IMPULSE NOISE

 

I don't even know how I stumbled across Impulse Noise anymore, but I was hooked the moment I first heard their music. No wait, NOW I remember where I first read their name: Through an IG posting of French grinders WHORESNATION who I love so much. These two toured the US west coast together, riiight!!! Like I said, I was amazed when I first checked them out. So I imediately ordered their two tapes. One of them is a split tape w/ Oaklands antifascist grinders CHOKE so that tape couldn't go wrong. :-D

IMPULSE NOISE were so kind to throw in their recent tour tape / 2023 demo. Such nice blokes. The tapes are amazing. I understand that they had severeal line up changes so all 3 tapes have different singers. But the hard grind sound with a slightly noise influence stayed the same.

My favourite recordings are on mentioned split tape.

Excuse me, do you have a moment to talk about REVENGE?

 

Often I can tell what´s going to be the next big thing before lots of other people when it comes to Grindcore / Power Violence. On the other hand I´m late to parties regularly. I almost missed the big REVENGE party completely. I discovered them just 2023 when they already released a ton of records. I mean their 1st output is from 2001. Imagine listening to to Terrorizers "World downfall" album for the 1st time in 2023 :-D

Anyway better late than never. I gave them a try when Season of Mist records had a vinyl blowout and I was wondering what to order besides Rotten Sound´s "Apocalypse" and Abbath´s "Dread Reaver". Two records I refused to pay about 30€ when they came out.

But I´m drifting away. How insane is REVENGE? What would you call their music style? They call it Black Metal??????? It´s raw, it´s brutal, it´s sick but it doesn´t even sound metal to me! But who cares?

How would you describe it? To me it sounds like DROPDEAD on steroids covering the fastest old Marduk songs you can imagine recorded to a broken walkman from 1980 and cranked everything up to 11!!!. Ok there is a connection to Black Metal now. 

But what do I know? I´m just a poser who discovered "Scum Defection" in 2023. But there have been few bands that blew me away like REVENGE did. The only thing I don´t like are those harmonized vocals but I didn´t like those on Carcass´ "Reek of putrefection" either back in 1988. And those computer vocals are the reason I don´t like lots of Goregrind bands. Good thing is REVENGE use it rarely.

Let me know what your favourite REVENGE release is. I don´t know all of them yet but until then "Behold.Total.Rejection" is my fave!!!

Happy 35th birthday FETO

 

Today marks the 35th birthday of the best Napalm Death album ever. Yes you read that right: it´s better than Scum!! Unfortunately I´m stuck at my night shift, but I found a photo of my FETO carpet!!! Yeah that´s how much I love that album and it´s iconic artwork, I have a carpet im my man cave! :-D

Happy b-day LAST TRUE NAPALM DEATH FUL ALBUM EVER!!

Hail of Rage - Lathe cut

First off, I'm thrilled about how good lathe cut records are sounding these days. I have been looking forward to get one of these babies since Sandro from RSR announced them to me half a year ago. Everbody who´s into Powerviolence knows about this famous band from Connecticut. Their 7" "Fucking pissed" belongs to theses legendary PV records from the mid 90s. 

This lathe cut 7" is in the same vein as the mentioned gem from 1994. What do you expect? :-D

Get your copy from Regurgitate Semen records. It´s limited and handumbered to 50 copies

I'm back!

 This time just for myself. It has been ages. So much to tell.
