Needless to say, Agathocles is an iconic and legendary band, and is
amongst the pioneers, who began plying "oldschool" noisy raw, minimalistic
grindcore(especially in Belgium). They also invented the
term"Mincecore", and were not out to prove anything, to anyone. After
all, this is one of the grind/mincecore undergrounds finest, and most famous
units. They are obviously not a band with a 100% perfect discography, but are
still the masterminds behind some of the most influential oldschool rippers
like fx."Theatric Symbolisation Of Life", and of course
"Mincer", which, by the way is untouchable. So, today's review is
hereby dedicated to this very wicked re-issue from AG.
There has never been any doubt how fucking hard this trio can produce
bulldozing crushing noise."Mincer" hits pretty goddamn painfully
HARD. What you’ve come to expect from Agathocles: Angry, distorted, and dynamic
punky grooves. Small fact about this album: It was recorded in a professional
studio, opposed to D.I.Y., but the end result has been worth it. Jans pitch shifted
vocals sound incredibly brutal, and magical to me, and the guitar sound is also
very lovely. Same thing with the sloppy basstone, and Roel drumming. These are
usually always the most tricky parts to my ears, hahaha.
I would say this ranks as a damn fine,and good album.If you're into AG, chances
are you probably already torn into this menacing motherfucker. If not, I
suggest you get on this beast, right away...
