 (Bones Brigade)
Release date: 2001
Running time: Cd 1: 38:00 - Cd 2: 72:26
 
Review: Damn, this fucking hurts! Speed-crazed and raw grind to the bone. I only got ahold of the split 7" with Wadge (which is a rare one) and the "Casualties of progress" Relapse ep way back, and strangely those two were their best efforts in my mind, blazing fast, with pissed off hardcory vocals... that always gets me. This double cd contains about everything the band put out during its life time. Anyway, you get the almost complete Enemy Soil discography on a double cd, from the early demo which sounded more goregrind than grind/hardcore, to the "Ruins of Eden" 10" and the split 7" with Agoraphobic Nosebleed etc... I think "Casualties of progress" is missing, but all the songs from this Ep are presented in different unreleased versions, so it doesn't matter. There are a few previously unreleased tracks including Extreme Noise Terror "Murder" and Cro-Mags "Don't tread on me" cover versions. The first cd is the shortest one and my favourite of the two, it has all the most kick ass material, and I think I prefer it because of the drum-machine, the second cd has more of the real drum material and some of the songs are a little more constructed, it is definitely awesome and ultra fast too, but not always as intense I guess. So, to describe them, Enemy Soil is known for its uncompromised musical violence, its flesh-tearing grindcore guitar riffing, its drum(-machine) on acid, its ecstatic speed craze as well as its absolutely furious vocals and revolted lyrics. Although lyrics were unfortunately not included in the booklet, you get a great biography written by band member Richard Johnson. You learn that he was the frontman in the band, and that the line-up was permanently changing around him. It's extremely fun to read, with live gigs anecdotes, strange recording conditions, and tons of other noteworthy fun details and main points in Enemy Soil lifetime, everything you need to know... Plus, 72 tracks, one hour and forty minutes of extreme violence... It's huge, don't miss it.
