GAF - Gore`n`Feast (Splatter Zombie records)

The new album ... I have been waiting for new stuff from this Finnish team for a long time. A couple of tracks that we've already seen on the internet a year ago made me believe that the new album will be something new and unusual for GAF.
All those years boys were delivering furious goregrind with a bit of hardcore, there is almost nothing of that left now. Gore `n` Feast has become a very controversial album... there were many unhappy people, there were many good reviews. In this mini-album Finns reminded me of the Australian Blood Duster.
On the album, there is a part of an old bulldozer-ish sound... of course not as much as on the previous albums but still it is here and it lets you figure out that it is the good old GAF. The songs are full of hardcore and rock'n'roll. The album seemed to me a bit boring sometimes but there are some great songs. The track called «Flammable» is a nice piece of dark crust, «Ace of Speed» is just a pure Motorhead (in a perverted version of course, hehehe), «Choice of Slaughter» hooked me with its groove.
In general, this sound mutation reminded me of Malignant Tumor in some sense (if anyone forgot that the Czech drinkers had their own path from goregrind to crust-grind-n-roll).
