Recalcitrant - Demo 2015 (Bloody Scythe Records)

Recalcitrant is a very young band (not even 1 year old), but these guys are walking confidently on the coridors of underground, making some really cool stuff. And all because the guys are not so simple. Each of these musicians has a good background of playing in other teams, they have a lot of experience in destroying their fingers with strings/drumsticks and killing their throats with wild scream.
The cover art of casette won't tell you much, because it is very simple. Logo on a black background and that's it (I was keeping in mind some old demo tapes from 80-90s), but the casette itself is purple and it makes some nice contrast to the graphic.
The material here, although not much (about 7 minutes), but this shit can break the backbone of an elephant! All songs start kicking ass from very first seconds, causing the desire to destroy everything around. And despite the narrow focus of grindcore genre, guys were able to make their 5 songs very different (6th is a cover of the legendary punks Minor Threat). These tracks are packed with some killing blasts, cutting guitars, scream from hell and crunchy bass. All this shit is not boring at all, it will make you want to listen to it again and again ...
What can I say - I will look for some more fresh records from these amigos!

Meth Leppard – Demo (Bloody Scythe Records)

It’s always interesting to do a review on band’s first demo. It’s really cool to watch how the band starts and what it sounds like at the beginning.
So today we’ll be visiting unique country where the number of grindcore bands is almost equal to white sharks population, hehe) Brand new band Meth Leppard is finally comes up with a demo! But don’t let yourself be fooled because the band is a new one, guys there are one hell of a veterans on grind/punk/metal scene! That’s why I’m not going easy on this demo, hehe) And yes, I should note that soon it’s coming on tapes, just like the old times. But for now we can enjoy self-released CD-R, although I would like a tape for myself)
So, let’s start with the contents of this demo, 5 original tracks and 1 cover on Napalm Death (song – Siege Of Power). These 5 songs sound pretty mature and solid. Great guitar sound that drills your brain, nailing down vocals and the drummer who blastbeats like it’s the last blastbeats in his life – these are the factors that made this demo so good. Also I like the overall sound of the demo, no plastic and polished sound like many bands nowadays like to do, here we have a sound raw enough to be enjoyable.
It’s obvious that these guys like American grindcore scene and you can hear how they were inspired by Phobia and Insect Warfare. Overall, this demo is a blast, and it ain’t no surprise when it comes down to grindcore from Australia!
