Flesh Prison – Who Benefits?

Shame on me but I discovered Flesh Prison just last year. These guys are from Western Australia and guess what? Yes, they play a grindcore, ha! After the demo, the guys worked hard on new stuff, and I must say, the result is fabulous. “Who Benefits?” has only 13 songs, but believe me, that is more than enough to annihilate your mind, I will return to this in a bit. After a close look, I found that this record is made in maxi-single format (which is good for the sound). Also, this LP has a pretty simple design, but don’t … Continue reading Flesh Prison – Who Benefits?

Contaminated (28.03.2024)

Good day guys! Finally, a new album is out! How do you feel about it? Great to finally have it out. Taken a while fucking about with things, but people seem to like it. We are pretty happy with it, lots of stuff that we could have spent more time on but fuck it. Most importantly, it sounds like us, very little studio trickery other than editing. If you came to a gig, it will sound pretty much the same. And it also kinda means we can move forward and concentrate on new shit. So “Celebratory Beheading” is finally here, … Continue reading Contaminated (28.03.2024)

Cimiterium – s​/​t

Okay, guys no jokes here! We gonna spin some really tough stuff! Self-titled EP of interesting Australian band Cimiterium. Why I picked up this one? Well, this material is simply mindblowing, a perfect mix of crust and death metal… It’s like Bolt Thrower that is trying to cover Doom! But the visual part of this 7″ is magnificent too! Just look at these skeletons, this is a total “war metal” spirit! The quality of this record is nice. All these songs have a metal-punk shape and a strong dark and choking atmosphere. And yes, you can call this music stenchcore, … Continue reading Cimiterium – s​/​t

Meth Leppard / Axis Of Despair

I won’t lie, I have waited for this record since I heard about it. That is not a secret that both bands never failed… through the years guys brought us top grindcore and now look at them, guys gathered and made a split! I did a small research and found out that everything was planned as 7″ release. I must say I`m happy that plans have changed and now we have a beautiful 12″ split in black and mint colors. And of course, we need to say a few words about cover art. I think this one represents nowadays society … Continue reading Meth Leppard / Axis Of Despair

Shitgrinder – S/T

Man… this record was in my top of 2022. Aussie trion Shitgrinder released a real sound bomb. This is what I call grindcore, this self-titled mini-album kicks fucking ass! Yes, the art is minimalistic, but inside we have a damn bright noise! I don’t want to be a jerk, but I will be short in my words. That’s not because I’m lazy, it’s because you need to feel this album for yourself… This recording session could be compared with a good fight… this music will make you focus, your body will produce more adrenaline and your blood will boil (nice … Continue reading Shitgrinder – S/T

Extortion – Seething

Last year the Australian fastcore brigade Extortion surprised all their fans with a new EP. To be honest, I thought that we won’t hear anything from these guys, because they were on hiatus for too long. But thank to all gods I was wrong. “Seething” is a story with 15 short chapters… Those who are looking for “something new” should leave, because Extortion made a fucking awesome stuff in their own traditions. But if you`re looking for raw hate and aggression, you’re in the right place! It’s fucking great to hear Extortion again! Their hyper-evil hardcore is making my blood … Continue reading Extortion – Seething

Impugned / Maggot Bath

Let`s get back to the last autumn that’s when this split was released in Australia by Grindhead rec. I have a feeling that everything was planned as 7″ but ended as CD… anyway, we have what we have. So what do we have here? 4 songs by Argentinian grind squad Impugned and 4 tracks by Aussie freaks Maggot Bath. My favorite part of this release is that both bands play different grindcore styles, which helps to make this split more attractive… For example Impugned used dirty sound, and more metal riffs. This is a true tribute to old-school days… less … Continue reading Impugned / Maggot Bath
