Endless Swarm - Pointless Existence (Mind Ripper Collective)

«Nevermind that shit, here comes mongo!» (c) Very young British team and almost fresh EP «Pointless Existence» - that's what I have in my cassette player for quite some time now. A copy # 14 out of 20 ... what a nice sample from guys :) But first, traditionally, looking at a cover, because what we have here is very unusual. Who can tell me what is that? What kind of crap is this man wearing? And what it all means? The answer will surprise you very much. This old thing is used to remove freckles. I can not imagine how tired this character hates his face that he agreed to wear this damn thing...
This tape contains 14 tracks and it is the same green color as spinach that Popeye the Saylor was eating )) Music played by Endless Swarm can be described as a mixture of grindcore and powerviolence. Not to say that this is the very best record among similar to it but I can preciselly and truthfully say that this record is very strong and confident middle level. Guys came to composing and recording material with some good skill. Material is decorated with various intros that pop up here and there in some of the tracks. I like the flow and pressure very much. And also back vocals a la Infest andSpazz. It is worth mentioning that in the title track (Pointless Existence) there is a surprise guest contributing to vocal part, someone whose name is John Hoffman (Weekend Nachos / Spine)...
