Review: Well, I knew this material already. It's a vinyl re-edition of the Retaliation 1994 Demo "Devastating Doctrine Dismemberment". The band was pretty much sounding the same back then. Fucked up, intense, short songs, total grindcore... Except for the vocals, which except the saturated sickening skirl they still have nowadays, were mostly thick, infamous growls and occasionally low pitch-shifted gory splatter grunts... It's alot like Dead Infection era "A Chapter of Accidents"/Split Ep w/ Blood, only it predates it. Near Gore/Grind with sickening gore song titles and all! The stuff comes with quite a great sound and serial killer intros. Re-editing this stuff was such a brilliant idea! Try and get it if you can.

Rot Review: Recent live recording for the Rot side. They play some of their new songs, which are pretty more powerful and catchy than in the past. A basic punishing mix of crustcore & grindcore. Simplicity, rawness and visceral violence, that's always good and exciting to hear for me! Social lyrics to shock the anti-PC so called rebels. I especially like the misanthropic texts, that perfectly reflects what I think & am! Long live Rot! They perpetuate the great tradition of grind/hardcore like Siege/old Napalm Death/old Agathocles. Without compromise!
Tracks: 1)Strong asociality 2)No longer a threat 3)Technological error 4)Russian roulette 5)Seeding the absurd

No Prejudice Review: Mince/grind from Brazil too. In the exact same vein as early Rot. I love all this energy! A violent feeling coming from the guts, expressed with intensity. A mix of grind & brutal crust. A good sound quality, but no studio recording of course! probably a rehearsal or something. Just raw & dirty the way I like it! Some more social lyrics written in portugese & also translated in english. The picture of the screaming girl on the disc should be taken from Lucio Fulci's The Beyond. A good split for grind-crusties, with a great layout and a lyrics sheet.
Tracks: 1)Pare com o machismo e sexismo 2)Disinformados 3)Foda-se 4)Festa da exploraçao 5)Açao directa 6Unidos vamos vencer

Rot "Walls around us"
Review: Rot in the straight grindcore vein of "Cruel face of life". As well, most of the songs of this ep can be found on the cd... but these are different versions. Grotesque, brutish growls and fucked up screams, loud, basic guitar riffs and blasting drums... a great quotient of pure and basic grindcore, vocals are always a little odd, sort of funny, but that's ok. Social lyrics for those interested, cover art in Napalm Death "Scum"/"F.e.t.o." way and alot of anger! Pretty good.
Tracks: 1)Anger against conformity 2)Hidden from yourself 3)Very imortant people 4)the pest (11/90) 5)The extreme vanity 6)Removing the mask

Mindfart "Fairytale"
Review: ...Mindfart is another band playing grindcore in a Agathocles vein... I maybe heard this kind of grind thousand times, but I can't get enough of it! Some fast parts, some more slow parts, grind, grind, grind, some short tracks, some longer... Lyrics against vivisection, religion, multinationals.... crusty cover... all the habitual shit... well this is grindcore!
Tracks: 1)Fairytale 2)The terrible truth 3)The lie 4)Pain 5)Sadistic torture 6)Multinationals

Rot "Our freedom-A lie"
Review: Four thick and brutal grind tracks from Brazil... Mincing, heavy and fast basic grind à la Napalm Death "Scum"/early Agathocles vein with grotesque growls, hysterical screams and the simplest, totally heavy guitar riffs... Lyrics that "all relate the freedom in a very sceptical and disapointed point of view" as the band puts it. A real nice rampant delivery as usual and a nice suicidal cover as well...
Tracks: 1)Face the facts 2)Education 3)Our freedom-A lie 4)Drowned in restrictions

Agathocles "Wiped from the surface"
Review: Here is another one of the numbrous Agathocles split 7"eps... this time they play with the brazilian grindcore gods Rot... It can only be a great ep!!!... Agathocles delivers 2 mincing studio fast grindcore tracks of the highest quality and one crusty hardcore live song... Always with clever lyrics... and clear sound...
Tracks: 1)Intro/Wiped from the surface 2)Debalance their policy 3)Go fucking nihilist(live)
