In last couple of weeks I like to listen to fast bands and here is one of them. Drug Abuse have a new release out and it contains nine songs of sheer speed and brutality. We are talking mixture of raw powerviolence, even grindcore with hardcore punk and some electronic samples thrown in for good measure all sounding raw and dirty with screaming vocals. Songs are short but titles like title song, ‘Ham Sandwich’, or ‘Kissing On Tv’ are sure to win you over. If you like your hardcore punk fast, screaming and short, this is the right one for you.
INSTILL released this new demo with five songs and it is a blast! I mean really, a lessson in fastcore, hardcore punk powerviolence with all songs being under a minute reminding me of Senata Fox and similar bands. Screaming vocals, blasting drums, distorted bass and thundering sound, this one has it all. There is not much to write about this one, because it is such a short one, but if you are a fan of powerviolence hardcore punk you won’t regret if you check out this demo.
SERRUCHO are hailing from Huelva, Spain and this is the new opus containing five songs, one being cover by Coronados. The music of Serrucho is not easy to describe, it is a mixture of hardcore punk, powerviolence, grindcore with some metal influences in the song structures here and there. Vocals are screaming and occasionally growling, fitting perfectly in the songs, with lyrics in Spanish language. What I love the most is continuation of some epic melodies throughout the songs, beneath all the brutality there is also lots of epic guitar work and hooks, thus making this music not another boring grindcore band. My personal favorites of five songs are ‘Te Jiede La Boca A Mocos De Cono’ and ‘3 Vomitos 3 Ejecuziones 3 Muertes’. I also love the clever use of samples and the horror atmosphere in some of the songs. Go listen to this one if you love bands like this one.
