ULCERRHOEA/DYSMORFIC Split Ep
(Putrid Nausea Productions)
Release date: 2001
Ulcerrhoea Review: The Split w/Pulmonary Fibrosis truly amazed me, and Ulcerrhoea keeps it that way. My review is based on some raw mix or something, but it's already really impressive. Brilliant grindcore, a bit crusty and stuff... It sticks to intensity, straightforward basic structures and it's really fast-paced. Furious vocals, sharp fast drums, grind riffs... Things that make great impression on me. It's the kind of grind I'm psyched about. They downplayed the gore gore vocal effects on this one though, I think there's only one song with them. Too bad! The rest is totally awesome, really one of the finest grindcore act around, I mean it!
Tracks: 1)Solve the conflict 2)The cancer grows on 3)Vacuum packed & empty 4)Stand below 5)Declaration of dependence 6)Full of shit 7)What's next 8)Born kneeling
Dysmorfic Review: This one's in the same spirit as Ulcerrhoea, fast, totally raw and violent. Not always as straightforward, a little bit more loose, with some more moderate parts at times. So, maybe not as compact, but still really effective, kick-ass, fast, brilliantly played the same way Ulcerrhoea is... I had never heard Dysmorfic before, but that's a band I look forward to know more about. And that's gonna be an awesome Split Ep, obviously huge effort by both bands, who keep their grindcore as pure as possible...

Tracks: 1)Force fed 2)Nothing 3)Punk? 4)Grey nothingness 5)Ignorance/Lies
 
UNHOLY GRAVE/AGATHOCLES
(MCR Company)
Release date: 1996

Unholy Grave "Agonies" Review: Extreme grindcore in the own Unholy Grave way: growls and screams, quite feeble sound but catchy music, lot of noise... Some mince/crusty influences... one cool piece of grind. One of my very favourite band from Japan!
Tracks: 1)Slaughtered civilians 2)My nightmare 3)Japan's warcrime 4)Confession 5)Ei skit sota 6)Kim after Kim
Agathocles "No gain-just pain" Review: 5 grind/mincecore songs: one of the best Agathocles eps; only crushing, fast, mincing and catchy songs; In Agathocles own style... very interesting lyrics....... simply great!!!

Tracks:
1)No gain- just pain 2)The sin I regret 3)Insufferable beings? 4)Do all the sick experience healing? 5)L'ardoise vierge
 
UNHOLY GRAVE/CAPTAIN 3 LEG
(Headfucker Records)

Release date: 1998
Unholy Grave Review: A new Unholy Grave ep: always in their very personal way: a merciless, raw, intense, brutal grindcore with a great crusty/noisy vibe. Vocals ranging from hateful crazed screamings to demented low growls, and a variety of fast grinding parts, midtempos and crusty riffs... A helluva great japanese grindcore band... With social lyrics and a funny cover...
Tracks:
1)Xeroxed person 2)Zillion of bodies 3)Life after death 4)Land for sacrifice 5)Mutilated souls
Captain 3 Leg Review: This is the first Captain 3 Leg release I had the pleasure to listen to! Here are about 7 tracks(the titles aren't on the cover!) of grind/noise à la Dismembered Fetus("Generation of hate"), with a heavier, blowing sound and a bigger hardcore/crust influence. Anyway C3L is definitely extremely intense and hateful! Fast and harsh grinding or twisted crusty midtempos, it's fucking ripping brains out! Hysterical screams shifting abominable aggressive roars, noisy guitars and all the shit... Some pissed off grind/noise. Truly muthafucking insane! Check out the funny Iron Maiden's "Killers" ripoff cover!
