nak’ay / Pizza Hi Five

goodguysgogrind

Grind addicts like me spend a lot of time on the internet searching for good noise. Despite the fact that this is an old release, Nak’ay / Pizza Hi Five was one of these split that I was excited to find back in 2015. I listened to it on bandcamp tons of times, this really good noise, years after I finally got a hard copy from Psychocontrol Records and damn, that day I was happiest freak in this part of the world. One of the first things that caught me was this silly art. It reminds me covers from thrash … Continue reading Nak’ay / Pizza Hi Five

Haggus / Inopexia / Pulmonary Fibrosis

goodguysgogrind

I really love when a few nasty bands gather together and do splits or compilation or whatever. Originally this is an old split, it was released on tape a year go. Hard to understand why, but that wasn`t enough for the bands and labels, so they decided to release a vinyl version of it as well. This fresh release has different cover art and was released on a heavy one sided LP. The new art is so fucking cool, it looks a million times better than the old cheesy corpse art, ha! The guys from Rudolph (Рудольф) band did a … Continue reading Haggus / Inopexia / Pulmonary Fibrosis

Agathocles / Cum Sock (Vleesklak Rec)

goodguysgogrind

Who said noise? Who wants some? Join us, because today we will listen one short and dirty split and, let’s be honest there’s only 1 proper way to do so. Turn the volume up full blast. Yes, it`s Agathocles, if you haven’t heard of them yet, then you must have been living in a monastery. This time the Belgian maniacs cooperated with the Canadian Noisecore psychos from Cum Sock. 1 spin and AG is vomiting from my speakers! These raw songs smashed me with a powerful flow. 12 short tracks with a recognizable style and messy buzzing sound, that’s what … Continue reading Agathocles / Cum Sock (Vleesklak Rec)

Convulsions / Recalcitrant

goodguysgogrind

Since the the early 80’s and through the following decades, Grindcore was never a stable genre. Over the years this amorphous substance mutated into something more aggressive, more ferocious and with heavier sound. It’s like a race, where everyone is trying to hold the lead position, hehe. So it comes as no surprise that nowadays Grindcore is drastically different than it’s origins. Speaking of modern Grind… Today I want to spin a great split with fresh bands that are worthy of your attention. I hold in my hands the result of friendship between Spanish Grinders, Convulsions and American Grinders, Recalcitrant. … Continue reading Convulsions / Recalcitrant

Mesrine – Old School ’99 (Uranium Overdose)

goodguysgogrind

Are you itching for real dirty, primitive, and noisy grindcore from 90’s? Not a problem! Uranium Overdose has prepared a very lovely re-issue of some old material from the band Mesrine. This limited edition release contains songs from two of the very first releases from these crazy Canadians; a 3 Way Split CD with Traumatism and Nyctophobic + split with legendary Rot. As far as I know, all tracks were remastered. Hopefully, they sound not so messy now (we will check that in second part of our review). The artwork looks like a cover from the 90’s or 80’s. Simple … Continue reading Mesrine – Old School ’99 (Uranium Overdose)

Marxbros / Travølta

goodguysgogrind

What could hide under artwork like this? Anarchopostpunkreggae? Funny grind? Nope – guys we have here a strong hardcore/violence 12” with two young but not stupid bands. Of course the cover is mostly a joke and it could push you away from this release, but I assure you, this noise is worth of your time. No more words, I’m putting this pitch black vinyl on my turntable and pressing the button! Netherland guys with the strange name Marxbros are on side A; we’ll start with them. After a few songs I realized that this noise reminds me of real hardcore, … Continue reading Marxbros / Travølta
