| Reviews "This is not a new CD it has been out since 2002 and when released wasn't a new album then but a collection of demo's and compilation tracks from 1998 to 2002. The band has recently completed a national tour with US band Exhumed and these songs give a fair indication of what the band have to offer in the way of brutal metal. With the first five tracks taken from the 1998 "Campaign for Commercial Destruction" demo CD this CD opens with "Rape Of Sanity" and you are introduced via a mix of brutal death/grind and some straight forward riffing. That is pretty much the format of most of the songs with plenty of blast beats thrown in and your to be expected full on gutteral vocals. The thing I liked about these songs is that a good riff and a bit of variation from song to song is just as important as the more intense sections. So over the span of the first five songs with tracks like "Harry's Got an E Up his Arse" and "Life Drained" you find plenty of great riffs to grab hold of amongst the insanity that sometimes prevails all making for some good death/grind. "System Collapse" appeared on the "Under The Southern Cross" compilation in 1999 and has the best production of the lot and sees a slight more hardcore/thrash feel mixed into the deathy overtones before you go from the best sound to the worst. Recorded and mixed in one of guys house it sounds like it to but the next four songs have to be take taken for what they are. That I think was perhaps just a case of wanting to record something as the four songs total less than five minutes and sound very live. It is a case just getting in there and having a bash and sees what happens with "Start Spreadin Disease" the best of the lot and it sees at great opening riff engulfed by a blast of speed with a brief bit more craziness thrown in the middle before returning to controlled madness. So that brings to the end
the songs named on the cd but there are three unmarked bonus songs. The
first a cover of the Doors song which could be called "The Other Side"
(I'm no expert on the Doors) but it one of those songs always played on
the radio. Anyway there is nothing remotely death/grind about this and
they pretty much keep to the original and do it bloody well. | |||
