Napalm Death / Coalesce • In Tongues We Speak. • 7"
Listened CD version of this other day. Was 2nd hand item in my shop. I was far from impressed. I basically have not really gotten into Napalm Death after 2nd LP. It seems too "normal". Too safe in every way.
playlist includes:
Apostles "Hymn To Pan" LP. Their 8th vinyl album, damn! It's not as good as some of early. This has also some experimental instrumental tracks, but mostly the demented anarcho-punk-folk-rock what they were known of. 4-track recorder, busy melodies, charming out-of-tune singing with always so brilliant english accent.
Empire Falls - 7"s and some CD's. USA hatecore. This band has just about zillion of releases, varies between punkrock, fast hardcore and metallic muscle hardcore. Pissed-off angry lyrics. They play also plenty of covers, from Misfits to Negative Approach, to AC/DC to Skrewdriver, to Antiseen and GG Allin and so on. At best, it's killer. At worst, still listenable. On Antiseen split 7" they actually beat the Antiseen side. Metalheads may get interested by listening "Crushing Rainbows" comp CD track "why has hardcore turned gay".
Boy Dirt Car "Familia" LP
BDC is doing what they do well. "resurrection" CD with long ambient jams was not really that interesting, but this is like old approach of band just updated into modern technology. It's still harshly made, crude and free of technical highlights, yet you clearly sense it ain't early 80's, but much much later.
Mz.412 "Infernal Affairs" CD
If I would have to point out what exactly I find lame in "black industrial", it might be this. In some ways, occasional good moments try to give impression it has good thing to offer, but in reality this looooooooooooong album is such a computer generated digitalia, no amount of cinematic horrorscapes can insert "infernal" atmosphere.
Militia -new CD...
did I comment this? Anyways, more listening, it's good album!
Beherit demo tapes vs. "At Devils Studio 1990"
Listened the early demos and 7" material, as well as 1992 promo, just to be able to say whether the new LP/CD/tape of unreleased 1990 album is good or not. And conclusion was that yeah, it's nice, but 26 minutes with couple instrumental rehearsals included, I wouldn't necessary loudly advertise it has "real debut album". Sound wise it unfortunately is behind both, the demos that made the core of "Oath of black blood" and far away of supremacy of Lord Diabolus recordings in 1991 which includes 2 of the same tracks of this unreleased album. For fanatics, obviously a must if you want once again hear the songs...
Autopsy "Torn From the grave" comp
Not really perfect compilation, but still gives indication unlike just about everybody else in death metal scene, Autopsy never became shit. Lets see what happens with the new album...
