Medication Time – Demo

Medication Time is a result of long friendship between few good old friends. This project is mostly remote and not very active but anyway their debut demo work is great, so it`s one of the main reason why I write this review. This pretty shiny tape contains 10 fast and aggressive songs. Cover art was made by Jan Obluda (that guy made a lot of drawings for Slovakian underground, he is local art hero :)).

It`s only 10 minutes of the sound but those guys made it with all what they have. I mean this record is full of crashing riffs and good speed. This mix of grindcore and powerviolence sounds like big horrible blast at the mine. First of all I want to highlight the manner of the singer, the way how he's yelling and screaming reminds me of Czech fastcore scene. That buzzing guitar sound is damn good. Riffs sound like chainsaw which cuts big piece of rock. Also it was really nice to hear that dialog about religion... and other things. It seems that the drummer is beating on an empty bucket and not on snare drum ahaha, that shit sounds pretty nice). Medication Time don't use funny stories in their songs, they don't sing about shit and porn, these guys talking about serious social themes… The whole sound is not so brilliant but it is steel robust and powerful. While listening to this noise I feel great from hardcore punk side and this is good because music like this must have some nasty punk smell.

Rating: 7.5/10 Medication Time bc
