Faršas - Kažkaiptai Nejuokinga (Epileptic Media)
"Hello, do you have a minute to talk about our God - grindcore?" Oh, I've been waiting for this release for so long. Their previous album Bėdų Turgus got me really hooked! And the time has come and finally Epileptic Media showed us a photo with a ready-to-go release! Of course, I got this tape in my possession after a while. For starters, let's disappoint a bit those who expected the same Faršas as we heard last year. Kažkaiptai Nejuokinga is different in many things, different song style, such as the sound, the bass here sounds more like guitar. Overall it's more like traditional grindcore that sometimes takes some fastcore/powerviolence tropes, no mincecore influence, but "Seth Putnam"-styled vocal is still here :)
I listened to these 20 songs for 5 times or so, and without a doubt Faršas deserves to be noticed. This is a true killer grindcore with an outstanding blasbeats, awesome bass sound and overwhelming screams (with some pitch-shifters here and there). And one of the most noticeable songs on this release is Georgijaus juostelė, as I've been informed by band's members, it's about foolish fanatics of USSR system (by the way, it is performed in crust-punk manner). Also I would like to note a great cover on "Cool Guy" by legendary Spazz, well performed, to say the least, Chris Dodge and Max Ward would definitely approve this :)
Add a pleasing eye artwork and vinous-black desing of the tape to all that mentioned above and you got yourself a release worth having a place in your collection.
