(record review)SLUND/AGATHOCLES-SPLIT

Leave a comment

Slund from Slovenia, although being one man band/project is one of the most prolific and active individuals around here in the scene. This time there is another new release out, split with Belgian mince core legends Agathocles.

Slund delivered 8 songs on this record. If you listened to any of the previous releases, you will know what to expect. Slund plays powerviolence hardcore with grindcore and crust punk thrown in here and there and clever use of samples and humour. I am sure that songs like Pill Cosby, Yngwie Doesn´t Like Donuts or Chakra Cleansing Party will do you some good.

As for the Agathocles side of the split there are two songs over here, being Maze of Papers and Forced To Masturbate but they are combined longer than 8 Slund songs, hehe. If you listened to Agathocles any of their numerous releases you´ll know their mince core music and the stuff they deliver. This is powerfull record for all of you who like their heavier side of hardcore and grindcore.

8/10

(record review)SLUND/MAGGOT BATH-SPLIT

Leave a comment

We have already featured Slund on the pages of this zine when we reviewed the last release by this Slovenian one man powerviolence grindcore band. This is the brand new release, the new music and this time in the shape of split record with Maggot Bath.

Slund side of the record contains 5 songs in the known way this band/project makes music. This means ultrafast powerviolence hardcore mixed with some grindcore and sludgy slow parts thrown in for good measure. What I love about Slund is a clever mix of samples and autoirony with black humour and engaged lyrics. The songs deal with poseurs, some personal issues, anti religion…Slund is certainly worth your time and listening if you are into such music.

Maggot Bath side of the record contains 4 songs in the similar way musically, meaning a mixture of fast and aggressive hardcore punk powerviolence and some sludge slowness with screaming vocals. These guys come from down under, from Australia. There are no lyrics enclosed so I don´t know that those guys are singing about but the titles like Pubic Wig or Happy Ending give you a clue, don´t they? This is a fine release and I like Slund part of the record better.
