I AM NO HERO WEBZINE
This is the first release of a rather new and upcoming Aussie band: The Day Everything Became Nothing. Heavy grindcore, but unlike some other rather cheap bands, this is not pure chaos. The grooving basslines, the ugly downtuned guitarsound and the fanatic drums make this record really dark and violent. Then still add some "burping" fucked up vocals and you get some gore pieces of very structured grindcore with some metalcore in it blasting upon your ears. Now don’t think this is something for straight hardcore kids, this is probably a little bit too heavy for them. Don’t hesitate to spend your money on this solid release although I suggest you put on fresh clothes after listening, cause hungry vultures love the smell of rotting bloodsoaked carcass.
The Day Everything Became Nothing includes members of Fuck… I’m Dead and Blood Duster

SHARP SHOOTER
Once again No Escape manages to deliver an excellent record, with members of Australian grind behemoths, Blood Duster and Fuck…I’m Dead have joined forces to create The Day Everything Became Nothing. They offer us Le Mort, and it is a fine example of quality goregrind. With a hint of Cock and Ball Torture, added to the other bands respective influence, this is a nine track journey into what goregrind should sound like.
Le Mort opens with a rather odd intro, mostly samples and electronic distortion. A brief sample of the Beatles classic “All You Need is Love,” is heard for a moment before the bizarre intro is bought to a close. This intro leads right into the first track which greats you with heavy down tuned guitars and blast beats. The vocals are incredibly deep and guttural, with some occasional high screams in the mix to keep things from getting stale. The guitars groove, but have some heavier chugging to them as well. The drums are well done, and the fact that the blast isn’t always dominating every second of play really gives this CD some nice changes. Although for all you blast beat fans, there are plenty of those to keep you satisfied. The songs have some great tempo changes; as they can go from slow and heavy, almost sludge like, to fast blasting almost instantly. There are occasions when the blasting comes with some slower guitar parts creating an interesting dynamic between the drums and guitars.
This is one of the best gore records to come out this year. In a genre that gets repetitive all too quickly, The Day Everything Became Nothing have managed to create a record that is interesting and keeps the listener occupied. This will be in the CD player for a long time. If you like gore, but are tired of the same old thing, then there’s no reason why you shouldn’t be listening to this.
