To find a good one in the mountains of mess, is usually quite difficult
in the world of raw noisy grindcore. But it is our mission to dig deep, and find some nice and unknown squads. Today's
band is Crumpled Mumbler. Have you ever
heard about this band before? I bet you havent. I can't say if this band is a fully active unit, or rather just a fun sideproject from the people of Cephalophore,
Archagathus and Truth Of All Death. Obviously, this tape is their debut,and i admit, this raw stuff sounds nasty wicked!
4 minutes, five tracks … this should give you some impression of what to
expect here. Music without
melody, and ballsless heavy metal
solos. The guitar tone is
suffocating in a fuzzy, messy tone and is just about drowning in a noisy
clutter of distortion, loud roars and
screams. The riffs, for one, are fast and catchy (they are pretty standard
as for mincecore but this is not bad at all), of course there are a ton of
swingy groovy parts. The sound is the
weakest spot in this thing. The guys overdid
it with rawness, but as for the
first shoot, this is a very lovely result. Oh yes during the listening i got the feeling the guys has been inspired
by Agathocles, and early punk
grind bands. I believe this
tape will be completely repulsive for any cowards, hahaha!
