	ABSTAIN "Defy" 3" Mcd
	Release date: 1997 Review: Abstain! and their own entry in the socially aware hardcore-influenced grindcore genre. Vocals are more high pitched and hateful than what I heard in the past (low growls only briefly appear on a few songs)... It makes them sound like something close to a crazy Drop Dead at a few moments, but probably less intense, and heavier... There's more pounding blasts and marvelous grindy feeling in good old Terrorizer vein... Contains a few terribly effective intro samples from movies as well as two Disrupt cover versions. 20 minutes; a tiny 3" format. Just real effective and clever Grind. Tracks: 1)My generation 2)Superiority complex 3)Discriminating nation 4)Why 5)The feeding II 6)No values 7)Pseudoscience 8)Choke 9)Circle of fools 10)Poetic Justice 11)Tortured in entirety/Religion is a fraud(Disrupt) 12)House of straw


	ARSEDESTROYER/ABSTAIN "Live aboard the MS Stubnitz" Split Cd
	(In league wit' Satan) Release date: 1998 Arsedestroyer Review: This is Arsedestroyer, from Sweden! And a shitload of live songs. It's pretty good, I feel very comfortable with their noisy grindcore style. Something messy, although structured, with heavy raw guitars, rumbling fast drums. Great performance by the vocalist (Terje), and his high pitched screamings, who also talks alot (who said too much?) between the songs, most of the time to make fun of people from mol (hehe). This band is good, they have a perfect grind feeling. Their stuff sounds instinctive, no prefab grind, pretty raw too... Abstain Review: Some live material too for this north american band... Abstain once more plays great fast grindcore/hardcore, without compromise, in the vein of Siege, or Drop Dead... They're very good, very energic, with a good grindcore feeling, an impressive surge of violence and a sound of their own; I think that they're very talented, so they should manage the impact/catchy thing of their stuff, work on more spirit to add in the vocals (mostly screamy, with some backing savage grunt, but often too monochord). Well, to stop with this review, I'd say it's a good record, only good live material, of two very exctiting talented grind-core bands.
