Agents Of Abhorrence ‎– Earth.Water.Sun (Analog Freaks Records)

Wow, this 10 inch looks really gorgeous... So let's take a deep breath and get down to business. Earth.Water.Sun was originally released 10 years ago (fuck, time goes by so fast). This time the mini album has been re-released by Slovakian Analog Freaks records. Believe me those guys are really mad and crazy (in a good way of course). All of their releases have been hand-made, including this one, in which all of the polygraphy has been painted by hand (they are real freaks, hahaha). All of the 300 copies have been handmade and all copies have been hand numbered and the covers have been printed with three colored silk screen (red, leaf green and black) onto heavyweight recycled paper with the insert sheet paper including lyrics on 300 g black paper. The record itself is milky clear, one-sided 10 inch/45 rpm speed record, housed in a black paper sleeve. The second/unused side of the record is silkscreen printed with a rose graphics as well. Impressive, isn’t it?

Agents Of Abhorrence stand out from the midst of other Australian bands with their demonic and chaotic style of grind. Their sharp and aggressive guitar riffs are full of pure madness. The drummer really tried his best for this record, he plays so fast and so neatly (he is not a machine hehe). The high and hysterical screams of the vocalist will blow your eardrums. Of course Agents Of Abhorrence don’t go for the old school grindcore tag. They represent the new kind of grind... Their music is filled with influences from many different genres (e.g. hardcore, metal, screamo etc). I really love this record but it’s so short! There is only 10 minutes of noise which makes me sad.

Rating: 10/10 (for visual part) 8/10 (for noise)  A.O.A. fb
