Review by: Alex Deller
Fourteen tracks of fairly standard Scandi-style käng from Brünner Todesmarsch, all smeared across a heavyweight 10″ record. The drums blast relentlessly away and the guitars sound somehow thick and yet frazzled at the edges, with the whole frantic thing seemingly on the brink of tipping over from crumply monochrome into pure white noise. The lyrics are sung in Czech and cover humanity’s many horrible misdeeds and failings, though for me it’s actually the singer who lets the side down a bit … he sounds weary and resigned, which is understandable given the subject matter but kinda feels like a missed beat when everything else is raging so hard around him. A slight shame, but if you enjoy Mob 47, Anti-Cimex and all that jazz and still can’t get enough then there might yet be something here for you…
