NASHGUL




NASHGUL – HUMANICIDIO CD (CAHRECS058)
A 33 track CD of thunderous grind-core, from this Spanish band, who sure know how to blast those beats. It compiles their splits from 2003 to 2006, namely split 7”s with SEWN SHUT, FROM THEASHES, WORLD FALL DOWN and the split 12” with ANTIHERO and what a combination it is. From the first riff, until the last there is no let up, or let downs for that matter. Super sonic speeds, keep in time with an awesome drummer, who knows his blast beats from his drum rolls. Manic riffage parallel to the drumming, that break downs into chunky bass filled beats that conjures up some of the best grind I’ve heard this side of the moon. They have a single vocalist, but the bellowed tortured screams alternate between gruff roars, to high painful screams and barking cries. Just think of EXTREME NOISE TERROR vocals in their 1980’s period. Musically, and I know it’s an old nutshell, but NAPALM DEATH’s SCUM would be a good starting point, coupled with more early Earache noise mongers. Seriously awesome sound quality and despite taken from 4 different releases, they keep the quality and intensity throughout. Lyrically, it’s a look at how fucked up the human race it; be it killing the planet, enslaving our souls to the daily grind of working etc. If that’s not enough, there is a video too.
Each CD is $10.00 ppd USA and $15.00 world.
