Reviews

"I think that everyone was waiting on new material by this Australian coalition after the debut album "Le Mort". The Day Everything Became Nothing proved to be one of the leading grindcore bands from down under. In the past we've already seen a couple of bands from Australia who became rather cult for one or another reason such as Undinism and Intense Hammer Rage for instance. The ongoing Blood Duster is from a whole different order and bands like Fuck… I'm Dead were always pretty popular. Well, what if you combine all of these a little and mix members from both Fuck… I'm Dead and Blood Duster? This amazing band…

Though I liked "Le Mort" already quite a lot it is pretty obvious to say that this new mini CD is really better. What first striked me was the awesome sound, pretty dull but heavy as fuck and with the emphasis on the drums. The usual 'swing' is definitely here again and the guttural pitch-shifted vocals too, so on the whole I can say that there is nothing really different from their debut album but it is clear that this album is just a logical step in the progression each band should go through. The seventeen minute clocking mini CD contains three new tracks, a cover and a semi-live track. That cover was the track that surprised me the most of all material I heard from this band so far, why the hell did they take "Fuel For Hatred" from Satyricon's last album. I'm not so sure whether I heard a grindcore band covering a black metal track besides GUT's version of a Blasphemy track ("Atomic Nuclear Desolation"). Apart from the great lyrics I can't really come up with a good reason, hehe - they even took a phrase from these lyrics as the title of this mini CD. But all in all I must admit that the result is pretty stunning and definitely worth checking out. The live track can be recognized for the original studio version was on the bands aforementioned "Le Mort", with some fake audience it sounds a bit like these fake Rammstein live tracks - there's no need to mention that The Day Everything Became Nothing is better?

If this is an appetizer for the forthcoming album than I can't conclude anything different than that the next album will be the final straw! Owh, and I can't let the great artwork and pictures in the booklet be unmentioned, The Gallery Of Suicide…" -Vampire Magazine
