Cost: $1.00
At first the band name on the spine caused me to pull this out for a better look. Sounds like a goregrind band name, right? The cover and layout looked more like some sort of extreme industrial or experimental music, but I still ended up buying it as trade fodder. Than I poke around online and it's often described as grindcore. Uh, not quite. Hardcore here, somewhat discordant at times, but not all that extreme as far as hardcore goes.
The main vocals are from a chick--it sounds less like she's pissed off and more like she's trying to shout herself hoarse. The last listed track is a slightly oddball cover of Slapshot's "No Friend of Mine" where they substitute a kazoo for the chorus...Yeah. There's also a hidden track which is just a cacophony of noise, and that track actually DOES sound like actual grindcore. I actually would have preferred if the whole album was of that kind of stuff, because then at least I could appreciate the album somewhat for its extremity.
I'm not gonna mark this one as being up for trade, but if you're interested in swapping for it, I probably would do so. The only reason I hesitate is due to side-project reasoning...the bassist/co-vocalist here played bass on Assück's Misery Index. And no, before you ask, there's not a trace of that sound here.
