WORLD/CRIPPLE BASTARDS Split 7"ep  (NAT Records)  Release date: 1999

Cripple Bastards "Extreme glorification of violence" side Review: I am impressed! I listened to the latest Cripple Bastards records, and realized they surpassed everything they did in the past, both musically and lyrically! But with their side of this split 7"ep, they once again culminate everything from higher! The lyrics and commentaries are some of the most pertinent and interesting they ever written! Many things to read and think about! It's a perfect support to Cripple Bastards extreme grind/hardcore! Top notch hateful raw grind, with aggressive guitars, wonderful bass sound distort, the so personal Giullio pissed off vocals, bulldosing drums.... Records after records I appreciate the Cripple Bastards more and more! This is new studio tracks with amazing sound! Kick-ass! Most of the lyrics are reflections about violence, artwork is impressive (front picture is from "Nekromantik 2", inside pictures are from Fulci's "New York Ripper"...), and they dedicated to Lucio Fulci! So gore-freaks should also try to get this great EP!

Tracks: 1)Pete the ripper 2)Negativity 3)I wonder who the real cannibals are 4)I dare you

World "New World" side Review: A wonderful surprise! This japanese band delivers multiple songs, and release such intensity and hardness from the simple classic raw grind-noise style, it reaches the state of ultimate piece of art! Savage, ferocious, compact, raw, like a sound of scrap-iron... I'm so enthusiastic about it! But that's so great! The cover artwork and layout is also really brilliant! Worth being checked out!
