I’m
starting to worry about Italy, for several years there were a lot of
new and fresh Gore bands. I must say that is strange but pleasant for
me. Yakisoba is one of the many bands who emerged from the new age
primordial ooze. This is a one man project which debuted last year
with the EP “Mandatory Amputation”. It`s not surprising that this
debut work has all of the attributes of Goregrind. The cover is
fucking disgusting, this Asian corpse looks like a victim of Unit
731! The Noise is nasty and bloody too, but I will write about this a
bit later. There are two releases of this demo - tape and CDr
versions (I was lucky to get the CDr). It looks simple, there is no
insert, track list and all of the info can be found on the reverse
side of the sleeve. Becoming acquainted with Yakisoba only lasts 6
minutes, but for that short period you will be crushed with huge
portion of noisy music.
The
drum machine is set to max, the pitch shifter is on and the strings
are ready to slice. Michele (that is the name of the guy behind this
band) managed to create a really dirty and ugly piece of gore. I
don't know why this guy is so in love with Japan, but I like how he
used samples from Japanese movies in this mess. The first thing that
you will notice on this demo is the distorted vocals. These vomiting
vocals have heavy and loud sound. It’s very similar to the sound of
boiling water. The guitar tone is simple but it’s mostly cluttered
with vocals. And, the sound of the drum machine is not annoying which
is important. Unfortunately I can`t say that I`m happy with this
sound, it has no dynamic and it`s dry. Despite problems with the
sound “Mandatory Amputation” is a nice piece of
Gorenoise/Goregrind. So if you are into this kind of noise, be sure
to check out this demo.
