This sort of grindcore was a real eye opener for us thrashers back in the day. Suddenly here was an extreme sound, but something with a political edge - bereft of corny images, and yet still downright and dirty in its appearance and message. This is considered a grindcore classic, I always loved the vocal attack - clear yet deep over the buzzing mayhem of the hardcore riffs. From the rattling 'Divisions', to the slow fuzz of 'Hysteria' through to the hyper speed of '...Pestilence'. Short tracks, politically grim and certainly part of a niche which featured the likes of Heresy, S.O.B., et al. Not always for the faint-hearted this kind of stuff went hand in hand with early Napalm Death and for me it worked because it was almost 'un-metal' yet proof that the metal genre could spawn extreme bands but in a completely different sense.Tuesday, 25 January 2011
