KEITZER - AS THE WORLD BURNS CD

KEITZER - AS THE WORLD BURNS CD (YD071)

Metallic, grindcore from Germany. A sonic assault and battery from the first blast beat until the end. Their drummer is pretty fantastic and plays as fast as a tommy gun emptying cartridge, after cartridge of bullets. Straight-up, no frills, no bullshit mayhem. No porno, gore or other dubious lyrics are growled - despite no lyrics being included. If you like your early Earache, current Crimes Against Humanity styled grind and done really well, then look no further.

PISSCHRIST - VICTIMS OF FAITH CD

PISSCHRIST - VICTIMS OF FAITH CD (YD 078)

All the way from Australia, via Germany, sees PISSCHRIST's new LP/CD - their 2nd full length. Getting by the fantastic artwork on the front sleeve should certainly tell you that this isn't light weight or definitely 'ain't no feeble bastard'. In fact, enclosed are 15 songs fericious and stunning more day d-beat, that flourishes and kicks out some fantastic Swedish influenced mayhem. Well recorded and boasting a punch of harsh music that is needed for the times that we live in. Venom spat lyrics that are well written and have such disdain for what we call society that you can only agree with them while playing air guitar to these rocking tunes. Victims Of Faith is up there in quality along with recent releases from the likes of WORDS BURN TO DEATH, GASMASK TERROR, old ENT, DISFEAR etc. Great rumbling intros that surge into a full throttle attack. PISSCHRIST can only help you through the rough and tumble that is life and be glad there are bands like this around who see through the lies that those in charge want to throw the wool over your eyes.

PEREGRINE - THE AGRARIAN CURSE CD

PEREGRINE - THE AGRARIAN CURSE CD

PEREGRINE is what's described as an anarcho-primitivist band - which is a critque of civilisation and it's failure to provide a true existence for those living on this planet. They promote an alternative to the typical work, watch tv, die existence that infests most of society as we know it. Lyrics and short essays are provided to help you think for something other than the mundane life that you may already live. With that, they deliver their songs with passion, with thunderous metal riffage that incorporates crust, hardcore and an unrelenting burst of energy. Fast beats give way to more restful and melodic moments - but are soon shattered and brought back to the ungliness of what prevails. It's all done well and they are definitely worthy of your attention.
