BOLO – Frustration (Sukma Records)

This is a rare one of a gueat on our pages. Ever heard of russian powerviolence, anyone? No? Then have a listen. A wave of old music ressurection went throught not only metal but other genres. Now it is the time for powerviolence. As far as I know, BOLO is a two-piece formation. Happy about the fact there still are bands on post-USSR field, on the cover art we can see some morbid building, maybe there is a story behind it, I have no idea! Can't really tell anything about it, but inlay is done pretty unusual, someone used a school textbook, wrote some lines on it and scanned it, it went pretty interesting and unique. If we talk about music, I am happy about the fact guys are not sounding "plastic" and not mainstream like Water Torture (iPad violence) or ACxDC, BOLO does it oldschool. Guys try to achive an old tone (Man Is The Bastard fans be pleased). 10 tracks for a first release are pretty ace! Tunes ain't boring, they sound very well! There are no your standard screaming pv vocals. Throats on this one are more like of hungry hungry grey bear, HAHA!
