(news) Polish band MASS INSANITY covered THE EXPLOITED for the ‘Exploited Grindy Army – A Blast Beat Tribute to the Exploited’ compilation!

MASS INSANITY is a Polish death metal band working on the Polish metal scene since 2003. They released three studio albums: The Hypochrist (2011), Antihuman (2015) and Maveth (2019). Music group from Chojnice created their version of The Exploited song and shared a message to the fans.

Band commentary: „After a six-month pause, we want to remind people of Mass Insanity. We were robbed, our equipment and merchandise were taken and we were forced to change the place of rehearsals. Let this cover be a message that it’s not enough to take away our desire to play. Mass Insanity is our baby, our hobby, we do it for ourselves and at our own pace, the break was needed, but the desire to create came back. We felt the hard way that the system was sick, that in the situation we found ourselves in, we were alone, without real help from the authorities. To express our feelings, we chose the song “System Fvcked Up” by the punk rock legend The Exploited, which is perfect for the occasion, let it be our manifesto against the people who robbed us and against the system that did not want to help us”.

Song was recorded, mixed and mastered by Viehu at Antihuman Studio and will be availabe on “Exploited Grindy Army – A Blast Beat Tribute to the Exploited” compilation, which will be released via The Hills Are Dead Records.

(review) Napalm Death – Resentment Is Always Seismic – A Final Throw Of Throes

This is a little bit older release but no matter. This is an e.p, by these UK legends of grindcore and hardcore punk in their earlier era. This one contains seven songs, two being covers of Bad Brains and Slab! songs. I love how this band progressed through decades from pure grindcore speed and d-beat parts to something more pumping, adrenaline and energy fueled beast, with groove parts and technically more challenging songs with many different parts. Barney’s singing is as strong as ever and my personal favorites on this one are Narcissus and By Proxy. There is a kind of almost industrial vibe to this e.p. and very gloomy and almost post apocalyptic atmosphere, so I love it even more. May they deliver many more and bring joy with their extreme grindcore metal.
