Hmm could this be Grindcore? Let's look at the facts, the info sheet says that this is a Ep, but it contains 14 songs; it contains 14 songs, but only lasts 13 minutes; no song reaches the 2 minute mark (some doesn't even reach the 1 minute mark); It contains a cover of Napalm Death; Is a release from No Escape Records; and the webpage is "Blastasfuk", could this be Grindcore?

From Melbourne, Australia we have this 3 piece frenzied and rabid Grindcorers (if that's the correct term), and when I say frenzied and rabid I really mean it, this guys are playing fast and playing brutal! No time for tempo changes and guitar solos (with one minute per song who has the time?), this is just 3 guys who decided to be one of the most frantic and hyperactive band in the history of Grindcore.

Believe me that little Linda Blair in the Cd Cover would be scared to hear music like this, the demon inside her would flee immediately upon hearing the first notes of "The Soundtrack To Your Violence", (and for those who are thinking about the In Flames album, this one was released a lot earlier, so, who copied who?).

Musically, I find it amusing but surely not a masterpiece, is just another Grindcore release that will go unnoticed by millions of Metalheads, sadly Grindcore is not an innovative sub-genre, but I'm waiting for the next Grindcore revelation that will take the genre back to the times of splendor, like Napalm Death did.

Speaking of Napalm Death, the Ep have a Napalm Death cover, "The Kill", which I assume the band also took their name off, ergo I assume that they're big fans of Napalm Death.
Another surprise is the song "This One Hurts" which is nothing but a Guns n' Roses song, well, only the lyrics, they took "My Michelle" and replaced the music with some of their own in there.

Anyway, nice Ep, nothing innovative, nothing ground-breaking, just another Grindcore release, and I'm still searching the Grindcore band that brings the genre to the spotlight, could that band be signed to No Escape Records?
