Labels: Circus Of The Macabre
Review by: Kunal Nandi
A truly devastating collection of 18 songs in about as many minutes, Krupskaya’s terrifying grind-metal mix overlaid with harsh noise, stuck pig vocals and creepy samples is totally apocalyptic, the aftermath echoed by the strangely beautiful scenes of nuclear meltdown that adorn the artwork. Political and environmental issues abound lyrically, adding an angry edge to proceedings that makes this much more than simple hollow noisemaking. Not bad for a band started in the middle of nowhere as a side-project whilst Fuck Hate Propaganda and Kzzch were experiencing lulls in activity. Co-released on a bunch of labels, this is another fine example of DIY UK music at its very best. Deadly.
